Welcome

This page provides information about inspections, branding and evaluations. 

Inspection for Breeding Approval & Evaluation

Inspection for Breeding Approval

The consistent quality of the Shagya-Arabian breed has been maintained by a rigorous commitment to breed standards, including the requirement that all potential breeding horses be inspected and approved according to the international Shagya-Arabian breed standards established by the ISG in order to produce registered Purebred Shagya-Arabian offspring.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Horses eligible for Inspection for Shagya-Arabian Breeding Approval

Shagya-Arabians


  • Shagya-Arabians (Book I), Shagya-Arabians (Book II) and Appendix Shagya-Arabians (Book I and II),  2-years and older may be presented for inspection for Approval for Shagya-Arabian Breeding.
  • All such eligible horses must be registered with SHARONA (the acronym for the NASS Registry).


Purebred Arabians


  • AHA Registered Purebred Arabian stallions and mares 2-years and older may be presented for inspection for Approval for Shagya-Arabian Breeding.

Evaluations

Evaluations are the assessment of horses for purposes other than Breeding Approval.


Evaluations offer owners the opportunity to have horses assessed by the commission for educational reasons only and the results are not applicable for breeding approval.

Horses eligible for Evaluation:

Shagya-Arabians & Part Shagyas


  • Shagya-Arabian breeding stock under 2-years of age.
  • Purebred Shagya-Arabian, Shagya-Arabian and Appendix Shagya-Arabian geldings, mares and stallions of any age. 
  • Part-Shagyas of any age.
  • All participating Shagya-Arabian bred horses must be registered with SHARONA.


Arabians & Other Breeds


  • Arabian mares and stallions of any age. 
  • Horses from any breed which one may want to breed to or who has bred to a Shagya-Arabian.


Branding

Horses registered with SHARONA as Purebred Shagya-Arabians (Book I) and Shagya-Arabians (Book II) are eligible to be branded with the internationally patented Shagya-Arabian breed brand.  The design is a sunburst with a stylized “Sh” inside. 


The owner of record must submit a completed Branding Application (posted below) and pay the appropriate fee. 

Genetic Disorder Testing:

Beginning with the inspection year 2021,  all mares and stallions approved for Shagya-Arabian breeding must have their SCID and CA test results on record with the NASS registrar.  If the horse’s parents are already on record with the registrar as being clear, SCID and CA tests will not be necessary and the horse will be recorded as clear. 

Additional Information:

Fees:

NASS Member Evaluation Fee per horse: $50.00. 

NASS Member Inspection Fee per horse: $200.00 

NASS Member Branding Fee per horse: $30.00 

Non-NASS Members must pay a $45.00 Non-Member Fee.


Payment received 45 days prior to inspection date will receive a 10% discount.


Please review the NASS Breeding Guidelines and other important documents posted below for detailed information about the requirements for horses to participate at NASS Inspection Sites.

Inspection Sites

2023 Inspection Sites

It’s time for NASS to begin the planning process for possible 2023 NASS Inspection SItes: 


Inspection sites are based upon demand. Therefore, NASS needs to hear from any NASS members, owners of NASS-registered horses and other eligible horses, who are interested in participating at and/or hosting a site. One may also attend as volunteer, spectator,  learner judge and/or to present other horses (breed demonstrations or as a breed ambassador). 


See the 2023 Inspection Letter posted below for more information.


Please submit a NASS Inspection Planning Feedback Form to provide the registry with the basic information needed to start this process, for example the number of horses, the location, etc. 


Payment is not necessary during the initial stages of the planning process. However, all required documentation must be on file with the registry and all payments due must be paid in full prior to horses being inspected, evaluated and branded.
