(Per the By Laws, these regulations were initially developed by the Pedigree Committee and unanimouslyadopted by the Board of Directors on February 18, 1999, later amended slightly in April, 1999 and April,2000, both in Article III, Section 3.)Effective March 1, 1999. Updated December, 2003Updated October 31, 2006 - Article 1, Section 4 and Article 3, Section 3-4Updated December 3, 2008 – Basic Rules – Add rule # 22; Updated 4-1-11-Add Rule #23.AMERICAN HAFLINGER REGISTRYBreeding, Registration and TransferRules and RegulationsThe primary reason for the existence of the American Haflinger Registry is to preserve and maintainwith absolute accuracy a Studbook which records appropriate identification information and ancestryon Purebred Haflinger horses in North America and their ownership. It is the duty of every owner ofa Purebred AHR registered Haflinger, member or non-member, who enjoys the benefits that comefrom owning an animal that carries an AHR Registered Pedigree to do everything in his/her power tolive up to these Rules and Regulations.Further, it is the duty of any member or non-member who encounters any irregularity in the Registrationor Transfer of an AHR recorded horse to report same to a member of the Board of Directors.The Board has the right to order physical or technical examination, including but not limited tophoto- graphing, obtaining hair samples, or any other action deemed necessary or desirable for anyreason including but not limited to questions of identity, breeding and parentage. The Board also hasthe right to conduct random testing to insure the correctness of its records of Haflinger horses.If an owner of a registered Haflinger fails to cooperate in investigations or is found culpable inirregularities, the Board has the right to assess and impose such sanctions or penalties it sees fit,including but not limited to fines, expulsion of members, refusal to accept registrations or transfersfrom that person, and cancellation of registration on specific horses.In order to protect the integrity of the Studbook and the Registry, the Board of Directors shall havethe right to make any decision deemed proper and necessary with regard to Registrations and Transfersin specific cases.I. Basic Rules1. Throughout this document reference to the American Haflinger Registry (AHR) or(Registry) is deemed to also include past recording activities, documents, and pedigreecertificates issued by the Haflinger Association of America (HAA) and the Haflinger Registryof North America (HRNA), both of which have been legally succeeded by AHR. All animalsrecorded by HAA and HRNA were accepted into AHR in 1998.2. An animal must be the offspring of a purebred Haflinger sire and a purebred Haflingerdam with at least 6 generations. In the sixth generation pedigree (64 animals), one may benon-Haflinger-1.56% per World Haflinger Federation.15

3. Except as specifically noted herein with regard to animals accepted from other registering entities, ananimal must be the offspring of parents who are recorded in the records of the American HaflingerRegistry.4. Acceptable colors for Haflingers include a full range of “chestnut” colors ranging from light blonde todark liver. A white coat color is not an acceptable color for a registered Haflinger and thereforeHaflingers with white coats are not eligible for registration. White markings are permitted on thehorse’s face and legs only. Any significant white spots or patches on the body are not desirable andcan result in a foal with these types of markings being denied registration. The mane and tail shouldbe white or flaxen. Red or grey mane and tail are not desirable.5. There is no absolute minimum or maximum in size. The desired size at maturity is 54 inchesto 60 inches measured at the highest point of the withers with leveled stick, not tape. A horseis deemed to reach full maturity at 6 years of age.6. Ages of all animals are reckoned from January 1st. An animal is considered a yearling onJanuary 1st of the year following the calendar year of its birth, etc.7. Animals may only be registered if both parents were 3 years old or older at date of conception.8. Naming of Haflingers must follow the traditional method: a male foal’s name must beginwith the same letter as the name of its sire; a filly foal’s name must begin with the same letteras the name of its dam. There are 7 (only) stallion lines: A, B, M, N, S, ST, and W.9. Names of horses may not exactly duplicate any name already recorded by AHR. Names maynot exceed 26 spaces including suffixes and spaces between words. Suffixes may only beused in the original naming of a foal and the first AHR recording of an imported animal.Inclusion of another owner’s suffix, either foreign or AHR, in the name of a horse is notpermitted. Use of suffixes in the name is optional to the owner. Name changes, except in thecase of proven error, are not permitted.10. Any owner may request a registered suffix to identify that owner and to be used only by thatowner (no duplications). Upon application and payment of fee, AHR will record the suffixand limit its use to the recorded owner.11. Beginning with animals foaled on and after 1/1/99, all foals must be sired by a fully licensed(by AHR) stallion that is vet inspected; effective 1/1/03, all licensed stallions are required tobe DNA identified.12. Effective 1/1/03, DNA identification via hair sample replaced blood-typing as the officialgenetic determinant used by AHR. Forms with instructions are sold by the AHR office.13. Effective 1/1/03, all mares bred in a given year and not previously so done are required to beDNA identified prior to foaling the following year. Effective 1/1/04, any bred mare beingtransferred to a new owner while pregnant must be DNA identified prior to the recording ofthe transfer of ownership. Seller is responsible.16

14. Effective 1/1/04, all filly foals are required to be parentage proved by way of parental DNA beforethey can be registered.15. Stallion foals born 1/1/04 and thereafter are required to be parentage proved before they can belicensed as breeding stallions.16. Voluntary DNA identification of any horse not requiring same by these rules may be done bypayment of proper fee and submission of hair sample to the lab.17. An owner may apply for licensing of a breeding stallion any time after the stallion is deemeda 2 year old. To be licensed, a stallion must be physically inspected by a licensed veterinarianand certified free of cryptorchidism and free of monkey mouth or parrot mouth. The stallionmust also be DNA identified and that information filed in the records of AHR.18. On all animals submitted for DNA identification (and historic blood typing reports), thereport received by AHR from its lab shall be kept in the records of AHR and a copy providedto the owner. That copy is to accompany the pedigree certificate and remain with it everafter, including with transfers of ownership.19. Any additional physical identification added to a horse, including but not limited to tattoos,hot brands, freeze brands, electronic implants, are required to be reported to the Registry andwill be noted in the Studbook record and on the pedigree certificate. This applies at time ofinitial recording of the animal and at whatever later date these physical identifications may beapplied or discovered.20. Leases of breeding animals must be provided to the Registry identifying the animal, specifyingthe duration, and signed by the Lessor and the Lessee.21. The numbers 1-10,999 plus the year of birth of the Haflinger (ex. 17-63 or 10,770-98) willindicate registration numbers of Haflingers resulting from the combining of the former HAAand HRNA Stud Books. Numbers beginning with 11,000 plus the year of birth (ex. 11001-98) will indicate Haflingers registered after the formation of the American Haflinger Registry.22. No Haflinger born as the result of cloning will be registered with the American Haflinger Registry.23. For the purpose of original registration, AHR will accept foals sired by AHR licensed stallions andborn to CLRC registered mares providing the owner meets all other criteria as required for registeringfoals born to AHR registered mares including DNA testing. In addition to the completed foal applicationwith breeding certificate, the Canadian owner must provide a copy of both sides of the dam’sCLRC pedigree and a copy of the DNA test results for the dam. The owner may also be required toprovide a six-generation pedigree for the dam.II. Foal Registration1. The owner of the mare at the time of foaling is the first owner and is responsible for17

