Registrations

The New Forest Pony Breeding & Cattle Society is the Breed Society and holders of the New Forest Pony Stud Book. They provide full passports for pure bred and part bred New Forest ponies in all countries that do not have an approved daughter stud book.

The New Forest Pony Association of Australia Inc does not provide registrations, but we do offer DNA testing facility for The New Forest Pony Breeding & Cattle Society in Australia, through the Australian Equine Genetics Research Center in Queensland.

As we do not currently have an approved daughter stud book in Australia all ponies may be registered directly with The New Forest Pony Breeding & Cattle Society for entry into The New Forest Pony Stud Book.
