8.2 An application may also be accepted, in the case of a gelding, from non-members at the prescribed fee.

8.4 A registered male which is castrated shall be entered as a gelding before the Society will record a transfer of ownership.
In naming stock, the applicant must use the breeder’s registered prefix. A breeder may apply to register a prefix for his/her exclusive use in naming stock upon payment of the prescribed fee. The Society shall have the right to decline to accept an application to register a prefix when, in its opinion, the prefix is unsuitable or objectionable. A prefix must also be approved by the British Central Prefix Register.

10.1 The application form has not been completed in sufficient detail.
10.2 The name of the animal is unsuitable or objectionable.
10.3 The animal is piebald or skewbald in colour.
11.1 Each application for registration or entry shall be accompanied by a certificate on a form approved by the Society and signed by the owner or lessee of the sire. The certificate shall specify the sire and the dam, the date(s) of service, and, if appropriate, the dates when the sire and the dam ran together. If the breeder and the owner or lessee of the sire at the time of covering are the same the requirement for a service certificate will be waived subject to the completion of the appropriate section of the applications form.
11.2 Only service certificates supplied by the Society will be accepted. Details of such certificates having been recorded in the Office.
11.3 In the case of a dam running on approved land the application for registration or entry must be accompanied by a certificate signed by the Secretary or authorised officer of the Improvement Society, confirming that the mare has been running with a registered stallion. (Approved Land is Common Land or Land under the jurisdiction of Pony Improvement Societies where a stallion which has been granted a premium by the Society is running.)
An application for registration or entry will only be considered when the sire holds:
12.1 A Licence issued by the Society, or
12.2 A Veterinary Certificate issued before 1 January 1983 and inspected by the Society or
12.3 A Stallion Licence issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and inspected by the Society.
An application for registration or entry of stock got by artificial insemination will be accepted subject to the following conditions:-
13.1 Owners and breeders must be members of the Society at the time of registration.
13.2 Stallions must be Registered, Licensed and DNA Typed.
13.3 Stallion owners must maintain a special Report of Service by A.I. which will be returned to the Society at the end of the covering season. In addition, a Stallion Covering Certificate will be required in an amended version for A.I. coverings.
13.4 Collection of semen shall be carried out under the supervision of a Veterinary Surgeon or an approved person.
13.5 Insemination shall be carried out by a Veterinary Surgeon or an approved person who will countersign the A.I. Service Certificate, (see 13.3 above).
13.6 The application for Registration shall be lodged with the Society on or before 31st December of the year of birth. The mare and foal must be DNA typed and identified by a Veterinary Surgeon on the Society’s special (A.I.) Application form. The Foal will only be accepted for Registration if no exclusion occurs when comparison is effected with the Sire and Dam.
NOTESIn the case of Welsh Part-Bred foals, regulation 13.1 does not apply and regulation 13.2 only applies if the Stallion is contributing registered Welsh Blood to the progeny.
The Foal DNA form will have the names and reference numbers of the Sire and Dam added before despatch from the Society with instructions for the laboratory to proceed with parentage tests.
All Overseas Societies are requested to submit records to the Welsh Pony & Cob Society of Stallions with permits, the semen collected, mare coverings and successful foalings each year. This would enable an overall review of the use of A.I. within the Welsh Breeds and for an overall picture to be built up over the years.
The covering preceding embryo transfer should be dealt with by the procedures required for their natural mating or Artificial Insemination, as appropriate. Both stages of the embryo transfer - the extraction from the Donor Mare and the introduction to the Host Mare must be carried out by a Veterinary Surgeon, and with appropriately designed Certification.

Appropriate records should be kept in the same way for Embryo Transfer foalings as for A.I.
The Society shall select, at random, from the applications for registration/entry, animals for blood typing to validate parentage. If parentage fails to be established, the application will be rejected.
Notification of transfer of ownership of ponies or cobs registered/entered, must be completed before registration/entry of their progeny can be accepted. It is the responsibility of the vendor of the pony or cob to notify the Society, sign, date and surrender the Registration Certificate/Passport for endorsement and pay the relevant transfer fee.

The application should be made on a form supplied by the Society and shall be accompanied by the animal’s Registration Certificate/Passport, by four recent photographs to show head, tail, near side and off side, and by the prescribed fee. Provided that the application is satisfactory, the Society will issue an Export Certificate which must accompany the pony or cob on its journey.
[NOTE: In the case of a mare being covered prior to exportation, the appropriate Service Certificate must accompany the Export application.]
In the event that a pony or cob has been exported without an Export Certificate, the Society may at its absolute discretion proceed with an application subject to:-

Where an animal is being imported or re-imported into the United Kingdom, that animal shall be re-entered, at the appropriate fee, on a form approved by the Society, to show importation/re-importation.
When a pony or cob is leased or loaned, both the owner and lessee must lodge the necessary information on a form prescribed by the Society before registration or entry of progeny can be considered.
A Member who complains as to the correctness of a pedigree of any pony or cob registered or entered with the Society shall deposit with the Society a sum of £200 and submit a signed statement substantiating their complaint. If, following an investigation, the complaint is deemed by the Society to be well founded, the sum will be repaid. If following investigation the complaint is deemed by the Society to be illfounded, the sum will be forfeited.
In the event of any error or omission by the Society of any officer, servant or agent of the Society resulting in registration/entry contrary to any of the foregoing regulations, the Society shall investigate and thereafter:
21.1 Confirm registration/entry notwithstanding the fact that it was made contrary to one or more of the above regulations, or
