Trakehners UK

The stallions featured in this  Covering Plan are those that have been put forward by their owners for special attention by British breeders of Trakehner horses.  Each has met the full criteria for selective breeding in the Trakehner stud books: normally a ‘grading’ and an approved stallion performance test.

In addition, each stallion has been subjected to Veterinary examination for relevant infectious diseases, and the certificates examined by the Registrar.  Mare owners can expect that the keepers of these stallions have all the necessary papers such as covering certificates, foaling returns and registration forms to achieve full registration of the resultant foal.

There are, of course, many more Approved Trakehner Stallions available.  It is strongly advised that mare owners check with the Registrar before committing to a covering to assure they will be able to achieve full registration of the resultant foal.

Special attention should be paid to the use of chilled semen from outside the UK. If sourced in the EU, this must come from an EU Approved Collecting Station, lists of which can be found on the DEFRA web site.  For other countries check with DEFRA.  Full importation certificates are mandatory, and copies must be submitted with the foal registration. Insemination forms are in use for both frozen and chilled semen, and all frozen semen foals are subject to DNA testing prior to registration.

If you have any queries please contact the Registrar.  Our aim is for you to have a trouble –free experience in breeding and registering a stunning Trakehner foal that will take you to the top.
