We
are the British Stud Book Authority for the Lipizzaner
and are recognised by the British Ministry of
Agriculture, Fisheries & Food (DEFRA)
We are also recognised by the EC in accordance with the
relevant Directives. |
| We
are the Official British Delegates to the World
Authority for the Lipizzan Horse – The Lipizzan
International Federation (LIF) and we are proud to state
that we comply with the Statutes as laid down by the LIF
which are in accordance with those of the European
Commission. |
| We
are also a member of the British National Stallion
Association and are on the Horse & Pony Breeds
Committee of the British Horse Society. |
We
are dedicated to the pure & correct breeding of the
Lipizzaner Horse and our Stud Book is fully accepted by
the LIF as representing only pure bred Lipizzaners who
trace back to the original lines as produced by the
Hapsburgs for the Viennese Court.
We do not uphold upgrading in any form unless authorised
by the LIF. Our Main Stud Book Register I therefore is
only open to pure animals of proven ancestry. |
| We
do have a Register II which is open to Lipizzaners whose
ancestry is pure but not traceable back to the
originators. There is no interaction between the two
registers and in order to enter Register II a Lipizzaner
must have a sire entered in Register I or its European
equivalent. |
