I want to present a Mare for inclusion into the one of the Belgian Studbooks, what is the criterion?
There are two studbooks for mares approved for breeding by the BWP. The main studbook is for selected registered mares of a recognized sport horse breed, including most other European Warmbloods, Thoroughbreds, Arabs, and some other non-gaited breeds acknowledged by the Belgian Verband. The auxiliary stud book is for other select mares of unrecognized breeds or of unverifiable pedigree. All mares must be three years or older, at least 15.1 hands. to be eligible for inspections for inclusion into either book. All studbook papers are issued by Belgium.
