“Breed Up” European Brabant Studbook All-Inclusive Registration

All DNA parentage verification and mandatory health testing results, whether purchased through the EBRA or transferred into the EBRA system, will become permanent record, which the documented owner may access at any time upon request. The EBRA is not responsible for providing non-mandatory DNA test results, therefore the release of any additional testing performed by past or present owners must be negotiated between the private parties at time of purchase.

Applicants applying for registration of a horse whose parent, or parents, are not EBRA registered, must provide a copy of existing registration documentation and/or passport for the non-EBRA sire and/or dam, along with a breeding certificate that substantiates the offspring’s breeding. In the event a breeding certificate is not available, the applicant may provide a DNA parentage test that proves the offspring’s sire and dam. 

Once the applicant’s parentage has been confirmed, those who are proven 100% will automatically be recognized in the European Brabant Studbook. Those who are less than 100% but greater than 93.75% must undergo a Breed Standard Evaluation (NOTE: >93.75% offspring of  Approved Qualified Mares pared with an ERBA registered purebred stallion or a documented 100% European Brabant stallion are exempt from Breed Standard Evaluations). Those applicants who pass the Breed Standard Evaluation are then recognized in the European Brabant Studbook. 

The European Brabant Registry of America reserves the right to assign a lesser rating if the traceable heritage does not support a >93.75% rating. Should the rating fall below the purebred threshold of 15/16, the horse will be considered for recognition within the European Brabant Stock Studbook.
