The pilot program may be ending, but there will be new regulations for inspecting approving arab/TB/shagya/AA horses. Here's what was in the May newsletter:
"The ATA strongly endorses the breeding goals of improving the Trakehner horse through the use of select Thoroughbred and Arabian blood, but the addition of this blood must bring improvement to the Trakehner horse; therefore, the quality of the Thoroughbreds and Arabians must be very high.
The Board decided not to continue both pilot programs when they expire at the end of 2005 and will propose amendments to the ATA Corporate Regulations to provide for the addition of mares and stallions of documented pedigrees of Thoroughbreds, Arabians, Shagya Arabians and Anglo-Arabians into the ATA books. Mares would enter through the Preliminary Stud Book as they currently do, but would be required to attain a higher score than during the Pilot Program in order to be accepted. The addition of Thoroughbred and Arabian stallions would be similar to the current procedure, with certain modifications, and would also become part of the Corporate Regulations. All Thoroughbred and Arabian horses would pay the same fees as Trakehner horses. All Arabian horses and Arabian crosses would have to submit proof that they are clear of SCID before they could be accepted for inspection. Any Thoroughbred or Arabian mare or stallion that has raced must submit an official racing record.
As in the Pilot Program, Thoroughbred and Arabian stallions must have a performance record to be considered for inspection and approval. This might be from racing on the flat, steeple-chasing, endurance riding or any of the recognized Olympic disciplines.
The proposed changes to the Corporate Regulations will be published in the August/September Trakehner Times.
In addition to these changes, which would become permanent if approved at the annual meeting, other protocol changes would be implemented within the Inspection Committee’s procedures for inspection of Thoroughbreds and Arabians. Primarily, the Inspection Committee will be raising the passing score needed for approval of these horses. This will insure that their quality will improve Trakehner breeding programs and put the Trakehner horse at the top of all disciplines."
So, inspections of these horses will probably continue beyond 2005 but under the Corporate Regulations rather than the pilot program. As stated above, the proposed regulations will be publicized in the Aug/Sept Trakehner Times so they may be voted upon at the membership meeting in November.
