CWHBA Young Breeders Program

The 2024 International Young Breeders Championships will be held in Denmark next July. A great team has been chosen. See below.

Founded in 2003, the CWHBA young breeders team was the first non European organization to participate in the International Young Breeders Competition. The CWHBA young Breeders Program encourages youth to connect and gain knowledge on the breeding industry, while providing guidance and support to ensure they are prepared to have a positive impact on the equine community as a whole. The main activities of our program include but are not limited to; training and information sessions, encouraging participants to volunteer at CW events across the country, national competition, and participation by selected team members at the world championship competition representing the CWHBA Studbook.
