Appendix Registers

As of 1 January 2020, the Appendix ‘A’ register is re-opening after being closed for 17 years.

Appendix A

With effect from 1 January 2020, following inspection and approval by inspectors/inspector nominated by the Highland Pony Society Council, females and geldings of suitable Highland pony type may be registered as Appendix A ponies. The cost of the inspection will be borne by the Applicant. (*See information on Appendix inspections given below.) Female progeny of an Appendix A mare may advance to the Appendix B following inspection. Male progeny must be gelded and placed on their dam's register.

Appendix B

Appendix ‘B’ is for female progeny, born after 1st January 2020, of Appendix A mares and a fully registered and licensed Highland stallion. Filly progeny of an Appendix B mare, if they pass inspection, will advance to Appendix C. If not, they will be retained on their dam's register. Male progeny must be gelded and placed on their dam's register.

Appendix C

Appendix ‘C’ is for female progeny of Appendix B mares and a fully registered and licensed Highland stallion. Female and gelded progeny of Appendix C mares , if they pass inspection, are eligible for registration in the full Stud book. If not, they will be retained on their dam's register.

*Inspections for Appendix Applications are now generally undertaken by virtual means. Applicants should email the Society with the application giving the names of the sire and dam, if available, and attach the following images/videos:

• Front view image
• Rear view image
• Side view image
