The German Arab Horse Society conducts and extensive evaluation of their potential breeding stallions twice a year. The purpose is to determine the best individuals to sire their horses of tomorrow. The test involves two days of evaluations after a thorough veterinary exam. All horses that are submitted for testing are shown in halter at a walk, trot, and canter on hard ground.
Judges then select the individuals they feel are of good quality to return for futher testing.
Horses who do not pass the approval of the judges on Day One do not participate in the final judging on Day Two, but are allowed to sire registered foals. The best horses from Day One return for further evaluation and repeat the procedure of Day One in a riding hall with a sand footing. They are then shown at liberty. Scoring is from 1 to 10 and ribbons are awarded. RU, on lease to.
