What are the ACPS registration rules for BECs in the US?
[Answer] In America – the BEC mare is registered as a full-fledged member of the Connemara breed….in the stud book, with a BEC designation (the certificate is bordered in blue/the stud book number has a BEC suffix). We give all the BEC foals a TFC (temporary foal certificate), but only the mares and those gelded colts may enter the purebred stud book. The ACPS does not register BEC stallions. You will find all this information in the Guide, published each year, usually with the directory of members – although this year, it was more easily found in the March/April 2000 issue of the American Connemara magazine.
