Where can I find a breeding stallion in the UK or Ireland?
Please note that cross-breeding is strictly forbidden and offspring cannot be registered nor graded with the KFPS / FHAGBI. There are NO licensed Approved Studbook stallions standing in the UK or Ireland, and foalbook stallions with breeding privilages are no longer permitted. In order to maximise the qualities of the offspring from a KFPS registered mare, we would recommend the use of AI with chilled semen (or frozen semen if chilled unavailable), from an approved studbook stallion in the Netherlands, or alternatively, subject to cost, having the mare inseminated with fresh semen from an Approved Stallion in the Netherlands. Very few Approved Studbook stallions offer natural cover. Whilst FHAGBI will always recommend the use of an Approved Studbook stallion, where AI is not feesible, a few people do choose to use non-approved foalbook stallions to cover their mare. However, foals may only be registered following satisfactory DNA tests and are registered in an Auxillary studbook, Bi-Bo
