Foals | inspection & registration

To register a BWP foal, it must be sired by a BWP approved stallion and out of a dam that has been entered into either the main or the auxiliary studbook of BWP. With the advent of the European Union, it has recently become possible to register foals that are by outside approved stallions, and out of dams that have been entered into either the main or auxiliary studbook of BWP. These stallions must be approved for breeding by the BWP and from a BWP recognized Studbook. The stallion must be over 6 years old, and have already completed their performance requirements at the time of breeding. These requirements, DNA typing, and the payment of an additional registration fee will allow the resulting foals to be registered into one of the foal books of the BWP.

The owner of the foal must submit an application to the BWP/NAD to present the foal at a Keuring. The owner must be a member in good standing with the BWP/NAD and the dam and sire must meet the above requirements. Foals must be presented to and inspected by the Keuring jury in order to be registered and branded (contact Registrar to inquire if your foal is eligible to be registered without inspection). Foals should be presented in their birth year in order to receive the Belgian brand, however, under special circumstances they may be presented as yearlings or twoyear olds. Foals that score an 80 or above, out of a BWP approved mare, are given “Elite” predicate. Foals that score a 75-79, out of a BWP approved mare, are given “First Premium” predicate. Foals that score a 70-74, out of a BWP approved mare, are given “Premium” predicate. The Belgian jury and BWP/NAD Studbook Committee may request veterinary reports from owners prior to registration. The Belgian jury and BWP/NAD have the right to with hold or deny breed registration of foals deemed unfit or inadequate for breeding until sufficient veterinary documentation is produced from a reputable veterinary teaching hospital with a diagnosis for any condition that the foal may possess that states that the foal’s condition is not the result of a hereditary genetic defect (i.e. condition caused by injury). At three years of age (or older) fillies and prospective young stallions can be presented for inspection as breeding stock. At that time, fillies are entered into the same studbook as their dams. Four generations are required to move from the auxiliary studbook to the main studbook. Colts must meet the requirements described in the stallion section of the guidelines, and must be from the main foal book.

USEF LIFETIME RECORDING OF FOALS

In 2007, the BWP/NAD began recording all accepted foals with the United Stated Equestrian Federation. All foals will receive a USEF lifetime recording number, which makes the foals eligible for participation in any USEF recognized competition and Horse of the Year Programs.

The fee for this registration is incorporated as part of the Foal Inspection fee. The USEF recording certificates will be mailed directly to the owner of record by USEF. Horses registered as yearlings or two-year olds will not be eligible to receive this lifetime recording through the BWP/NAD registry.

BLOOD TYPING - DNA

(Parentage Verification) The Belgian registry require blood typing or DNA testing on all foals, mares and stallions. This testing will be done through

the BWP/NAD at the expense of the owner of said horse. Parentage verification is required if special arrangements have been made for the registration of yearlings, or for the registration of foals by outside stallions. All parentage verification is done at the expense of the owner and tested through UC Davis. DNA markers and reports are the sole property of BWP/NAD.

MICROCHIPPING OF FOALS

Beginning in 2017, all BWP/NAD Foals, Yearlings and 2YO’s must submit microchip documentation with registration. Microchips must be 15 digit codes (preferably beginning with the U.S. country code 840) ISO compliant 11784/11785 and implanted in the nuchal ligament.

NAMING BWP FOALS

All foals born within one calendar year are named with the same letter of the alphabet. The chart below indicates the letters corresponding to the correct years. Once a foal is named the name cannot be changed on the passport. This is also true for mares (ex. Thoroughbreds) who are registered with BWP. The name that is on the original Jockey Club papers will be the name with which the mare is registered with the BWP.
