Mr. Jan Pedersen

                 Since 1994, Jan Pedersen has been the president of the Danish Warmblood association. Jan Pedersen is a man with many dreams and visions for the Danish Warmblood association, dreams and visions that he hopes to be able to realize as the President of the Danish Warmblood association.

                 Ever since Jan Pedersen was a kid he has been drawn to horses and the envrionment surrounding it. He got his first horse, a mare, at the age of 11 which later on had fole, and so on and so forth. Today, Jan Pedersen is an active breeder of Danish Warmbloods.

                 Jan Pedersen and his wife Bodil has three daughters, to of them live together with them on a farm in the northern part of Jutland, Denmark. As of this moment they have twelve horses, from foals to full-grown mares and stallions. Their biggest success in breeding was in 2001 when their mare Andorra won a gold medal at the annual Elite Mare Show in Denmark, a prestigious show where only the best mares in Denmark are invited to compete for the title “Mare of the Year”, as well as compete for gold, silver, and bronze medals.  The mare Andorra was sold as a dressage horse to the U.S. Futhermore. their stallion Münster (Münchausen/Andiamo) has been approved for breeding.

                 A part from being a breeder himself and being engaged in the many activities that come with being president of the biggest breeding association in Denmark, Jan Pedersen is also a full-time teacher at a nearby college where he teaches German.

                Jan Pedersen is also President of WBFSH - the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses. At this moment the WBFSH is the only international Federation of Studbooks for Sport Horses in the world. The WBFSH is the major connection between the breeding organizations of sport horses and the international equestrian sport (FEI).

                "My hopes and dreams for NADWA is that the association will grow strong and independent, but with strong ties to the organization in Denmark", says Jan Pedersen.

                Jan Pedersen on the Danish Warmblood horse: "The Danish Warmblood horse is unique as it, without politics and attempts at protectionism, brings all the best genes from all sport horse associations into one horse."
