Which stud book: AES or SH(GB) ??

[jaynec]

My TBx is reg in the auxiallary AES stud book and she was covered by Jumbo (SHGB). If all goes well and she foals as expected in June and the foal's OK (lots of ifs, I know) which stud book should the foal be registered with? Is one better than the other? I hope to breed an eventer???

Well you could reg with either & overstamp with the other. I think I would go with SHGB but then that is because it opens up showing at County level which is restricted to SHGB reg/overstamped animals.

I also had to choose between SHB GB and AES with my chairman filly, i went with SHB GB as there are more grading events throught the country.

The AES is the most successful sportshorse studbook in the UK. I'd go with them. The SHB(GB) still seems to be the show horse studbook rather than sports horse studbook (a major mistake in my ever humble opinion!)

I'd go AES and she will be upgraded from Auxillary to pink papers in it thanks to Jumbo and then overstamp SHB

 

[Elsbells]

Why upgraded? Pink papers?

Sorry to highjack but I don't know what all this means?

Whats the benefit of the pink papers too please?

 

[eventrider23]

As Jumbo is fully approved and 5 generation pedigree the foal should be eligible for the upgrade if the mare has 3 gens of parentage known. Is not a benefit per se...just a different status in the studbook

I'm another one who would go AES .... they have been steadily rising up the international rankings over the last few years, and I like much about their emphasis on competition performance for the stallions that they approve, and that they describe themselves as an inclusive studbook.

With my first bred, I registered him with the AES and then had his passport overstamped by the SHBGB when I was considering showing him in-hand as a 2 year old.

Another vote for AES here. The studbook will grow in strength as time goes on and I also like the fact that they take into consideration performance results.

I too would go for AES and support a performance based stud book

I think they are both as bad as one another!

But if you want to do showing classes at any of the county show you will need to have the little one either passported with the SHB(GB) or have the passport overstamped.

Well said Springs.

I am going down the Weatherby's NTR route with our boy.
