The Official Horse Breeds Standards Guide book - A wonderful guide for horse breeds of all kinds, featuring an entire chapter on the Friesian, and highlighting the FHS. This extraordinary book can be purchased for only $26.40 on Amazon.com (suggested retail $40.00)
Press Release
FHS has been granted the Universal Equine Life Number to register the Friesian horse in the United States and Canada.
ALL registries that wish to participate in the International recognition that a UELN provides, have a UELN for their breed. For instance, the KFPS has the UELN for the Friesian in the Netherlands.
In the USA the list includes but is not limited to, the AQHA for Quarter Horses, APHA for Paint Horses, The Jockey Club for Thoroughbreds, AHA for Arabians, AWR for American Warm Bloods, the AHHS for Hackneys, Oldenburgs, Trakehners, and Lippizans are just a few examples.
This UELN will insure that your FHS registered Friesian can be uniquely identified throughout the world! Registries participating in the UELN have the ability to exchange important data concerning the horses such as the pedigree, owner, breeder, etc.
The FHS is a Participating Organization in the USDF All-Breeds awards and our members can be awarded 5 certificates (The maximum allowed by USDF) in every Division/Level for which the FHS has eligible horses.
The USDF has asked that you are also advised of the following:
1. There is no fee for you to participate in the award program. The awards are paid for by FHS It is a benefit of your membership in FHS.
2. Your horse must be shown under the Breed Registered name. (No barn names etc.)
3. The horse must be registered with FHS
4. The FHS will accept other (foreign or national) registration papers but they must be sent into the FHS office and the horse officially transfered into FHS. (The original papers will be returned to you with a sticker indicating the horse is now registered with FHS)
5. You must be a member in good standing with FHS.
All-Breeds Declaration Policy Change
Dear All-Breeds Participating Organization Representative:
As a Participating Organization (PO) in the Adequan/USDF All-Breeds Awards Program, we would like to make you aware of a policy change that went into effect October 1, 2009, for the 2010 competition year.
USDF policy now states that the All-Breeds Awards Declaration Form must accompany a copy of breed registry papers for an all-breeds declaration to be made. If an owner submits a foal certificate or letter of eligibility/verification to USDF, the USDF All-Breeds Awards Declaration Form must accompany the verification. Owners can fax, mail, or e-mail a copy of the breed papers, letter of eligibility (for foals only), and the form to the USDF office. For horses not yet declared, this form must be received by August 1 of the current competition year in order to be eligible for all-breeds awards in the same competition year. There is no fee for the initial declaration and owners of horses who have already been declared need not reapply.Owners wishing to change their horse’s declaration to another PO may now do so by submitting a copy of appropriate breed papers, the All-Breeds Awards Declaration Form, and a $50 declaration change fee.
If your association sends or posts information to your members regarding USDF and the all-breeds award program, we ask that you consider including the new All-Breeds Awards Declaration Form, as this is the only way a horse can now be declared with USDF. We no longer accept handwritten declarations, declarations made in e-mails, or other declaration forms used by POs.
Also attached to this e-mail is a form requesting information about your registry that will aid USDF in assisting owners with making declarations. It is important to us that all horses are declared with the appropriate registry. Please complete the form and fax, mail, or e-mail it to the USDF office by April 1.
USDF’s goal is to make the transition with this new policy a smooth and easy process for all members. Please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions or concerns. Thank you for your time!
Sincerely,
Krystina Firth

There is a paradise where horses go......
