MARE INSPECTIONS:

Judging of mares takes place before entry in the Stud Book. Mares are examined at 3 years and older in hand on the triangle. Mare inspections are required for:-

ALL mares to be entered into CWHBA Stud Books, regardless of registry, of level of Book eligible for.
Thoroughbred, Arabian and Anglo-Arabian mares for up-grading to Pre-Book II, and
all warmblood mares born 1992 and thereafter entering any of the CWHBA mare books.
Exception: mares which have been graded by their own warmblood registry may apply for entry at $30.
Exception: Warmblood mares born 1991 or prior, will be entered into one of the mare books above based on their level of pedigree. Inspection is not required.

Notes:

The inspection fee of $85.00 is a one time fee; the initial inspection fee includes mare entry for the first breeding season, not necessarily the year of inspection. Subsequent year annual Mare Entry is $15.00 and is included as part of the Foal Registration Fee.
Fillies born in 2003 are eligible to be inspected in 2006. It is important to remember that, if bred, the mare must be inspected in order to register her CWHBA foal.
All mares MUST be Entered for the breeding year in order to register a CWHBA foal.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
In cases where there is a question of eligibility for mares registered and/or entered with breed associations that are not listed above, the Stud Book Committee reserves the final decision on the level of eligibility based on documentation and approvals submitted with the application.

The CWHBA Stud Book Committee will consider, upon application, warmblood horses registered with the 'Zuchtverband fur Duetsche Pferde e.V.' (ZfDP) of Verden, Germany based upon the approved generations of warmblood pedigree and according to the rules and requirements set forth in our Stud Book regulations.

The 'Zuchtverband fur Duetsche Pferde e.V.' (ZfDP), which has been recognized by the German Equestrian Federation since 1984, does not keep a studbook/category: Canada. Papers issued in Canada under the ZfDp's previous name of "Deutscher Pferdezuchtverband e.V", often referred to as "German Warmbloods", are NOT considered valid registration papers. They are not recorded in any recognized Stud Book in Germany or Canada and as such are not recognized by the CWHBA.
