The Registers
Three Registers
B
Main Register
Horses with verified parentage through recorded sires and dams. Progeny are recorded by generation, F1 to F3, as lines are built from recorded stock.
C
Recorded Register
Horses identified and recorded for traceability and passport purposes, without breeding-grade status.
Mare Gates
Three Hard Gates
A mare must pass all three gates before any trait is scored. A fail at any gate ends the inspection.
Hindquarters
Structure and strength of the hindquarters, as the engine of the sport horse.
Pass / Fail
Soundness
Freedom from lameness and disqualifying defects at inspection.
Pass / Fail
Temperament
Manageable, trainable behaviour when handled and presented.
Pass / Fail
Foal Notification
Recording Each Foal
Each covering is recorded on a covering certificate. When the foal is born, the breeder notifies the Studbook on the foal notification form. The foal is then microchipped, sampled for DNA parentage and entered in the record. The notification period is to be announced.
