Need some advice on the following if anyone can help or guide me in the right direction.

I'm wanting to know if my horse is eligible to be registered with a society as I'm not clued up with all these societies that are about these days, or if you can register part breds etc.

Reason why I ask is hopefully in the future I'd like to do some showing, hunter classes etc at county level but obviously I don't think we can as he's not registered, I didn't get a papers with him despite knowing how he's bred. I did get a pedigree of his sire's side and was told his mum was just a TB (do have photo of him foal at foot).

He's by Omar a licensed coloured stallion, not sure who he's registered with but he has a number and also is registered with CHAPS but his dam was a TB mare (have no details of mare, so breeding unknown on his dams side) can he be registered with the Sports Horse Society? or as a part WB?

Can I register him with BWBS or the BSHS?

Do I need to get a DNA sample of my horse?

Or is there nothing much I can do?

Not sure if this helps. When i first got my old SJ he wasn't registered I knew his breeding and they gave me the covering certificate. I then sent the covering cert to the AES who then sent out a markings form that was completed by a vet when he took blood for DNA. i then got a full passport with breeding details.
I don't know if they wil just DNA sample on your word though without a covering cert. Otherwise you can register him, but not sure if they will record his breeding.
 
Horses don't have to have registered parentage to compete in non-breed classes, even at county level - so hunters/hacks/riding horses/cobs/show ponies etc can be of unknown breeding. They will have to be registered with the society that runs the classes to enter the bigger shows, but any horse can be registered as long as they're the correct height/age etc.
 
When I registered my coloured filly with CHAPS they wouldn't state the sire on the passport even though I had a covering certificate from a NPS registered stallion. They said they could only state the stallion if it was registered with them.
Best of luck, I think it depends on who you register with.