completing the original registration of the foal. The Application for Registration of a foalmust be completed in full and accompanied by the proper fee. It will include thefollowing:A. Foal’s requested name and a second choice if a suffix is not used.B. SexC. Date of BirthD. Sire’s Name, Registration Number, and Stallion License NumberE. Dam’s Name and Registration NumberF. Name and Address of Owner of dam at time of service (breeder)G. Name, Address, and Signature of owner of dam at time of foaling.H. Name, Address, and Signature of Owner or Keeper of sire. This applies only whenfoal owner is owner of sire. See L below.I. Body Color and White Markings. White markings shall be indicated on both thedrawings and described in words. Pay particular heed to lower lip and legmarkings. (Wet legs to be sure.)J. Other identifications. Describe in words and locate items such as tattoos, hot orfreeze brands, electronic implants, (include number), etc.K. Facial Markings1. Photograph. Clear photograph of facial markings (color preferred and Polaroidnot recommended). If other white markings are determined on face or legs, one or twoadditional photos should be included.2. Religious objection to photography. Where definite religious objections existregarding photographs, an owner may request a form from the Registry office thatdescribes and provides for the signature witnessing of preparation of the drawingof foal markings. This choice requires also submitting the foal’s hair sample forDNA recording (at owner’s expense).L. Breeding Certificate. When the first owner of the foal is not the owner of the sire ofThe foal, a completed Certificate of Breeding signed by the stallion owner orkeeper must accompany the Application for Registration. In the case of a leasedbreeding stallion, the Lessee is the “keeper” and will be required to sign thebreeding certificate.2. Artificial Insemination is permitted with either chilled or frozen semen. When semen istransported away from the farm of the residence of the stallion for insemination of themare, and in all cases of frozen semen, the resulting foal will be required to have proof ofparentage by way of DNA verification of foal, sire, and dam. Sire signature must comefrom the recorded owner of the stallion, except that the owner of an overseas stallion thatis the source of frozen semen may appoint a single North American agent with power tocontrol semen and provide signature. If so appointed and recorded with AHR, that agentwill be recognized until the owner revokes such agency, at which time said agent may nolonger possess any semen from said horse. Even overseas stallions must be dulylicensed according to AHR rules before offspring can be registered.18

There will be no “secondary market” in frozen semen. When an AHR recorded stallion from whichsemen has been frozen is sold, all semen transfers with him. If a stallion dies with frozen semenexisting, there is no limit on its use by the final owner.3. The requirement of proof of parentage through DNA is waived in the case of a male foalresulting from artificial insemination if that foal has been gelded prior to filing an Applicationfor Registration (Except when frozen semen is used. See 2, above.). Along with the Applicationfor Registration, the owner must submit signed certification by the veterinarian or otherperson performing the surgery that both testicles have been removed from said foal.4. Any Haflinger stallion being used for breeding purposes in North America that is a temporaryresident in North America or any foreign Haflinger stallion for which frozen semen is beingused for breeding in North America shall be treated as a foreign horse for numbering purposeswhen said Haflinger’s ownership remains with his foreign owner. Each stallion lesseeor agent must comply with the following conditions:A. Copy of the stallion’s foreign pedigree showing six generations (64 animals in sixthgeneration).B. Copy of the agreement between the owner and the North American agent, includingdates of lease.C. Proven evidence that the animal has passed all agricultural authority imposed healthrequirements applicable to the age and sex of the animal at importation.D. Stallion License Application signed by a veterinarian stating that the stallion has beeninspected and found free of cryptorchidism and mouth defects.E. DNA results from the University of Kentucky.F. Submission of proper licensing fee.Upon completion of these items, the stallion will be licensed for breeding. Ownership recordingremains in the name of the foreign owner. The stallion is not given an AHR registrationnumber. In the AHR data base and in recording of offspring, the stallion is identified byhis foreign registration number. Lessee or agent is the accepted signer on Breeding Certificates.(This provision was actually put into effect July, 2001.)5. Application for registration of a foal must be sent to the Registry within the calendar year ofbirth of the foal, postmarked no later then December 31. An animal can still be registeredafter the year of its birth, but there will be penalty in addition to the regular registration feeand the owner will be required to prove parentage by way of DNA verification of foal, sire,and dam, at owner’s expense.III. Other Registries1. Horses imported into North America that have been registered with non-United States ornon-Canadian registries may be registered with AHR only by the importer, subject to thefollowing items submitted and accepted:A. Original (or complete copy) of initial foreign pedigree showing six or moregenerations (64 animals in sixth generation).19

B. Proof of ownership by the person applying for registration.C. Proven evidence that the animal has passed all agricultural authority imposed healthrequirements applicable to the age and sex of the animal at importation.D. An AHR Application for Registration form completed as far as possible per SectionII, 1, above. (Signatures of breeder, first owner and owner of sire will not bepossible. Importer must sign in first owner space.E. The proper registration fee.2. Horses owned by residents of Canada recorded with the Canadian Haflinger Associationcan be transferred to AHR by submitting that original CHA pedigree certificate, showingownership in the name of the applicant, and the payment of the proper registration fee.3. AHR will accept as basis for AHR registry those horses from the Haflinger Breeders Organization(HBO) properly registered and recorded prior to August 17, 2006. Owners of imported horsesregistered solely with HBO are required to provide pedigree information verifying pure breeding(within 1.56% WHF standard). To complete this process an owner must submit the original HBOcertificate, a facial photo and appropriate transfer fees where applicable.4. (Deleted 10-31-06)IV. Transfer of Ownership1 All changes of ownership must be made on the records of AHR. The Registry considersit the obligation of the seller to complete and submit with proper fee payment to AHR theApplication for Transfer of Ownership on every AHR registered Haflinger that is sold. (Inthe case of auction sales, it is expected that the auction management will submit theApplication for Transfer, original Registered Pedigree Certificate, and fee). Regardless ofpublic or private sale, Applications for Transfer are expected to be submitted within 30days of sale. Blank or open signed Applications for Transfer are prohibited except in thecase of auction sales where a seller may submit a signed Application for Transfer toauction management, completed except for the buyer’s name and address.2 A complete Application for Transfer of Ownership must contain:A. Name, registration number, and sex of the horse.B. Date of sale.C. Name, address, phone number, and signature of seller.D. Name, address, and phone number of buyer, exactly as the buyer wishes hisownership to be recorded.E.

