The approval is open for 3- and 4 yr-old stallions (birth year 2020 and 2021) registered with a recognized studbook and with documented ancestry over four removes.
Entry:
The entry can be made through our website www.zangersheide.com by completing the registration form online and emailing the x-rays to [email protected] by Jan. 14. The following information must accompany the registration:

All stallions invited to the selections must have been vaccinated against influenza/ tetanus. Vaccination certificate must be shown on request.

To be newly licensed, the following obligations must be met:
3- and 4-yr-old stallions: conformation selection as shown in hand and in free jumping (namely, in over a cross with pole in front and at one stride an upright which will eventually be built into a sloping oxer)
When a veterinarian appointed by Studbook Zangersheide decides it is necessary to re-examine a stallion radiographically or clinically, it is obligatory to cooperate with this before the stallion can enter the stud service. The findings of the relevant veterinarian will be definite. Of all licensed stallions the DNA pattern will be recorded. All newly to be licensed stallions shall be measured.
