Breeding Regulations

Evaluation of the Breeding Stock ~ Article 9

The subject matter of the evaluation are the features defined in the breeding program. The evaluation is carried out at public events (stallion shows, mare shows, competitions and the like) to enable comparison of a sufficiently large number of horses of the same breed. In justified exceptional cases, an evaluation can also be carried out outside of public events.

The evaluation is expressed in full grades:

10 = excellent
9 = very good
8 = good
7 = rather good
6 = satisfactory
5 = sufficient
4 = deficient
3 = rather unsatisfactory
2 = unsatisfactory
1 = extremely unsatisfactory
0 = not evaluated

The result of the evaluation is expressed as a total grade which is the arithmetic average of the individual partial grades and is calculated to one decimal place. An indication in total grades is permissible. The partial grades may be weighted.
Responsible for the evaluation are commissions appointed by the respective breeding association which are to include the stock supervisor or his or her commissioner as well as at least one other expert.
