The studbook is subdivided into the stallion books I and II.
A stallion may only be used within the scope of the breeding program if it is licensed.
The details concerning the grant of licenses are regulated in the licensing regulation.

Stallions are entered that are no more than three years old

• the mothers of which are at least entered in the Main Book of Mares
• the sired of which are MF, MMF and MMMF Stallions which are entered in the stallion book of a breeding association or may acquire entries therein
• which have received the total grade of 7.0 at a public event of the Canadian Oberlander Horse Association, wherein the evaluation may in no partial criterion fall short of the grade of 6.0 and
• which have satisfied the requirements laid down for their respective breed at the stallion performance test according to article 10 of the SBR, appendix 3.

Requirements for the Oberlander Horse:
Result at the stallion performance test: 6.5 or a total index of 100 points. If the mother has no entry in the Performance Book of the Mares, she has to satisfy the requirements of the Performance Book of the Mares with respect to her pedigree and with respect to the evaluation of the exterior. The stallion must have passed an acknowledged performance test with a grade of at least 6.5 or a total index of 100 points before it can acquire an entry in the Stallion Book.

• The committee of judges can, under special conditions, prolong these time limits by no more than 15 months in individual cases.
• If the fixes deadlines are not kept, the stallion is considered as not entered.
