The Hanoverian or Hannoveraner is a German breed or stud-book of warmblood sport horse. As with other German warmblood breeds, eligibility for registration depends on performance rather than ancestry.
Hanoverians, such as this gelding, are competitive mounts for the equestrian sport of show jumping.
This print from 1898 depicts a sturdy, versatile Hanoverian.
