Decoding European Sales Adverts: German, Dutch and French Terms

German, Dutch and French horse advert terms decoded: L-platziert, winstpunten, VB, AKU, keur, dans le sang — what each claim means and how to verify it.

This section collects the wiki’s stand-alone reference tools — the pages built to be consulted rather than read. It complements the glossary and the FAQ, which remain the quickest entry points for single terms and single questions.

Available now:

Decoding European sales adverts — the German, Dutch and French terms and abbreviations used in horse adverts, mapped to plain English, with notes on which claims are verifiable.
Arena diagrams — the 20×60 and 20×40 arenas with letters and judge positions, as clean printable diagrams.
Dressage level comparator — pick your federation and level, then another federation, and see the equivalent level by movement content, with the official tests behind both.
Dressage tests by country — the current tests of twelve federations, level by level, each with movements, arena, eligibility and links to the official test sheets.

Planned for this section: records and statistics, the championship and elite-auction calendar, and a directory of federations and studbooks.
