where can I grade a rare breed horse

[curly1]

I have a rare breed american curly horse but there are no gradings for this breed in the uk. The horse is just a yearling and the sporthorse society dont grade untill 3yrs old.

Can anyone suggest anywhere that will grade/inspect rare or unusual breeds.

I want to use this colt for breeding.

Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think any society will grade colts for future breeding use before they're 2 or 3 at the earliest and then it would be provisionally until they had either proved themselves in competition or have progeny doing the same (and at that young age, you'll not fill that criteria).
Interesting, can you show us some pictures please, never seen one before?

No idea about grading, I'm afraid, but I'd like to see a pic too.

My colt will be 2 in the spring. and we dont have anough in this country to be able to run an official curly inspection in the UK.

do the stallions have to be graded in order for their progency to be passported? I cant see any information on grading on the website
