Countries where a proper BWP district exists (North America and Hungary) The foal identification (description) is made up by a specialised representative wo passes by during a certain period of the year. The local secretariat takes care of the registration, not the main secretariat in Belgium.
Countries which do not have own BWP operations The original service card has to be sent to the BWP secretariat in Belgium and the registration can take place in two ways :
- the breeder brings his mare and foal to the country border and meets there with the foal identifier from Belgium
OFWEL
-
the breeder sends the following data in one package to the BWP secretariat :
- photographs of the foal, showing clearly the markings
- a photograph of the foal together with the dam
- a written and drawn description of the foal, made up by a veterinarian
- some thirty hairs with root from the tail or the mane of the foal (to check the origin)
