The Exmoor Pony Registry shall be divided into three Breeding Sections,
a Non-Breeding Appendix and a Part-Bred Registry:

BREEDING REGISTRY:
Section 1: A pony sired by a Section 1 stallion, out of either a Section 1 or a Section 2 mare and displaying correct markings.
Section 2: A pony sired by a Section 1 stallion out of a Section 3 mare and displaying correct markings.
Section 3: A pony sired by a Section 1 stallion, out of a Section 1, Section 2 or a Section 3 mare but displaying white marks, white hooves/soles, white hairs or poorly defined mealy markings.

NON-BREEDING APPENDIX:
Appendix A: A pony sired by a Section 1 stallion, out of a Section 1, Section 2 or a Section 3 mare but displaying incorrect colouring or traits.

PART BRED REGISTRY:
Ponies eligible for the Part Bred Registry must be at least 50% Exmoor Pony.


1. Exmoor Pony colts eligible for stallion status must be by a Section 1 stallion and out of a Section 1 mare.

2. Ponies will be accepted for registration provided they are directly descended in all lines of pedigree from ponies registered in the Stud Book of the Exmoor Pony Society (Great Britain). Ponies shall be eligible for registration if they are already registered in the Stud Book of the Exmoor Pony Society (Great Britain) and the Canadian Mountain & Moorland Society. Imported ponies shall be granted Canadian Registration only according to the Rules of Eligibility which are in effect at the time of application for registration.

3. All pure-bred Exmoor Ponies shall be parentage verified by DNA analysis as a pre-requisite for registration.
a) DNA shall be performed within the calendar year of birth or within six months of importation.
b) Records of the DNA analysis shall be kept by the registry.

4. The use of Artificial Insemination or Embryo Transfer shall be allowed by special application prior to undertaking these procedures.

5. The registration of ponies born to dams who were bred in the year following the calendar year in which they were foaled shall not be accepted for registration.

6. Three photographs must accompany the Application for Registration. One showing a close up of the face with the forelock brushed aside. One each showing the full right and left sides of the pony including the hooves. Photographs must be in focus, colour and the pony should fill the frame when taking the picture.

7. Permanent identification of each pony is encouraged by Microchip Implant, Branding or Tattooing. Where ponies have a permanent identification it shall be provided on the Application for Registration and noted on the Certificate of Registration for that pony.
