IDSHS (Aust) Inc. Registration Guidelines

Eligibility and Process for ISH Registration and Studbook Registration - A Quick Reference Guide
One of the Society's stated purposes is to inspect and register Irish Draught and Irish Sport Horses.  These horses are then placed in the Online Pedigree Database.

This Quick Reference Guide addresses pedigree requirements only and is subject to the full Operating Regulations which contain additional requirements. The Operating Regulations can be found on our Members Only Page.

All horses, meeting the Society’s basic requirement of verifiable Registered Irish Draught (RID) blood, are eligible for ISH Registration 

Verifiable RID Blood
  • Geldings and Fillies / Mares - a minimum of 1/8th (12.5% or greater) verifiable RID blood for  ISH registration
  • Colts and Stallions to stand at stud with the Society: a minimum of 1/4 (25% or greater) verifiable RID blood for ISH registration. This does not affect currently registered stallions but it may affect their progeny
  • Mares 3 and over eligible for Studbook Inspection - a minimum of 1/2 (50%) verifiable RID blood and 1/2 (50%) verifiable ASB TB blood
  • Stallions eligible for Studbook Inspection - Both and Sire and Dam must have 100% verifiable RID blood
Should you have any questions with regard to the requirements and costs involved in registering an Irish horse, or any other concerns, the Society's Secretary or Registrar will be happy to assist.