DNA Identification of the Haflinger BreedDNA Typing is the form of genetic marker testing currently in use by AHR. A phase-in plan, adopted by theAHR Board on 12/13/2002, was effective January 1, 2003. DNA testing was required in 2003 for the followingHaflinger horses:• All licensed Stallions breeding in 2003• All mares bred in 2003, whether live cover or AI• All AI foals (except geldings) born in 2003 and their damsFor 2004 and beyond, DNA testing is required for the following Haflinger horses:• All Stallions being licensed in 2004 and each year thereafter• All filly foals born in 2004 and thereafter• AI stallion foals, if registered as stallions• All previously unidentified mares bred in 2004 and thereafterHaflingers being presented for Inspection & Classification (I & C) must be DNA tested and a copy of the DNAtest results must be included with their I & C Registration form prior to the inspection. DNA Typing may beperformed at any time on other Haflinger horses, regardless of sex or age, that owners choose to DNAidentify voluntarily.AHR Treasury will subsidize DNA testing costs during the phase in period (2003 and 2004). For these 2years, the costs will be $27 per test for members and $52 per test for non-members. After phase in, costs willbe $35 per test for members and $60 per test for non-members. The following table summarizes the costsfor DNA testing.AHR Member and Non-Member Cost for DNA TestingYear AHR Member Cost Non-Member Cost2003 $27 $522004 $27 $522005 $35 $60To initiate the process, request DNA test forms from the AHR office. AHR office must receive your paymentbefore the forms are sent to you. After receipt of payment, AHR will send a three-part carbonless form foreach sample to be taken. The forms are identified with the AHR logo and each set has a sequence controlnumber. AHR will record the owner name and the form control numbers purchased. Instructions for completingthe forms and procedures for pulling hair samples are included. The forms must be completed to identifythe horse and owner. Provide all the information on the horse and ownership, along with the required signatures.Once the form is completed, pull the hair samples from the horse and tape them as indicated on thetop sheet of the form. Mail the top sheet with the samples to the University of Kentucky (UK) Lab in a regularbusiness-sized envelope. Mail the second copy of the identification form to the AHR office and keep the thirdcopy for your records. When AHR receives the report from the UK Lab, the original will be filed with thehorse’s records and a copy will be mailed to the owner. Owners should keep the DNA report with the originalPedigree. DNA reports must accompany the original Pedigree and transfer form sent to the AHR office uponsale of a horse.1/05 III-B-1

Haflinger Sale Committee InformationBased on current expections, there will be 12 large, organized Registered Haflinger auctions held yearly.These sales represent a needed marketing function and also serve an important promotional role for theHaflinger.Historically, AHR has charged the member fee of $20. for transfers of all horses going through sales, eventhough many consignors are not AHR members. Charging the lower member fee is both a courtesy and aconvenience for all concerned, but it also assumes that all required information will go the the AHR officecompletely and accurately when the sale is over. It is the responsibility for you, as the Sale Sponsor to obtainall the information that is needed before the sale.Since Sale Committee members change from time to time, this is a list of suggestions and guidelines for allSale Committees.1. Separate Sale paperwork from Registry paperwork. Consignment details and comments and buyer slipsare Sale records and should be kept by the Sale Committee. If you are ever asked to provide any kind ofproof of your sale, you will need these records. Do not send them to the AHR office.2. DO NOT STAPLE OR FOLD ORIGINAL REGISTRATION PEDIGREES!This causes difficulties in the office when inserting the pedigree into the printer to record a transfer. Manytimes the pedigree must be completely replaced because it has been folded. Also, please do not write on theplastic covers.3. Use proper forms. Standard AHR forms are always appropriate or if you use a combination form, be surethat all required information is included. These are the forms your sale will be dealing with:a. AHR Registered Pedigree. Be sure that the Pedigree is authentic. Ensure that the person consigningthe horse is the current owner. If not, that person cannot legally sell the horse. The University ofKentucky DNA record should be with the Pedigree when applicable (see below for additional information).When selling breeding stallions, the AHR Stallion License must also accompany the above.b. AHR Transfer for each horse sold. This means that two transfers are needed if a mare is sold witha foal by side. These forms should be completed fully by the seller. If not, all blanks must be filled inLEGIBLY by the Sale Committee. This includes the date of sale; name and registration number of theHaflinger; name, address and signature of the seller; and name and address of the buyer.c. AHR Breeding Certificate for bred mares. This must be complete. Breeding date must include theday, month and year. If the mare is pasture bred, a beginning and ending date should be listed.SIGNATURES of both the owner of the mare at time of breeding and the owner of the stallion arerequired.d. All foals should be registered in advance of the sale. If time does not permit, an AHR Applicationfor Registration must be completed in full. This includes the correct fee, a facial photo and a breedingcertificate, if needed. If the foal is the result of AI with transported semem, DNA parentage proof isrequired. Beginning in 2004, ALL FILLY foals require DNA parentage proof before they can beregistered, regardless of how they were conceived.e. EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1,2004, AHR WILL NOT PROCESS A TRANSFER ON ANY HORSEREQUIRING DNA IDENTIFICATION AND/OR PARENTAGE PROVED UNTIL THIS REQUIREMENTHAS BEEN MET. Identification is required on all mares bred in 2003 and on all licensed stallions.DNA testing and parentage proof is required on all 2004 filly foals and stallion foals that are the resultof AI transported semen. This is the owner’s responsibility—both the cost and submitting the hairsample. Sale Committees should make every effort to see that the owner has done this before thesale. However, if not done previously, the sale committee must ensure that the fee has been collectedfrom the consignor and hair is pulled and properly submitted. AGAIN, THE TRANSFER28

CANNOT BE PROCESSED UNTIL THE REQUIRED DNA PROCEDURE IS COMPLETED.f. AHR Gelding Form. If a gelding is sold and his Registered Pedigree still shows him as a stallion,this form is required from the consignor. It must include the statement that two normal testicles wereremoved and the signature of the person doing the surgery. (AHR does not require that the surgerybe done by a veterinarian).g. If the horse goes through the sale and one buyer is recorded and the horse is then sold a secondtime, outside the sale ring, a second transfer must be submitted. The first buyer at the sale is responsiblefor paying for the second transfer fee. Both transfer fees must be submitted by the SalesCommittee.4. Determine that all fees have been paid on sale horses, especially breeding fees. New owners shouldpurchase a Haflinger that is free from encumbrances.5. All fees must accompany the Pedigrees and Transfers when you send them in. Please include with yourcheck a breakdown of fees similar to the example below. Also along with your check, please include a copy ofyour sale summary showing the buyers of all horses that are sold, the horses “out” and a copy of your salecatalog. This helps the office in verifying proper fees.150 Transfers @ $20.00 each $3,000.002 Foal Applications @ $30.00 (member) $ 60.001 Foal Application @ $60.00 (nonmember) $ 50.002 Second Transfers, Lot 14, Lot 25 @ $20.00 $ 40.002 DNA paid on Lot 75 and foal @ $35.00 $ 70.00Check Number XXXXX dated X/X/XX $3,220.00Things to Remember:AHR does not want to receive your sale records and will not keep them on file. These records are to be keptby the Sale Committee.AHR requests that only AHR forms or forms which have been approved by AHR be used and submitted fromyour sale.All forms must be completed. Just because a person is selling several horses, or a mare and foal, it does notexcuse incomplete information on the forms. If the seller has not completed the information when the consignmentscome in, it is the responsibility of the Sale Committee to do whatever is needed, with or without theconsignor, to have all information complete by the end of the sale and before sending the information to AHR.The Sale Committee is responsible for determining that the horse sold is the horse represented on thePedigree. Facial drawings on the back of the Pedigree need to be checked against the facial markings of thehorse at time of check-in. Notify the owner and the AHR office of any discrepancies.If you are told that an Application for Registration or other required document is “in the office”, check with theAHR office to see that this is correct. If a registration number has not been assigned, it is appropriate to statethat the number is “pending”.All AHR forms and fee schedules are available from the AHR office. If you already have the necessary formsand need additional ones, copies can be made.It is the goal of the AHR office staff to complete your sale transfers as rapidly and flawlessly as possible andthey will be happy to work with your Sales Committee to make this happen. If you have any questions orneed forms or additional information, please contact the registry office.29

