Breeding Programme Guidelines
Weatherbys GSB administers the breeding programme, keeps the General Stud Book (GSB) for Thoroughbreds and determines the terms and conditions of entry.
In doing so the principles of the General Stud Book, which is kept by Weatherbys and which is the stud book of the origin of the breed (below named Thoroughbred), are strictly adhered to in accordance with the requirements of the zootechnical legislation issued by the EU and the International Studbook Committee.
The GSB is the Studbook (Breeding Programme) in terms of the zootechnical legislation and is kept by Weatherbys. It serves as a tool for the identification of purebred horses of this breed and proof of their pedigree and records Thoroughbred horses born in Ireland. The Main Section of the Stud Book is not divided into classes.
