To Be Called A 'Warlander' Requires Registration With The Mother Studbook - WSS
Whilst the Warlander name has become popular world-wide as the way of describing the Friesian / Iberian hybrid - a horse does not qualify for the Warlander name unless it is registered with the Mother Studbook WSS
warlander Registration requirements and Appendixes
Requirements
Warlander horses are derived from the crossing of both purebred Friesian and purebred Iberian horse breeds. To qualify for Warlander registration they must meet the requirements of registration and carry no more than 75% or less than 25% of the base breeds. The Warlander Studbook is closed to outside blood.
QUALIFYING BREEDS
Iberian: refers to any purebred horse (not pony) originating from the Iberian Peninsula who is registered in a purebred studbook. The four breeds accepted are Pura Raza Espanola (PRE) also be known as Spanish Andalusian (Australia and USA), the Puro Sangue Lusitano (PSL), the Alter Real and the regional breed - Pura Raza Menorquina. The Hispano-Portuguese (PSL x PRE) is also allowed as long as it is registered.
Friesian: refers to horses registered with the mother studbooks: the Friese Paarden Stamboek (KFPS) and Friesenpferde-Zuchtverband e. V. (FPZV) or any horse proven through Parental Verification and testing will be accepted without discrimination if registered with verified studbooks and local European registries who are members of the FN.
Warlander: refers to horses registered in the Warlander Studbook Society including past IWSR registrations and in Europe Bayerischer Zuchtverband fuer Kleinpferde und Spezialrassen in Germany. There are no other Warlander bodies that issue paperwork in the world that WSS acknowledge or that meet our high standards. WSS will accept horses if DNA testing can be traced back to the Mother Studbooks.