Haflinger HistoryThe Haflinger is truly America’s family horse. The beauty and charm of the Haflinger have beenknown to steal a part of your heart forever. The breed origin can be traced to medieval timeswhen writings told of an Oriental breed of horse found in the Southern Tyrolian mountains ofpresent day Austria and northern Italy. Many of the villages and farms in the Tyrol wereaccessible only by narrow paths requiring agile and surefooted horses for transportation andpacking. Artwork from the region in the early 1800’s depicts a noble chestnut horse with ridersand packs traversing steep mountain trails.The first official documentation of the present day Haflinger (named for the Tyrolean village ofHafling) was in 1874 when the foundation stallion 249 Folie was born of the half-Arab stallion 133El’ Bedavi XXII crossed with a refined native Tyrolean mare. All modern purebred Haflingers musttrace their ancestry directly to Folie through seven different stallion lines: A, B, M, N, S, ST, and W.During the years of World War II, there was a significant shift in breeding practices because themilitary needed a packhorse that was shorter and stockier. Postwar, the height and refinement of thebreed have returned, with an emphasis on developing a small horse that is versatile for both ridingand driving. Characteristics observed are a strong constitution, a solid conformation with substantialbone, and an uncomplicated personality.The specialty of the Haflinger lies, of course, in its unique golden chestnut coloring with the longflowing white mane and tail. But more unique is the people-loving, willing and forgiving temperamentthat was established over centuries of living alongside and working with the mountain peasants,serving all purposes for all family members. Haflingers very simply became part of the family.The modern Haflinger is now found all over the world, active in such varied disciplines as dressage,jumping, vaulting, packing, pleasure driving, CDE, western, trail riding, CTE, endurance riding,draft work, and therapeutic riding programs. Haflingers hold their own in competition with otherbreeds, often showing surprising athleticism and strength for their size.The Haflinger continues to capture hearts and enrich lives as it has for over two centuries. The horseloving public who desires an equine companion that is safe, versatile, dependable, and beautiful havediscovered the Haflinger. Intelligence, character, willingness, grace, stamina, athleticism, and a longlife make the Haflinger a wise choice for everyone.1/05 IV-A-141

Breeding Objectives for the American Haflinger RegistryThis document shall serve as the breed standard for Haflinger horses registered with theAmerican Haflinger Registry, and is to be used as reference for all Haflinger breed classes atshows and at breed inspections(Revised August 17, 2005)BREED:ORIGIN:DESCENT:EXTERNAL APPEARANCE:Color:Haflinger HorsesThe Haflinger breed was founded on the indigenous small horses of the TyroleanMountains’ oriental half-blood 133 El‘Bedavi XXII (1868) with the stallion 249 FolieAfter the stallion Folie, crossing with a horse from another breed is not permittedeither on the side of the stallion or the mare. Pure breeding is the primary guidelinefor the breeding objectives of the American Haflinger Registry.Color may range pale chestnut to dark liver chestnut with pale mane and tail. Color impurities inthe base color, as in roaning, black spots etc. are undesirable and excessive deviations will bejudged as negative and strongly discouraged for breeding animals. Color impurities in the maneand tail are undesirable and excessive deviation from white or flaxen will be judged as negativeand strongly discouraged for breeding animals.Markings:Size:Type:Body structure:Head markings are desirable, but not a prerequisite, too many markings are undesirable and cango as far as being strongly discouraged. Leg markings are not desirable: One white leg will notbe penalized, two white legs will result in a one point deduction, three white legs will result in atwo point deduction, and horses with four white legs or white above the knees or hocks will bestrongly discouraged from breeding. A white leg is a white sock that extends above the fetlockjoint. White markings are signified by a change in skin pigment.The desired size is from 54 in. to 60 in. Non-achievement of the minimum size should result in thehorse being strongly discouraged from breeding. The maximum size may be exceeded in thecase of an excellent or outstanding exterior evaluation.A desirable appearance of the horse is one of elegance and harmony. To this belongs a lean andexpressive head with large eyes, well formed neck and supple mid-section, a good croup not toodivided and not too short, a distinct musculature as well as correct, defined limbs with goodjoints. Stallions and mares for breeding should have clearly defined masculine or femininefeatures.Undesirable is in particular a stout, plump non athletic appearance, a coarse head, unclearcontours, undefined joints, and coarse limbs as well as a lack of defined masculine or femininefeatures.A harmonious body structure that is suitable for all-round pleasure horse.It should have the following qualities:1. The head should be noble and lean, the size in harmony with the horse, with large forwardpointing eyes and wide nostrils. The head should have enough poll freedom to allow forcorrect flexion, a clean connection of the head to neck through the jowl area and correctpositioning of the ears.2. The neck should be medium long and slimmer towards the head, with no bulky lower line,not too wide and demonstrate good freedom of the lower jaw muscles.3. A pronounced withers reaching well into the back, large diagonally lying shoulders andsufficient depth of chest are the most striking distinguishing features of the forehand.4. The back should be medium long and muscular as well as displaying swinging, load bearingcapacity and balance in its movement.5. The hindquarters should have a long, slightly sloping but not too steep with a not tooobviously divided well-muscled croup. The tail should not be set too low.42

