EUROPEAN BRABANT STOCK STUDBOOK

​

 

The European Brabant Stock designation is for horses who have a minimum of 47% verifiable European Brabant heritage, and lineage from other draft breeds. The specific goal of the European Brabant Stock registration is to identify quality, breed-standard horses of European Brabant descent who may be used to produce genetically diverse offspring, which may then be evaluated and included in the premiere European Brabant Studbook through the process of 
“Breeding Up.” A horse’s percentage will be based on traceable bloodlines and pedigree of their progenitors (sire and dam) and must consist of a minimum total of 47% verifiable European Brabant heritage to qualify for the European Brabant Stock Studbook. 

 

If a progenitor is not registered with the EBRA, supportive documents such as the progenitor’s registration and/or passport. A 100% rating assignment for the sire or dam is not automatic, and the European Brabant Registry of America reserves the right to assign a lesser rating if the traceable heritage does not support a 100% rating.

 

Horses with apparent dilute color or color spotting patterns will not be considered for the European Brabant Stock Studbook, but may be designated as an Appendix Brabant.

 

All European Brabant Stock applicants (geldings excluded) will be required to have a DNA profile completed, which will be used for parentage analysis and to validate any current and/or future offspring’s pedigree.
