BWP FOAL REGISTRATION
Foals can be registered without inspection with BWP/NAD. They must meet the below requirements and breeders must complete the following list to the right to submit a registration.
Foals born in 2025 must be named with a "C".
REQUIREMENTS FOR INCLUSION IN FOALBOOK:
Foals can be registered in the BWP Foal Book if their sire if approved BWP/NAD, BWP, or approved with another WBFSH recognized Studbook. Their dam must be BWP/NAD, BWP, or recognized with another WBFSH Studbook (including registered Thoroughbreds and Anglo Arabians).
First round registration closes for foals November 1 of their birth year. Registrations submitted after November 1 but before the end of the year are still eligible for USEF LIfetime Recording; registrations submitted after the start of the next year will be submitted the following year as a yearling. This allows the organization to get all registrations to Belgium by the start of the next year.
