‘Tinkas Boy’

 
NEW STUDBOOK FOR IRELAND Studbook-IES...Studbook for Irish and European Sporthorses has opened its doors for business. This Studbook is aiming to produce talented horses able to compete at the highest levels and has been recognised as European approved by DARD and DEFRA. Based in Co. Down this new studbook will give Irish breeders of performance stock a new alternative as regards registration. Studbook-IES recognises approved European Stallions and mares thus embracing the EU spirit of inclusivity. Studbook-IES will without any further inspection recognise approved stallions from European and British based studbooks and register the offspring in relevant section of its studbook. However for ‘Pink Papers’ the sires must have competed at the highest level. Studbook-IES will hold its own STALLION GRADINGS in April this year based on the system adopted from its sister studbook in GB – The Anglo European Studbook where performance is the key. Young stallions are inspected and if up to standard are given Licensed Status, they then have to compete and when they reach the required level are accepted as Approved. Stallions, which do not compete, will be excluded. Mares are also rewarded with elite status if they reach the required level of performance. The system developed by the AES has been the envy of the more established studbooks throughout Europe as it has the ability to talent spot superstars at a young age, horses like ARKO, MONTENDER, TINKAS BOY, ANIMO, DEFI PLATIERE, PAINTED BLACK, OVIDIUS, ANDIAMO Z , YARLAND SUMMERSONG, the last two actually AES born an bred, were all first approved by the AES and have gone on to be champions and household names in the sport horse industry. These initial Gradings/Assessments and veterinary examinations will be based on the potential for horses to compete at the highest level in the sport. See Events page for details. Following on from the Spring Gradings it is hopes to stage foal and young stock shows over the summer months.
