There is a rule change in order to be on the stallion list starting 2019 and with regards to stallions enrolling for DWB stallion licensing as of 2019.
Danish Warmblood has decided that in order to be on the stallion list starting 2019 the stallion needs to be tested for WFFS. This test must be ordered via NADWA and only tests done at U C Davis will be accepted. The fee for this test is $30,00.
The result of the test will be published on our stallion list so the mare owners can decide if they want to use the stallion. A positive test will not have any influence on the stallions grading results. If you wish to keep your stallion on our stallion list you will need to order the WFFS test no later than December 31, 2018. Stallions without the WFFS test will be removed from our stallion list until WFFS results are available.
In terms of stallions for licensing the WFFS test must be made before enrolling and the test result must accompany the entry form. In accordance with the rule regarding stallion list, the test result will not influence on the stallion getting licensed or not.
