Pony Or Foal With The SSH - A Step By Step Guide
The
Scottish Sports Horse is an Open Stud Book. All sport horses/ponies
can therefore be registered (provided with a passport or over stamped)
regardless of age, height, or colour in compliance with EU legislation.
The Stud Book (Register) is made up of four books
within the Main Stud Book.
Head Book For all horses/ponies
three years old or over that have attended an SSH Grading that receive
a first or second premium providing they meet the pedigree requirements
outlined in the studbook guidelines and all horses/ponies by SSH
L2 and L3 stallions providing they receive a first premium and meet
the pedigree requirements.
Auxiliary Book For all horses/ponies
three years old or over that have attended an SSH Grading that have
been awarded a second premium sired by an SSH L2 stallion.
Foundation Book For all horses/ponies
three years old or over that have attended an SSH grading sired
by an SSH L1 stallion that have received a third premium, all other
horses/ponies that do not meet the pedigree requirements and ALL
third premium horses/ponies regardless of parentage.
Basic Register caters for non
reproductive horses/ponies of unknown pedigree.
NB horses/ponies with a basic passport cannot be
presented at an SSH Grading.
NB ALL foals will be registered upon application
into the respective foal section based on their
parentage status and the premiums awarded if applicable.
- horses/ponies will only be entered into the Main Stud book from foal
book if presented at an SSH Grading.
- horses/ponies that do not attend an SSH grading at the age of three
years or older will remain in the respective foal book.
The Studbook Guidelines clearly define the pedigree requirements
in greater detail and are available to all members free of charge.
