Registration

Why Register Your Pony?

Registration is the act of recording and safekeeping of a pony’s bloodlines (sire and dam) and allows us to trace the lineage of a pony through generations of recordings.
A pony’s registration papers matched to its brands identify the pony and provide evidence of its breeding.
For purebred ponies registration papers hold the evidence that the pony is a pure breed.
Owning a registered New Forest pony allows you to breed a New Forest foal from a mating with another purebred New Forest.
Owning a registered New Forest pony allows you to show your pony in New Forest breed classes and compete for awards offered specifically for New Forest ponies.
Documentation for part bred New Forest ponies is also available.
See ‘Registration or recording in Australia’.

Registration or recording in Australia

The Australian Pony Stud Book Society (APSB) offers registration for nine pony breeds including the New Forest pony, which has its own section in the APSB Stud Book. Part bred ponies are recorded by the APSB in a separate part bred register and can have a letter suffix attached to their recording number to identify them as a New Forest partbred provided they have a minimum of 25% provable New Forest blood. A part bred pony cannot be registered in the Stud Book which is reserved for purebred ponies.

The APSB provides competition Australia wide for APSB registered breeds and recorded Part bred ponies competing in either Breed classes or Part breed classes.
The New Forest Pony Owners & Breeders also supports New Forest purebred and New Forest Part bred ponies by sponsoring awards such as Performance Pony and Achievement Pony.
Registering / recording your New Forest pony adds value to your pony as it increases the pony’s competition opportunities.

Purchasing a New Forest pony:

Is my New Forest pony registered?

Did you receive registration papers when you purchased your New Forest pony?

Does your New Forest pony have brands?

Answers to these questions will usually indicate whether the pony has been registered.

If you are unsure whether your pony has been registered you can contact us.

When you purchase a New Forest pony the seller should hand on the registration papers to you. To have the pony’s registration transferred into your own name as the new owner you need to be a financial member of the APSB. Submit the papers with the transfer fee to the APSB Federal Registrar who will record you as the owner and return the papers to you in your own name.
The APSB Federal Registrar handles all information and enquiries in relation to registration /recording and membership matters.
