Trakehners Australia Inc.

Pureblood foals may be registered with Trakehners Australia Inc and based on approval of their pedigree and DNA parentage testing, are issued with a "Birth Certificate" that shows their pedigree and that they are in the Trakehner Foal Book. 

​

Purebloods older than foals may be registered with Trakehners Australia Inc provided their pedigree and parentage can be appropriately verified beyond doubt.  TA will accept registration papers for such horses from various other studbooks as evidence of pedigree. For including into the Trakehners Australia studbooks,  these horses (mares, foals or geldings) must be graded bean authorised TA representative, and for that purpose, a Trakehner Verband approved grading commissioner comes "on tour" to Australia. 

​

At 3 years of age or more, pureblood Trakehners may be presented for classification into the Trakehners Australia Studbooks, for mares or stallions.  They must be graded by an authorised TA representative, and for that purpose, a Trakehner Verband approved grading commissioner comes "on tour" to Australia.  You can book your horses in for assessment on the tour.  

​

Foundation bloodstock from pedigree approved and proven Thoroughbred, Arabian, Anglo Arabian and Shagya Arabian mares and stallions with proven pedigrees may also be graded into the Mare and Stallion Studbooks of the Australian Trakehner Registry.

 

DNA parentage testing is required for all purebloods.  For those horses whose sire &/or dam does not have a DNA test report, a DNA test is still required as a reference sample to refer to for future progeny.     

​

​

Horses with a pedigree showing at least 25% Trakehner bloodlines may be entered into the Trakehner Partbred/Derivative Register. Partbred foals with a minimum 25% Trakehner bloodlines may be entered into the Trakehner Partbred/Derivative Foal Registry.
