Registration Information

Registration is open to all horses and foals that have one parent fully registered as a Knabstrupper with Knabstrupperforeningen for Danmark (KNN), a registry of the European Union that registers Knabstruppers, a North, Central or South American affiliate of a registry of the European Union that registers Knabstruppers, or the American Knabstrupper Association.

In addition to this absolute requirement, the following requirements must be met:

3.  Photos of the horse/foal showing the horse from both sides, front and back have been received by IHKR,

4.  A DNA parental verification test has been performed with results verifying that one parent is a registered full Knabstrupper (or other method found acceptable by IHKR has been accomplished to prove parentage), and
