IHRA – STAGBI Notice……

Following a recent meeting between the IHRA & STAGBI  it has been agreed between both parties that a temporary concession on the current STAGBI Stud Book transfer fee of £50 sterling (€60)per horse will be reduced to £25 (€30) up to the 14th February 2017. This concession was sought on the basis that it now appears that there are still a considerable number of Broodmares for which Covering Certificates have been applied for to the IHRA that have still not been Stud Book transferred to allow registration of their 2017 progeny. This concession will also apply for any Stallions and race horses that have not yet been transferred.

It has also been agreed that the IHRA will only issue Covering Certificates for the 2016 breeding season forward for Stallions standing at Stud and/or resident in Ireland and any retrospective certificates for registered Stallions will be issued by STAGBI, this course of action is to ensure the integrity of both Stud Books going forward.

STAGBI  Mating Certificates for Stallions owned and/or resident in Ireland will only be issued up to and including the 2015 breeding season.