6. All in all a harmonious distribution of the forehand, mid-section and hindquarters is to beaimed for.7. Front and hind limbs are extremely important and should have correct conformation andclearly pronounced joints, with a broad and flat knee-joint and a broad strong hock. A fullrange of bone measurements proportionate to height shall be considered, with specialattention to the quality of the cannon bone, as indicated by an oval shape, clean connectionto both the fetlock and pastern joints, and clear definition of the tendons and ligaments.Seen from the front and from behind limbs should show straight conformation, seenfrom the side a straight standing foreleg and hind leg angled at approximately 150° at thehock as well as a hoof angle of approximately 45° to 55° to the ground are desirable. Thepasterns should be moderately long and well developed. The hooves should be round,distinct and hard.8. The stride should be correct, supple and of a pure rhythm without serious faults.9. The horse should have as good as possible long-reaching swinging stride at its disposalwith an elastic and not too flat gait, showing good impulsion from behind.10. In particular an excellent character without vices and an even temperament.Not Desirable is:1. A lack of harmony in the body structure and a lack of features defining masculinity orfemininity.2. A head that is coarse or too big, a Roman nose or even a too wide or too small head areundesirable. In compliance with AHR licensing requirements, faults of the mouth such asparrot or monkey mouths will exclude stallions from being licensed. These faults in maresare strongly discouraged.3. In particular a short, heavy or deep-set neck structure.4. A small, steep shoulder, a short or less pronounced withers, or too little depth of chest.5. A back that is too short or overlong, or soft or too stiff. The loin coupling is of greatimportance: The longer the distance from the withers to the coupling, and/or the longer thedistance from the last rib to the point of hip, the weaker the back. A high “waist” as well asnarrowness from left to right sides over the loin coupling also indicates weakness. Structuralstrain or breakdown is indicated by lumpiness in this area..6. A short or straight croup with a high set tail or a too broad and strongly divided croup.7. Incorrect limbs such as the following: small, slim or restricted joints, too weak or too massivecannon bones and short, steep or too long or too soft pasterns as well as small or toosteep hooves, in particular with inwards or outwards directed frog as well as the followingconformations; pigeon toed, splay footed or knock-kneed or bow-legged front legs, narrowor wide at the hocks. Further undesirable are calf knees or bench knees, steep or sicklehocked,cow-hocked or bandy-legged limb conformations.Movements: The basic gaits: Desirable are hard-working rhythmic and swinging basic gaits (Walk 4-time,trot 2-time, canter 3-time). The movements at a walk should be relaxed energetic and elevated.The movements at the trot and gallop should be supple, swinging, light on the feet with anoticeable swinging phase and with a natural suspension. The clear thrust of the foot from anactive working hindquarter should be transferred over a loosely swinging back to the anticipatingforehand moving freely from the shoulder. Some knee action is desirable. In particular thecanter should demonstrate a clear forwards and upwards springing sequence.Undesirable are especially short, flat and non supple movements with a stiffly held back, heavymovements falling on the forehand or movements without rhythm as well as, pigeon-toed,traveling wide, splay-footed movements, interference, brushing or rope-walking.INTERNAL CHARACTERISTICS/HEALTH:Desirable is a horse with a strong character, a good-natured, strong, all-round, eager and able to perform,an easy feeder, resistant, easy to acclimatize, that is useful for all purposes. In particular this is valid forriding, driving and vaulting in the pleasure and sport sector, but also as a working horse for pulling andcarrying.43

Breeding Horse Classification:For recognition of the predisposition for performance the following features will beexamined:1. Character and temperament as observed by the judges during the inspectionand measurement process.2. Conformation, shown standing in hand.3. Basic gaits (walk and trot) shown on the triangle4. Free schooling, including canter or gallopThe Classification of breeding horses aged 6 or over are final decisions, the judgments will not be revised up or downafterwards, however; an owner is entitled to one appeal and the opportunity to re-present the horse one time only at a laterinspection under different judges. The decision at the second inspection will be final.The measurements for entry in classification records are typically taken at 3 years. These measurementscorrespond to the minimum and maximum sizes laid down in the breeding objectives. Failure to attain theminimum height at 3 years means the animal will be strongly discouraged from breeding.44

World Haflinger FederationThe World Haflinger Federation was founded in 1976 by Otto Schweisgut. The WHF has written statutes(ByLaws) that go back to its founding, and have been only slightly modified since the beginning.From the Statutes:Aims and ObjectivesThe Federation aims to form and maintain a union of Haflinger breeding organizations for the promotion,improvement, and distribution of the Breed. The achievement of these aims will be attempted by:• Breeding the Haflinger around the world as a purebred all-purpose horse.• Setting the distinguishing breed features that are fundamental for the breeding of the Haflinger horse,and from which it is not permissible to deviate.• Setting up common rules for registration and regulations for breeding.• Collaboration among the breeder organizations.• Information• International measures for promotion.Quoting the President in recent years – “The WHF is primarily a forum for discussion and collaboration, notan authoritative administrator of rules”While the statues state that there shall be only one representative per country, there have been and arecertain exceptions. Since 1998, meetings of the members have been held annually. The WHF met in the USAin 1988, and again in 1997.The organization consists of a President, elected every six years, and four Vice Presidents, elected every fouryears, along with a General Secretary. Headquarters is at the Fohlenhof in Ebbs, Austria. Administrativeservices are provided free of charge by the Tirolean Breeders Cooperative.Otto Schweisgut was elected the first President in 1976, and served continuously until 2000, when he retireddue to failing health. Hannes Schweisgut was elected President in 2000.All members pay annual dues as follows:• Annual Fee 145 Euros• 0.36 Euros per breeding stallion• 0.07 Euros per breeding mareBecause of our large number of horses, The American Haflinger Registry currently pays the highest dues inthe WHF.Probably the major impact of WHF is the maintenance of the written “Breeding Objectives for the Haflinger”,which are recognized world-wide. “Pure Breeding” is the primary guideline. Since 1999, this has been definedas containing not more than 1.56% outside blood. This means that on a true six generation pedigree, wherethe sixth generation shows 64 ancestors, only ONE may be a non-Haflinger.As of 2004, there are 22 member organizations in WHF, representing 18 countries. All major Haflingercountries are members with the exception of Germany.45

AHR’s Relationship to the WHF:The Haflinger Association of America, with its founding in 1976, was also recognized as a founding member ofWHF. The Haflinger Registry of North America, established in 1983, was voted into the WHF membership in1986. With the unification of these two registries in 1998 into The American Haflinger Registry, AHR applied forand was voted into membership in July, 1998.AHR has been represented at every WHF meeting since 1999 by one or more persons. Statutes permit up tothree official delegates per membership. Others may attend as guests with specific written permission.Meetings have traditionally been conducted in German, the “official” language of the WHF, with instant headphone translation to English. Also, historically, all written communication has been only in German. It wasannounced at the 2004 meeting that from now on, all written materials will be in both German and English.The World Federation Committee of AHR is one of the standing committees specified in our ByLaws. It is theresponsibility of that Chair to keep the Board of Directors and the Members informed of WHF activities, and torepresent AHR at WHF meetings.Should any member have questions or comments regarding the WHF, they are urged to contact the Chair of theWorld Federation Committee.46

