do I have to do to get my Friesian registered? |

Every year, there are Kuerings throughout North America to judge the horses. At this time a microchip is placed in their neck, hair taken for DNA examinations and each animal will be branded. Each horse will be judged individually and receive a judging documentation with the achieved scores. For dates and and more information please look at the newspage of FHS. Registration fees apply. |
