Yes, there are specific IHB young horse classes, but at any major show it states the young horses have to be Irish Bred. Mine have KWPN passports but are Irish Bred. And lets be honest about it, if the rules say horse has to be Irish Bred and they want to get stupid about it, something can be done. And with this new rule why would anyone want to promote an Irish horse in IHB classes anyway. It's becoming a big joke. I can understand Irish bred which if fine, but I think the rules are going to have to change. They really shouldn't be allowed to tell you what studbook you choose. Not very democratic to say the least. In future, all my horses will be registered with Zangersheide.
But really, I'm not a big breeder. I breed one warmblood a year when things go right so I'm not someone who will change the system. I can and will work around the politics.
