Upon inspection for registration mares are presented in hand and at liberty and will receive marks on type, topline, front legs, hind legs, walk, trot, and canter.

Depending on the scores and certain pedigree requirements, mares may be awarded special designations (premium status).

Please fill in and submit the Application studbook registration 2021 to enter your mare for an inspection site.

All mares to be inspected for studbook registration must be entered in writing! The closing date for registration is 19 March 2021. The Kiel office should have received the application forms by this date to avoid delays in printing the catalogue.

If your mare is not inseminated and has no foal at foot in 2021, this should be stated on the application form. We will then charge no activation fee (31,- euros) for these mares. Otherwise, payment for activation and registration fees will be effected by cash on delivery.
