Allocation of a name upon the entry
into the studbook
The name allocated upon the entry into the studbook is to
be maintained. In certain cases a new name may be entered
with the permission of the breeding association, if the
original name is always indicated in brackets behind the
new name during the complete duration of the horse's life
in publications as well as on the account of descent. Names
including the name of a breeding place may, as a rule, changes
of this combination are not permissible. The first letter
of the name of a female breeding animal is identical to
the first letter of the name of its mother, the first letter
of the name of a male breeding animal is identical to the
first letter of the name of its sire.
The breeding name of each licensed stallion has to be admitted
by the stock department of the FN via the responsible breeding
association. A direct agreement between stallion owners
and the stock department of the FN is not permissible.
A name is only considered as allocated when it is acknowledged
by the stock department and the stallion has been entered
into the stallion data base of the FN under this name.
The Canadian Oberlander Horse Association applies
for the names in written, under citation of at least the
registration number as well as the sire and the mother.
Besides, the provisions of the regulations on breeding
associations of the FN are to be applied.
Provisions on Exceptions

of stallions reared abroad which are already registered
in the studbooks of the association of their origin are,
as a rule maintained.
b. A name once allocated to a stallion is to be used
for full brothers of this stallion with the corresponding
affix II, etc.
Regulations, Active Marking, Branding
of Foals
Prerequisites for the allocation of a brand:
Thigh brands including a number brand are, as a rule, only
given out in the year of the birth. The brand is placed
on the left thigh by the commissioners of the association
after the foal has been inspected with respect to the description
of color and markings before having been taken away from
its mother. Foals for which only a birth certificate has
been issued will only receive the number brand.
Thigh Brand
Foals can only receive a thigh brand when they satisfy the
prerequisites with respect to descent as well as all other
conditions for the issuance of an account of descent. It
consists of the breed symbol of the association.
Active Marking
All foals receive a brand of three digits on the left
thigh. This number consists of the fifth, sixth and seventh
digit of the registration number.
The brand can be replaced by acknowledged methods for
active marking.