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE AMERCIAN HAFLINGER REGISTRY VOLUNTARY INSPECTION ANDCLASSIFICATION PROGRAM:(Revised August 17, 2005)I. ELIGIBILITY:Open to all purebred Haflinger mares, stallions and geldings registered in the American HaflingerRegistry, and to Haflingers registered with the Canadian Haflinger Association that are owned by Canadianresidents. All horses must be owned by members of the American Haflinger Registry.A) Official Inspection and ClassificationOpen to all Haflingers age two or over.B) Informal EvaluationWeanlings and yearlings may be informally evaluated at a reduced fee by the three judges strictly to providethe owner with information via a written evaluation record. The informal evaluation scorecard will differ fromthe official scorecard in that each section will be marked as “very good”, “good” or “needs monitoring throughmaturity”, rather than actual point values. In addition, at the conclusion of each evaluation, the owner willreceive the judges’ written and verbal commentary.C) ApplicationsOnly horses with correctly completed paperwork, including application form, copy of pedigree (front and backif necessary to show current owner), copy of DNA results, and full payment shall be eligible to be inspected.Stallions under the age of two years are exempt from providing DNA results, unless required by AHRregistration rules.II: CRITERIA:A) For horses presented for Official Inspection and Classification, the 100-point system (see attached scorecard)will be used in conjunction with the published breeding objectives of the World Haflinger Federation and theAmerican Haflinger Registry.B) Horses presented for Official Inspection and Classification will be measured for height, girth and bone.III: JUDGING:Horses will be judged standing, walking on a small triangle, and trotting on the large triangle. In addition, they willbe free-schooled at trot and canter. Informal evaluation will not include a free-school.IV: JUDGES AND OFFICIALS:A) A panel of three judges will preside at each inspection and classification.B) A minimum of one of the three judges must be of International stature.C) The American Haflinger Registry must approve all three judges.D) A judge may not preside at the classification of a horse that was bred by, owned by, sold by or handled asagent by him/her or members of his/her immediate family.E) The judges will be responsible for verifying soundness as well as the absence of any genetic defects.F) A representative of the registry will be present to examine pedigrees and to take a DNA sample to confirmidentity.V: SCORING FOR OFFICIAL INSPECTION AND CLASSIFICATION:A) Horses will be given a mark out of 10 possible points for each of the following categories:1. Type 6. Hindquarters2. Head 7. Front Legs3. Neck 8. Hind Legs4. Forehand 9. Correctness of Movement5. Mid-Section 10. Overall Movement47

B) Individual marks shall reflect the following descriptions:10 = Excellent9. = Very Good8. = Good7. = Sufficient6. = Not sufficient5. = PoorC) Each judge must mark his own worksheet with what he believes to be the correct mark. The final mark,however, will be the consensus of the three judges opinions following discussion. Each judge isinstructed to include explicit written commentary on his or her worksheet which will betransferred onto the final official scorecard by the scribe, at the conclusion of the judging of eachhorse. All judges must sign the final official copy of the combined scorecard.D) Overall scores will reflect the following descriptions:Score: Description: Ribbon Color:81 points or above = Excellent Gold75 to 80 points = Very good Silver71 to 74 points = Good Purple*69 to 70 points = Sufficient White*stallions scoring 74 points or less will not be recommended for breeding*mares scoring 68 points or less will not be recommended for breedingVI:VII:AWARDS AND RECORDS:A) Each inspected horse will receive a certificate of inspection, including the horse’s name, total score,measurements and the names of the judges presiding.B) The complete inspection scorecard, including all judges’ comments and marks in each category, will be keptin that horse’s permanent inspection record at the AHR Office, and copy of same released tothe owner. See section IX, A, B for policy on re-inspection.C) At the end of each horse’s inspection, the owner will be informed of his horse’s score. At this time, thejudges will communicate verbally to the owner the ten scores on each of the ten sections and givecomments. This is an educational step for the owner’s benefit. The judges’ decisions are final, and noarguing or questioning any decision will be tolerated. Limited questions from the owner will bepermitted only for the sake of clarification. In the interest of time, no two-way discussion will bepermitted.D) When the judges’ critique is finished, the owner will be awarded the appropriate ribbon. It is desiredthat all scores be announced, however, the owner may decide to have his or her horse’s scoreannounced or unannounced. If the score not announced, the owner agrees it can be published anonymously,in order to maintain complete Inspection records. Horses scoring 75 points or better will beencouraged to return to the arena at the termination of each inspection for the final parade and line-upaccording to score.E) The actual score of any inspected horse will remain the property of the horse’s owner for as long as he/sheowns the horse, and may only be published anonymously with AHR inspection results unless otherwiseinstructed by the written consent of the owner.F) If an inspected horse is sold, the new owner is entitled, by request to the AHR office, to a copy of the horse’sinspection scorecard.IDENTIFICATION:A) A copy of the front and back of the pedigree, showing current owner and original breeder, must be submittedwith the registration form. This is for the purpose of identification and verification of registry with AHRby a registry official only. Judges are not permitted to see any pedigrees prior to inspection of horses. Acopy of the DNA results is mandatory for all horses, including those to be presented for informal evaluation.Stallions under the age of two years are exempt from providing DNA results, unless required by AHRregistration rules.48

No blue jeans permitted. No identification of the farm,owner, trainer or horse should be indicated on the handler’s clothing or the horse’s equipment.RE-INSPECTION:A) TWO TO FIVE YEAR OLDS: Due to potential differences in rate of maturity, all horses aged twothrough five years old may be re-submitted for re-inspection multiple times, at any time up to and including duringhis/her five year old year. At age 6 and over, as a mature horse, the horse is eligible for re-inspection ONCE ONLYthrough the appeals process. For all re-inspection, the owner must fill out a standard application form, and the fullcurrent fee will apply. The score and scorecard including comments at all re-inspections will be added to allprevious records in the horse’s permanent file.B) APPEALS: The judge’s score on all mature horses is final, and automatically entered into thehorse’s inspection record. An owner will be permitted to appeal the judge’s decision on a mature horse age 6 orover ONCE ONLY. The appeal must be made in writing to the inspection committee. If the appeal is accepted, theowner must pay the appropriate current inspection fee, and the horse may be re-inspected ONCE ONLY at aninspection where at least one of the judges was not present at the horse’s original inspection. In the case of reinspection,the score and scorecard including comments will be added to all previous records in the horse’spermanent file. Scorecards that document a re-inspection due to an appeal will be designated as such afterinspection and before entering a horse’s permanent file.THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS SHALL SERVE TO RECOGNIZE THE ABILITY OF STALLIONS TO REPRODUCE, ASWELL AS TO IDENTIFY AND REWARD EXCEPTIONAL FAMILY LINES OF BOTH STALLIONS AND MARES.X: STALLION “PROVEN” STATUS:A) General:1. An additional mark for offspring will be given to stallions that are presented for the “Proven” statuswith offspring.2. Two scores (classification & offspring) are required to complete a stallion’s classification record:Inspected and Proven.3. Stallions without the second score for offspring will be considered Unproven.B) Requirements:1. To obtain the Proven status for stallions, stallions age 6 or over will be required to present a minimum of10% of their offspring of any age for examination to determine the stallion’s ability to produce qualityoffspring.2. A minimum of three to a maximum of twelve horses is required. More horses than the required number maybe presented at the owner’s request. If you are unsure of the number of horses required for presentationwith your stallion, contact the AHR office to obtain a listing of registered offspring.3. The offspring presented must represent a minimum of three different mares.4. Stallions age 3, 4 and 5 years may be presented for classification without offspring, but may return at orafter the age of 6 with the appropriate number of offspring in order to complete their classification record.C) Scoring of Offspring1. Each of the offspring presented will be examined standing, walking and trotting.2. Marks will be given based on the overall impression of the group as a whole.3. A score from 1 to 10 will be given in each of 4 categories, and converted to a percentage of totalpossible marks. The four categories are:49

a) Type (as per breed standards)b) General Conformationc) Movementd) Genetic Potency: Ability of stallion to pass on positive traits4.

