This page decodes the standard German, Dutch and French advert vocabulary — training-level claims, movement shorthand, temperament code-words, pedigree and paper abbreviations, vetting language and price terms — and states for each group which claims can be verified and how.</strong> It expands the advert-relevant entries of the <a href="https://dressage-wiki.com/glossary/">buying glossary</a> into a working translation table for anyone reading listings on the European marketplaces described in <a href="https://dressage-wiki.com/buying-process/where-to-find/">where to find horses</a>.</p>
