The General Stud Book and Non-Thoroughbred Register

The General Stud Book for Thoroughbreds was first published in 1791, by James Weatherby, and has been maintained and published by us ever since. Frequently referred to as the “mother stud book”, it has been the model for horse registers around the world.
