NA/WPN stands for "North American Department, Royal Warmblood Studbook of the Netherlands", now known as "The Dutch Warmblood Studbook in North America". The Royal Warmblood Studbook of the Netherlands (KWPN for Koninklijk Warmbloed Paardenstamboek in Nederland) is the registry and studbook for Dutch Warmblood Sporthorses, and it has a history dating back to early in the last century. It deals with breeding goals and rules, inspection and evaluation, promotion, research, and administrative matters for breeders of Dutch horses.

The North American Department was established in 1983 to promote the breeding and enjoyment of the Dutch Warmblood Horse in North America. The NA/WPN has been charged with two major responsibilities. First, to preserve, promote, and develop the Dutch Warmblood horse to the highest possible standard in North America, and second, to serve its subscribers and breeders through a continuing program of services. In 1997, the name of the NA/WPN was 'Americanized' to The Dutch Warmblood Studbook in North America in order to be more easily recognized as the North American Department of the KWPN.

IJF stands for "International Jumper Futurity". The mission of IJF is to promote the breeding of sport horses in the United States who will be competitive with their European counterparts. Toward that end, breeders, owners, trainers and riders are recognized and financially rewarded. Ultimately the international sport horse breeding industry and the sport of show jumping in America will be improved.
