Purpose and Structure
The World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses has several aims overseen by departments, which are managed by individual member studbooks. The Department Development is concerned with stimulating international-scale sport horse breeding. The Department Cooperation stimulates and coordinates cooperative actions between members, and between the WBFSH and related organizations. The Department Breeding, under the management of the National Studfarms of France, promotes several of the federation's goals for increased transparency in sport horse breeding. The Department Promotion cooperates with outside organizations to promote breeding generally, but also promotes the integration of sport and breeding activities, the organization of the World Championships for Young Horses, and advocacy of the member studbooks and breeders.
Annual meetings focus on methods of breeding sport horses, particularly regarding effective selection. Selection methods are of paramount importance, and the WBFSH and the Royal Dutch Warmblood Studbook (KWPN) in particular have encouraged a great deal of scientific research on that front.

“I’m a Sunday School teacher, and I’ve always known that the structure of law is founded on the Christian ethic that you shall love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself—a very high and perfect standard. We all know the fallibility of man, and the contentions in society, as described by Reinhold Niebuhr and many others, don’t permit us to achieve perfection.”
