Racing in the Kingdom has forged forward with big steps since the publication of Volume III in 2009. Today, 64 racing days are conducted consisting of 10 races per day. The purses for two-year-olds have more than doubled during this period. This fact has encouraged experienced breeders and owners to import new bloods into the Kingdom as well as attracted new breeders and owners to enter the industry. The thoroughbred population in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been on a steady move upward. The foal crop has on average increased by 9% per annum and the breeding stock by 6%, in part due to a large influx of broodmares during the last two years. The increased exposure of thoroughbred racing in both traditional and new media channels has made the Saudi breeders increasingly aware of the industry and the integrity of the breed. As a consequence, they have committed themselves to improve the bloodlines of their broodmares bands and the quality of their stallions. Equestrian Club Saudi Arabian Stud Book February 2014 ii SAUDI ARABIAN THOROUGHBRED STUD BOOK RULES AND REGULATIONS 1. ELIGIBILITY: 1.1 To be eligible for entry into the Saudi Arabian Stud Book the horse must: 1.1.1 Be the product of a mating between a sire and dam both of which are recorded in a Thoroughbred Stud Book approved by the International Stud Book Committee. OR 1.1.2 The horse must prove satisfactorily eight recorded crosses consecutively with horses as described in 1.1 including the cross of which it is the progeny, and that its promotion to Thoroughbred status is unanimously approved by the International Stud Book Committee. 1.2 Although, a horse may qualify under 1.1 above, the Saudi Arabian Thoroughbred Stud Book (SASB) has the right to refuse to record a horse in its Stud Book if the horse cannot prove satisfactorily eight recorded crosses consecutively (including the cross of which it is the progeny) with horses described in 1.1.1 and 1.2.1, but such refusal shall not be effective unless it is confirmed by the unanimous decision of the International Stud Book Committee. 2. REGISTRATION FOR BREEDING: 2.1 Before any thoroughbred stallion or mare can be registered in the SASB as breeding stock the animal’s identity must be established. This is achieved by: a) The completion of a registration form issued by the SASB, recording the animal’s registered name, colour, age, pedigree, present owner and previous history so far as known. b) The provision of current markings of the animal, taken by a veterinary surgeon. c) The establishment of the DNA profile or bloodytype of the animal. In respect of all animals this will require the provision of a current blood sample taken by a veterinary surgeon except for broodmares whose bloodtype has been officially established, unless for reasons of doubt or incompleteness a current blood sample of the mare is considered necessary. It is a condition of import that the horse’s DNA profile or bloodtype, as taken at initial registration, is provided by that horse’s country of origin and sent directly to the SASB on request. 2.2 In the case of all animals which have been imported, an Export Certificate identifying the animal, and issued by the Stud Book Authority iii of the animal’s country of birth, must be received from the country of export. For imported animals visiting Saudi Arabia for less than nine months the requirement of the provision of an Export Certificate may be replaced by the lodgement of the animal’s identity document issued by the Stud Book Authority (SBA) with which it was registered and currently endorsed by the relevant authority of the country from which it has travelled. 2.3 No animal may be registered as breeding stock retrospectively, after it has died, except at the discretion of the SASB and only if the animal’s DNA or blood type has been officially established prior to the animal’s death. 3. OWNERSHIP 3.1 For every stallion or mare registered as breeding stock the name and address of the animal’s owner must be lodged with the SASB. 3.1.1 This requirement is necessary for the purpose of administration and in the case of a Broodmare for the recording of the breeder of the foal. It should not be construed that the records maintained by the Saudi Arabian Stud Book give the applicant legal title over the horse. 3.1.2 For the purpose of these Conditions of Entry the breeder is the person or entity who has been recorded as above as being the owner of the mare at the time that her foal was dropped. 3.1.3 Owners of breeding stock are obliged to contact the SASB to prove details of any changes of ownership. 4. FOAL REGISTRATION 4.1 Breeding Returns 4.1.1 For the produce of a mare to be registered in the SASB the following requirements must be met: 4.1.1.1 A microchip approved by the Saudi Arabian Stud Book must be inserted subcutaneously in the neuchal ligament in the left or near side of the foal, approximately 2 inches below the mane, by a veterinarian authorised by the SASB or the Equestrian Club of Riyadh. 4.1.1.2 An official Certificate of Covering must be received by the SASB, completed and signed by the stallion owner confirming all dates of covering in the previous breeding season, and confirming the stallion owner’s satisfaction as to the correct identity of the mare and declaring that the mare was served naturally and that artificial insemination, embryo transfer, cloning or any other method of genetic manipulation was not used. If the broodmare was covered by two or more stallions a separate certificate for each stallion is required. 4.1.1.3 An official Foal Registration form completed and signed by the Breeder giving the required details of the produce, namely the colour, sex, date of iv birth and country of foaling must be lodged. The birth of twins must be indicated. 4.1.1.4 A Foal Identification Certificate stating the parentage, colour, sex, date of birth of the produce completed by the Breeder, and showing a written and graphic description of the markings of the produce, prepared signed and dated by a veterinary surgeon. 4.1.1.4.1 Markings should be taken before the foal is four months old and as near as to this deadline as possible. 4.1.1.4.2 A minimum number of identifying features is required. Identity certificates should incorporate both a narrative, typed or completed in block capitals, and a graphic description. 4.1.1.4.3 DNA and blood samples from the Foal, and where necessary, the broodmare and stallion, each taken by a certified veterinarian, to confirm that the mare and stallion qualify as the parents of the foal by DNA or blood typing. DNA and bloodtype information is not made public but is supplied on demand when a horse is exported to the Stud Book Authority (SBA) of the importing country. 4.1.1.5 Payment of the relevant foal registration fee. 4.1.2 In the event of no live produce the official Foaling Report must still be completed indicating whether the broodmare was barren, aborted early or slipped, or that the produce was born dead or has died. A return should also be lodged if the mare was not covered in the previous season. Failure to report this information will result in the term "No Return" appearing on the broodmare’s produce line for that year in the SASB. The owner should also notify the SASB if the broodmare has died. 4.2 Incomplete Returns 4.2.1 Returns which are incorrect or incomplete, or which lack any of the required supporting documentation, cannot be accepted and will be returned to the Breeder for completion. 4.2.2 The rate of fee payable for registration of produce will be the rate in force on the date when the completed return is received. 4.2.3 Produce for which a completed return has been made in all respects except the provision of required DNA or blood samples will be accepted at the fee applicable on the date the return is received, provided that the necessary DNA or blood samples are received within two months from that date. If the required DNA or blood samples are not provided within two months, the return will not be accepted and will be returned to the breeder for completion, and will only be accepted under the provisions of the first two paragraphs of these conditions. 4.3 Service to produce an eligible foal v 4.3.1 A foal is not eligible to be recorded in the SASB unless: (a) It is the product of a natural service or covering which is the physical mounting of a thoroughbred mare by a thoroughbred stallion.
