General Questions
- I bought an Oldenburg (ISR) horse, what should
I do now?
Please, go to the section Services/Forms
and read the instruction and send in the transfer form.
- What is the difference between registration
and approval?
Foals are being REGISTERED in the year
they are born or as yearlings. Foals are being scored
with three notes.
They can be awarded premium and high score foals at the
inspection.
A foal is only allowed to be registered with ONE registry.
This registry determines the BREED of a foal.
At the age of three fillies should be
represented for mare book APPROVAL. The mare book entry
depends on the score the mare gets at the inspection and
on the papers she has. Mares may be approved by
various registries.
- What is the difference between ISR and Oldenburg
N.A.?
Oldenburg N.A. maintains two mare books:
The Premium Mare book and the Main Mare book.
ISR uses the same mare books and in addition maintains
the Mare book and the Pre Mare book for mares of good
sport horse type and good movements, but without sufficient
pedigree information or registration documents. Foals
of Mare book and Pre Mare book mares will be registered
ISR.
ISR horses are also eligible for the ISR-Oldenburg N.A.
USDF and High Point Oldenburg awards.
- Eligibility
If you cannot find an answer reg. the
eligibility of your horse in the sections Mares/Foals/Stallions,
let us know the following details:
- Age and sex of your horse
- Does your horse have any registration
paper?
- Which registry issued this registration
paper?
- Do you have a copy of the sire's and dam's
registration paper and a letter of parentage verification?
- If your horse does not have any registration
paper, what other pedigree information do you have?
- Let us know the bloodlines.
- I want to register a foal, what do I need
to do?
You need to present your foal at one
of the annual mare and foal inspections (see INSPECTIONS-Tour
Schedule). Before you go, please enroll with the inspection
host listed on the inspection tour schedule (forms may
be retrieved from the website).
If the foal's dam has not been entered
into one of our mare books yet, she must be presented
for mare book entry at the same time. Please make sure
that the sire is licensed for ISR-Oldenburg N.A. (check
the list of Approved Stallions on this website). If you
can't identify the sire in the list you may check his
eligibility with us by email (pls. provide name and owner
information).
Please read the section FOALS-Inspection
for more details about the presentation and scoring of
the foals and the related paperwork. Do not forget to
bring the original breeding certificate (which you should
have received from the stallion owner) to the inspection!
Foals (and yearlings) will be branded
at the inspection. For yearlings and older horses we require
a "letter of parent verification (LOPV)" which
means that they as well as their dam must be DNA typed.
Please, start this procedure early in the year, since
you need to bring a proof of the LOPV to the inspection!
DNA forms may be retrieved from our website, too.
If you will register a filly you may
present it again at the age of 3 for mare book approval.
Please, read the section MARES-Inspection for more details.
All ISR-Oldenburg N.A. registered horses
are eligible for all AWARDS listed on our website.
- Are registration paper/pedigree of a registry
of sire and dam enough documentation for a mare being presented
for mare book?
Yes, if papers (issued by an approved
registry) show at least 3 generations of pedigree and
mare owner provides proof of parentage (letter of parentage
verification done by DNA typing)
- Are the numbers of foals from a breeding
year published?
Yes, all foals are published in
the MEMBER Section of the website under Downloads. All
three scores as well as the final points, the dam's breed
and sire are also listed.
- Can a colt from a Pre Mare book mare be eligible
for stallion approval?
No, if the dam is in the Pre Mare
book due to a not verified or incomplete pedigree or due
to not approved bloodlines.
Yes, if the dam is in the Pre Mare book due to
an unsufficient score.
- Can I register my offspring by mail?
Yes, inform the Registry about the year
of birth of your offspring, name of the sire and name
of the dam as well as dam's sire and dam's breed. The
required forms will then be sent to you. For foals, born
in the year of registration a video may be submitted.
The owner will receive comments from the judge and the
foal will receive one final score. The registry will also
email a certificate showing the final score.
- Can I enter a mare into a mare book by mail?
Yes, just submit the copy of her registration
paper to the registry. All required forms will be sent
to you.
Naming Foals
- Are there rules regarding the naming of foals?
No, there are no strict rules.
It is recommended to choose a name that starts with the
first letter of the sire's name.
-
Paperwork
- Can paperwork be submitted via email, if I pay with credit card?
YES, you may scan and email the
transfer of ownership (plus required paperwork) or DNA
form and submit your credit card information.
YES, if you want to register a
foal/offspring via mail. Submit the info on the sire,
dam and age of your offspring to the registry and all
required forms will be sent to you.
Registration of an offspring and also
mare book entry is possible on the mail way. A video for
the foal may be submitted for a score and comments from
the judge.
Height
- Is there a height requirement for mares?
There is no height requirement in terms of centimeters. If mares are of the sport horse type and show suffient movement
they qualify even if they are small. Arab mares are fully eligible.
Mares of 14.2 h and smaller may qualify for the ISR Sport Pony mare books, if they fulfill all other requirements (reg. registration
and paperwork).
- Is there a minimum height for stallions?
Not really, but stallions of 16.1h and smaller would have to be of superior quality to get approved, because the
breeding goal focuses on 16.2 - 17.0 h.
Premium Status
-
If foals are being presented without dam by side, will these foals also get scored and rated premium?
Yes, if these foals are being presented in the year they are born.
No, if these foals are being presented as yearlings or older.
- Are foals of Pre Mare book mares eligible for Premium status and High Score awards?
Yes, foals of mares of all mare books are eligible for either award, since these awards only depend on the quality
of the foal.
Branding
- Will mares be branded at the inspection?
No, mares are not being branded.
- Will foals be branded at the inspection?
All Oldenburg N.A. and all ISR registered
foals can be branded at the inspection but it is not mandatory.
Branding is only possible until the age of 2.
Ponies
- Will the foal of an ISR-OLDENBURG N.A. Main Mare Book mare and a Pony Stallion of the Approved Stallion list be
registered as a Pony?
Yes, this foal will be registered
in the ISR Sport Pony Section.
- Will a foal out of a Pony mare that is in
one of the ISR Sport Pony mare books and by an approved
ISR-OLD N.A. Warmblood stallion be registered as a Pony?
Yes, this foal will be registered
as an ISR Sport Pony.
