Which stallions are available?
The first answer is evident: above all you need an appropriate stallion. You may, however, not go to any stallion as not every stallion fulfills the entry-requirements of the Hanoverian Society. The stallions which fulfills the requirements are always published in the December – issue of the magazine "Der Hannoveraner". Only foals of these stallions are registered. But even the covering cannot be done without filling in some forms.
Artificial Insemination (including fresh semen insemination, transported semen, and deep-frozen semen) is approved in Canada if an application in this respect has been made for the particular stallion. An Artificial Insemination-form must be filled in and parentage verification must be carried out for each foal produced by Artificial Insemination. More details with regard to this can be obtained at the Society’s office at Verden.
Foaling
At the beginning of the year those active breeders who paid their annual due are sent a so-called "Deckschein" in which the data of the mare are already printed off by computer. Before the covering this "Deckschein" must be handed over to the owner of the stallion in order that he can record the covering in it. The owner of the stallion collects the first page-copy of the "Deckschein" which he returns to the Society at the end of the year. After the covering the owner of the stallion hands both the duplicates over to the owner of the mare.
Notification of foaling
When the owner of a registered mare has advised our office the previous year of the covering of the said mare he also receives an Abfohlmeldung (Notification of foaling) in the beginning of the year. The birth of the foal as well as the information required are to be noted in this document. It is the basis for issuing a pedigree paper. If your mare bears a living foal you keep the Abfohlmeldung for the present without filling in anything. You hand the document to the Society’s representative who registers the foal, brands it on the left hip and fills in this Abfohlmeldung. He will keep the first sheet and give both the copies to you . In case a mare did not come in foal please fill this in yourself in the appropriate column of the Abfohlmeldung and send it back to Germany immediately. If your mare has a still born foal or if the foal dies before it is branded, then please fill in the Abfohlmeldung as well. In these cases, however, the date of birth and the sex of the foal must also be indicated.
At the beginning of this year, we now officially bid farewell to our well-known pink registration papers. As of January 1, 1998, a horse passport is issued for every born foal, which includes all foals of the 1998’s vintage, all foals born after November 1, 1997.
The new passport includes data which
Breeding information and proof of identity for every horse with all the data that was included in our registration paper until now.
A veterinarian document that includes all the necessary records on the horse’s health status (e.g. vaccinations).
F.E.I. Passport. A horse that participates at international competitions does not need additional documents.
In addition to the above-described passport, each horse receives a separate certificate of ownership in a 9" by 11" format, which can be kept in a safe place separately.
The passport includes in the first section the basic data on each horse, which is available when it is issued, the life registration number, the sex, colour, date of birth, breed, pedigree, breeder and owner. These six pages are called breeding certificate. When both parents of said horse are registered, then these pages will be in pink, as before. Is only one parent of said horse registered, these pages will be white.
The following pages are printed forms. During the horse’s lifetime, entries will be made. These pages can be divided in:
The FEI part, which includes an outline diagram. This needs to be filled out when crossing borders.
Entries from breeding and competitions, e.g. approval results, studbook entries, performance test results, competition records.
Proof of identity checks, e.g. at a horse show or when crossing a border.
Entries of laboratory results.
Documentation on horse influenza.
Chapter 8 is a vaccination record for all other diseases.
The regulations of the European Union demand that the identity of a horse can be established at any time. Therefore, the passport must accompany the horse on every trip. The risk of losing the document is now much greater than when the document is stored in a safe place. This is the reason for issuing a separate certificate of ownership, which will be passed on to a third party only at the time of the sale of said horse.
The Abstammungsnachweis can be called the passport of the horse. All the important data concerning the horse are recorded in it. A pedigree table of four generations is printed on it, the brands are noted down together with the date of branding as well as all the registration in stud-books or as a competition horse. The Abstammungsnachweis belongs to the horse and it must in any case be handed over in case of change of ownership.
Never buy a horse for which the Abstammungsnachweis is not submitted! Since the Abstammungsnachweis is issued only once problems could arise, if you do not receive a paper at purchase.
The Abstammungsnachweis is, however, issued for such foals only of which the dam and the sire were entered into the Stud-book of the Society at the latest in the year of the birth of the foal. It is issued only in the year of the birth of the foal.Please note that the Abstammungsnachweis remains the property of the Hannoveraner Verband, and it is to be sent back to it on the death of the horse.If you own a mare and want to be entered into a section of the Hanoverian stud-book as a three-year–old or older, then the original Abstammungsnachweis must always be submitted for entry into the stud-book. Otherwise an entry is not possible.
The new passport is similar to the documents issued to Thoroughbreds. It consists of 40 pages, which are filed and secured in a plastic cover.Why do we now need 40 pages when until now we did just fine with two 9" x 11" pages?
