Embarrassingly silly question....KWPN

Yes, dearie. I know that. :rolleyes:

And I mentioned it, because there are some registries that KWPN does not consider Erkend - such as Rheinland Pfalz-Saar, ISR/ONA, Polish Trakehner, Canadian Warmblood, AWR, and AWS.[/QUOTE]

OP likely did not know that Erkend means recognized; which merely makes Equibrits post helpful to OP.

I have a question: why no Polish Trakehner? Didn’t they join the ‘club’?
I seem to recall Traks originating from the E. Prussian with a strong Polish locale presence?

Because the registry doesn’t have the ranking, perhaps?

Thanks,

een stamboek minimaal twee keer een plaats bij de beste zeventien voor dressuur of springen moet hebben behaald

A studbook must at least twice have reached a position among the best seventeen (studbooks) for dressage or show jumping.

Before 2013 it used to be the best TEN studbooks within the ranking of the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH). So that number increased substantially in 2013.

I was just reading through this and about to ask why RPSI was “erkend?” I’m presuming this is because of the reasons Elles mentioned?

The NRPS is actually a split off from the Arabian studbook. At first it used to be for horses with a percentage of Arabian blood. Nowadays also a certain percentage of Anglo Arabian blood is also good enough for registration. Although their ponies have usually (still) a high percentage of Arabian blood, their horses today seem to look like the KWPN horses.

FWIW, there is another Dutch Warmblood studbook besides KWPN. Nederlands Rijpaarden en Pony Stamboek (NRPS) registers riding horses and ponies, but it differs from KWPN in that it doesn’t have “royal status” like KWPN, and is little known outside of The Netherlands. Horses from that registry are also referred to as “Dutch Warmbloods”, and KWPN considers it as an Erkend studbook.[/QUOTE]
