Changes to the WPCS Stud Book

Changes to the WPCS Stud Book

At the October 31^st, 2005 meeting of the WPCS Council meeting it was resolved to create an additional register within the main body of the WPCS stud book. This is will ensure that all animals with proven registered parentage are accommodated within the WPCS studbook.

The register will be called Section X. It will be open to all animals with proven parentage that were not previously eligible for registration with the WPCS. This could include, progeny of BxD and BxC, coloured ponies and progeny of unlicensed stallions. Stock and progeny accepted in Section X will remain within that section.

The Council have also agreed that animals entered in Section X will not be eligible to be shown in classes for registered Welsh Ponies and Cobs, Mountain and Moorland etc. In addition animals registered in Section X will not be eligible to be sold at official Society Sales.

This change to the WPCS studbook is taking place in order to ensure compliance with EU legislation (EU 96/78) concerning the harmonisation of stud books and is consistent with changes being adopted by other UK Native Breed Societies.