AHR Breed Inspection and Classification ProgramThis inspection and classification of breeding stock is an important part of both breed improvement and breedrecords. The AHR program was developed to offer the inspection and classification of Haflingers in NorthAmerica at the owner’s request. It is not a mandatory step in the registration process, as is the custom inEurope and in many other breeds here in North America, however is an important tool available to all breedersand owners.Horses of all ages may be presented for breed inspection and classification. The inspection team consists ofthree Haflinger experts, at least one of which is a judge of international stature, and at least one must be aSenior AHR “C” Card judge. The team grades the horse according to the Breeding Objectives of the AmericanHaflinger Registry, which were developed in accordance with the Breeding Objectives of the WorldHaflinger Federation. Horses age two and older are given a score of one to ten in each of ten categories:Type, Head, Neck, Forehand, Midsection, Hindquarters, Front Legs, Hind legs, Correctness of Movement andOverallMovement. Young horses, i.e. weanlings and yearlings, are informally evaluated by the team in the first nineof the above ten categories, and are scored “Very Good”, “Good” or “Needs Monitoring Through Maturity” ineach of the nine sections. Mature horses (2 and over) are awarded ribbons according to their scores: A Goldribbon is awarded to horses scoring 81 points or above (this is very rare, only 1-2% of Haflingers achieve the“Gold” status), a Silver ribbon is awarded to horses scoring 75-80 points, a purple ribbon is given to horsesscoring71-74 points and a white ribbon is given to horses scoring 69 or 70 points. Mares scoring 68 points or lessare not recommended for breeding. Stallions scoring 74 points or less are not recommended for breeding.Inspected stallions and mares are also awarded certain distinct honors based on the scores of their offspring,as the offspring mature and are inspected. Stallions may achieve the “Proven” status by presenting a crosssection of their offspring for evaluation. In addition, Stallions and Mares are awarded the “ Star”, “Elite” or“Supreme” status through the scoring of their offspring at inspections.At the end of each inspection, the owner is provided with a copy of the score sheet, complete with the judges’commentary, which will aid in choosing the right breeding match up for that particular horse. Through therecords produced by the inspection and classification of breeding stock, breeders have access to informationthat aids in good decision making for future breeding. Undesirable traits as well as desirable traits may beidentified and tracked. Traits thrown by certain stallions, mares or bloodlines are also recorded.Breed Inspection and Classification is offered once a year through the AHR, usually in the late summer orearly fall. Registration forms are available through the AHR office and are published late spring in the AHRmagazine.1/05 V-B-152

INVITATION TO AHR INSPECTION & CLASSIFICATIONFor those of us who love horses, they are all pretty. Some are just prettier than others. Why? Becausethey are balanced, have correct confirmation and are breathtaking to watch when they move.Haflingers originate from Europe, specifically Austria. Europe and Austria are well known for consistentlybreeding excellent horses. How do they do it? Almost all breeds of horses in Europe areinspected and classified, including Haflingers. Only those stallions and mares, which meet or exceeda strict “standard” are entered in the studbooks and allowed to breed.How does the process work? Three specially trained, qualified Haflinger judges will carefully examineeach horse. The horse is evaluated against the Breed Standard, as prescribed by the Breeding Objectivesof the American Haflinger Registry.TO JUDGE THE BODY AND LEGS – The handler will stand the horse in front of the 3 judges, so theycan judge the horse’s type, head, neck, forehand, mid-section, hindquarters and legs.TO JUDGE WALK AND LEGS - The handler will be asked to walk the horse on a 15 meter triangle, tojudge legs, correctness of movement, and extension at the walk. The handler will first walk away fromthe judges, then along the far, backside of the triangle, opposite the judges, then back toward thejudges, standing at the apex of the triangle.TO JUDGE LEGS AND TROT - Next, the handler will be asked to trot the horse on a 30 meter triangle,so the judges can see legs, correctness of movement, and extension at the trot. First, away from thejudges, then along the far, backside of the triangle, opposite the judges, then back toward the judges,standing at the apex of the triangle.TO JUDGE OVERALL MOVEMENT – Finally, the horse will be allowed to “run free” in the arena, toallow the judges to see it’s movement, unencumbered by handler, halter or lead rope. The judges arespecifically looking for how the horse expresses itself in trot and canter.FOR MORE INFORMATION and WRITTEN MATERIALS, CONTACT:the AHR office at 330-784-0000 or ahaflinger@sbcglobal.netJudges viewpoint10-15 meter smalltriangle20–30 meters total lengthlarge triangle53

II.RIDDEN DRESSAGEA. GENERAL: The object of Dressage is the harmonious development of the physique and ability of the horse. As aresult it makes the horse calm, supple, loose and flexible but also confident, attentive and keen, thus achievingperfect understanding with his rider.These qualities are revealed by:1. The freedom and regularity of the paces.2. The harmony, lightness and ease of the movements.3. The lightness of the forehand and engagement of the hindquarters, originating in a lively impulsion.4. The acceptance of the bridle with submissiveness throughout and without any tenseness or resistance.The horse thus gives the impression of doing on his own accord what is required of him. Confident and attentive,he submits generously to the control of his handler, remaining absolutely straight in any movement on a straightline and bending accordingly when moved on a curved line. His walk is regular, free and unrestricted. His trot isfree, supple, regular, sustained and active. His canter is united, light and cadenced. His quarters are neverinactive or sluggish. They respond to the slightest indication of the rider that gives life and spirit to the rest of hisbody.B. ATTIRE.1. Short riding coat of conservative color, with tie, choker or stock tie, breeches or jodpurs, boots or jodpurboots. Half chaps or leggings are not allowed. Gloves of conservative color are recommended. Wearinga hardhat or appropriate dressage headgear is compulsory for anyone riding a Haflinger on the flat. AHRstrongly encourages all competitors to wear protective headgear meeting or surpassing current AmericanSociety of Testing & Materials (ASTM) Standards. Spurs are optional.2. In extreme heat and/or humidity, the Ground Jury has the option to allow competitors to competewithout jackets. In such cases, competitors must wear either a long or short sleeved shirt of conservativecolor without neckwear.3. As per Training through First Level requirements: Snaffle bridle with plain, crossed, flash or droppednoseband. No twisted, wire or roller bits permitted. Martingales, bit guards, any kind of gadgets, bootsor bandages not permitted. One whip no longer than 43.3 inches (110 cm) including lash permitted.4. Spurs capable of wounding a horse are forbidden. Spurs must be of smooth metal. There must be ashank pointing only towards the rear, which must be no more than 3.5 cm (1 3/8 inches) long andwithout rowels. The end must be blunt in order to prevent wounding a horse. If the shank is curved, thespurs must be worn only with the shank directed downwards.C. DESCRIPTION OF GAITS:1. Walk: Four even beats, straight and even strides, correctly aligned steps, articulation of joints, freedomof shoulders and haunches, balance, elastic and swinging back, overstep, reach, ground-covering withmarching quality.2. Trot: Two even beats, straight and even strides, correctly aligned steps, articulation of joints, freedomof shoulders and haunches, balance, elastic and swinging back, natural engagement and impulsion fromhindquarters, suspension, power from upward thrust and roundness.3.

