The minimum score for approval in the Preliminary Stud Book is 44 points from a possible 70 points. The Preliminary Stud Book is a means of adding outside blood to the existing Trakehner gene pool. We feel it is important that the outside blood be of a higher quality in order to further improve the high quality standards set for the breed.
