Registration

North American Registration

Westfalen registrations in North America follow the bylaws of our parent organization in Germany, the Westfälisches Pferdestammbuch e.V. Foals must be physically inspected, microchipped and have DNA parentage verification done. Branding is optional, and dependent on pedigree. In Person Inspections will begin in July of 2024 - Please follow the link below to sign up for inspection, and watch the Tour Schedule page and facebook for dates and locations. Mail-in Registration will be allowed for offspring of mares already entered in the mare books. All foals whose registrations are completed in their year of birth receive a free USEF Lifetime Number. Breeding books exist for Warmbloods (Westfälischen Reitpferde), German Riding Ponies (Deutsches Reitpony) and Haflingers. Foals as well as older previously unregistered horses who meet pedigree requirements may be inspected and registered, receiving official WBFSH sanctioned passports directly from Germany. Horses without eligible pedigree needing age verified Horse Identification (HID) passports for USEF show requirements can be issued passports through the mail. Mares and Stallions are inspected, given scores and entered into a breeding book at the same inspection sites around the USA and Canada where foal and older horse registration takes place.