5. Conformation: The quality and correctness of type, head, neck, forehand, midsection, hindquarters,front legs and hind legs. Predisposition to unsoundness, limitation in quality of movement caused byweakness or conformation faults, potential for trainability and performance. Emphasis on function, notfashion. Blemishes are not to count unless resulting from conformation faults. Good harmoniousconformation suitable for dressage performance.D. EXERCISE AREASThe following restrictions begin with the first day of dressage and continue throughout the duration. Thefollowing are compulsory: an English type saddle and any form of bridle, including double bridle, snaffle orhackamores. Running martingales, Irish martingales, bit guards, boots, bandages, fly shields, nose covers, andseat covers are permitted. Side reins are permitted only while lunging an unmounted horse. Other martingales,any form of gadget (such as bearing, running or balancing reins, etc.) and any form of blinkers are forbidden,under penalty of disqualification.E. DRESSAGE TEST1. Tack: The following are compulsory: an English type saddle and a permitted bridle. A double bridlewith cavesson noseband, i.e. bit and bridoon with curb chain is permitted for some tests. A lipstrap andrubber or leather cover for the curb chain are optional. The lever arm for the curb bit must not exceed 8cm (3 1/8 inches) in length. A snaffle made of metal, leather, rubber, or plastic material is permitted forall tests. The bridle may have a cavesson noseband, dropped noseband, crossed noseband or flashnoseband. The noseband must be made entirely of leather or leather like material, except for a smalldisc of sheepskin, which may be used in the intersection of the two leather straps of a crossed noseband.A breast plate may be used. For drawings of permitted bits and nosebands, see Appendix A. Anordinary snaffle is a plain snaffle with a straight bar or joint in the center. If a snaffle has two joints, allparts must be rounded and smooth.2. INSPECTION OF EQUIPMENTA steward should be appointed to check the saddlery of each horse before it enters the arena orstarts a test.In the Dressage Test, the checking of the bridle must be done with the greatest caution. If the competitorso requests, the bridle and bit may be checked immediately after the test has been completed. However, shouldthe bridle or bit in such a case be found not to be permitted, the competitor shall be eliminated.3. JUDGINGIn all dressage classes, any circumstances not specifically covered by these rules, the USEFRulebook, Dressage Division shall serve as the reference for all other rules and requirements not covered in theAHR Handbook.A competitor failing to enter the arena within 60 seconds of the starting signal will be eliminated, at thediscretion of the Ground Jury. The same applies to a competitor who enters the arena before the starting signalhas been given.A test begins with the entry at A and ends after the salute at the end of the test, as soon as thehorse moves forward. Any incidents before the beginning, or after the end of the test have no effect on the marks.Competitors must take the reins in one hand at the salute. Gentlemen are not required to remove theirhats at the salute.When a movement must be carried out at a certain point of the arena, it should be done when thecompetitor’s body is above the point.The use of the voice in any way whatsoever or clicking of the tongue once or repeatedly is a serious faultinvolving the deduction of at least two marks from those that would otherwise have been awarded for themovement where this occurred.7/08 VI-A-1773

In case of marked lameness, the judge at C, after consultation with the other judge(s) ifappropriate, will inform the competitor that he is eliminated. There is no appeal against this decision.A horse leaving the arena completely, with all four feet, between the time of entry and the final salute,will be eliminated.Any resistance that prevents the continuation of the test for more than 20 seconds will bepunished by elimination.When a competitor makes an “error of course” (takes the wrong turn, omits a movement, etc.) thejudge at C warns him by sounding a bell/whistle. The judge shows him, if necessary, the point at which he musttake up the test again and the next movement to be executed, then leaves him tocontinue by himself. However, insome cases when, although the rider makes an “error of course,” the sounding of the bell/whistle would unnecessarilyimpede the fluency of the performance (for instance if the competitor makes a transition at V instead of K),it is up to the judge at C to decide whether to sound the bell/whistle or not. However, if the bell/whistle isnot sounded at an error of test in which the movement is repeated and the error occurs again, only one erroris recorded.When a competitor makes an “error of the test” (trots rising instead of sitting, does not take the reins inone hand at the salute, etc.), he must be penalized as for an “error of course.”In principle, a competitor is not allowed to repeat a movement of the test unless the judge at C decideson an error of course and sounds the bell/whistle. If the competitor has started the execution of a movement andtries to do the same movement again, the judge(s) must consider the first movement shown only and at the sametime penalize for an error of course.If there is more than one judge, unless all judges are in agreement on an error, the competitor receivesthe benefit of the doubt.Any outside intervention by voice, signs, etc., is considered unauthorized assistance. A competitorreceiving unauthorized assistance will be eliminated, at the discretion of the Ground Jury.When there are two or more judges, one horse and rider, taking no part in the competition, will performthe prescribed ride in order that the judges may confer before the competition begins.F.

Frequently Asked QuestionsQ- I just got the pedigree on the horse I bought but my name isn’t on it. How do I get my nameon the pedigree as owner?A- The original owner and breeder will always remain on the front of the pedigree. Turn thepedigree over. Transfer history is recorded there with the most current owner listed last.Q- Do I have until my horse is one year old to register him?A- No – Horses must be registered in the calendar year of their birth – no later than December31 st of their birth year.Q- Must I DNA test my stud colt if he is gelded prior to registration?A- No – not unless he is the result of AI using frozen semen or he is not registered prior toDecember 31 st of his birth year.Q- Isn’t this DNA testing requirement just another way for the AHR to make money off itsmembers?A- No – and in fact, for the first two years the testing was done at the same cost as the Universityof Kentucky charged the AHR. AHR absorbed the cost of printing the forms, mailing theforms and then mailing the results to the horse owner. DNA testing is intended to keep thestudbook pure.Q- How does DNA testing keep the studbook pure?A- Parentage proof of foals has caught a few rare cases of human error such as the wrong sire ordam name being written on the application for registration. It also catches those sneaky foalsthat live in a herd and that swap dams with another foal born on the same day to a differentmare just to fool their unsuspecting owners. It also confirms when the 2-year old stud coltjumps the fence and “visits” the mares in the next pasture. In most cases, parentage qualifieson the first test.Q- On the DNA form, there are check boxes for “Original Identification” and “Parentage Proof”.Which box should I check?A- The check box for original identification should be marked for horses that are already registeredand DNA testing is being done in order to establish a baseline to compare any futureoffspring. Parentage proof should be marked for all foals or overage horses that requireparentage proof in order to be registered.Q- I’m considering buying a registered yearling colt as a stallion prospect. Should I have himDNA tested?A- DNA testing would not be an AHR requirement for transfer, however, beginning with allcolts born in 2004, parentage proof DNA testing will be required when the stallion licenseapplication is submitted. It may be beneficial to DNA test so that any discrepancy in theresults can be resolved now rather than when the colt is 2 years old.107
