APSB Registers

APSB Part Bred

(a)The Society’s Part-Bred Register is open to any mare, gelding for which it can be proven that it has at least 12.5% purebred bloodlines within two generations, calculated from the sire or the dam, whose breeding can be proven to be eligible by production of a service certificate or a registration certificate from a recognised society.

(b) The Society’s Part-Bred Register is open to any colt or stallion for which it can be proven 50% registered, pure-bred bloodlines within one generation calculated from the sire or the dam, whose breeding can be proven to be eligible by production of a service certificate or a registration certificate from a recognised society. Stallions must be DNA tested prior to registration.

To be accepted for part-bred registration with the Society, a pony is to be ineligible for registration in any of the pure-bred sections.

There is no age limit for part-bred registration.

There is no height limit for part-bred registration.

Once registered with the Society, part-bred ponies are not eligible for transfer to any of the pure-bred sections of the Society’s stud book.

Part-bred ponies shall be allocated the suffix “PB” to their registered number.

The Society’s Part-Bred register is not open to:

a. a pony registered with a recognised society and eligible for reciprocal rights registration with the Society,

b. a pony which has been foal recorded in a pure-bred section of the Society’s Stud Book and is liable for penalty fees on late adult registration

APSB Breed Section Headings at Shows

The wording of some headings of APSB breed sections at many agricultural and smaller shows in all states is often confusing. To try and clarify what APSB breeds are eligible under specific headings the following applies:

Firstly, APSB is not a breed – it is a society that administers ten pure breeds and four registers under its umbrella. If the heading in a show program states APSB SECTION with no other clarification of eligible breeds then ALL ten pure breeds within the APSB stud book are eligible to compete i.e Australian, Welsh, Shetland, Highland etc.
If the section is dedicated to a specific APSB breed then the heading must state so i.e. Ponies eligible for this section must be registered in the Australian section of the APSB Society – or whatever breed intended.

Those ponies recorded in any of the four Registers within the APSB are INELIGIBLE to compete in classes dedicated to the APSB pure breeds.

All ponies must be entered in the name of the registered owner who must be a financial member of the APSB Society Inc. It is not necessary for the handler, rider or driver to be a financial member.
