Registration rules and Studbook regulations
Article 1 General Provisions
1. These regulations were adopted under the provisions of the Statutes and the Rules of the Association “The Dutch Studbook of Tinkers.” The provisions in
these regulations are implemented in accordance with Council Directive
European Communities of July 26, 1990 (90/427 / EC) and the breeding decision in 1994
(Official Gazette 1994/696)
2.
3. The memorandum Plan Welfare in the Horsekeeping sector is considered in its entirety
integrally included in these regulations.
4.
5. The objective of the NSvT is to preserve and enhance the Tinker. The breeding goal
and, if necessary, accompanying programs for registration and breeding serve to realize the objective.
6. The regulations of the NSvT also apply to a subsidiary studbook,
or an associated branch that is associated with this studbook. The rules and regulations of a subsidiary studbook or associated branch may well be more stringent.
Article 2 Origin of studbook, subsidiary studbook and branches
1. NSvT is the studbook for horses of the Tinker type.
2. Subsidiary studbooks are studbooks in EU member states, which register Tinkers and
have obtained a recognition of the member nation where they are established.
3. Subsidiary studbooks are authorized to register horses and a private breeding
implement comprising among others the selection and approval of horses,
in accordance with the principles established by the primary studbook.
4. Descendants of horses registered with a subsidiary studbook with its own
registration and breeding program, can be registered by the NSvT,
if the applicant is a member of the NSvT. Horse registration takes place in accordance
EU Decision 96/78 / EC.
5. Horses registered by a subsidiary studbook with a certificate issued by this studbook, can be signed in by NSvT if the applicant is a member of the NSvT. These horses maintain the certification of the subsidiary studbook.
6. Subsidiary studbooks will be given the possibility to let registration and organisation
of breeding programs (selection, inspections, etc.)be carried out by the NSvT. This is
possible only at the request of the subsidiary studbook. For this, an official contract of agreement between the NSvT and the subsidiary studbook will be made. Horses of members of the subsidiary studbooks are recorded in the same registers as horses of members of the NSvT. The studbook certificates are also identical.
6. In countries where there is (still) no subsidiary studbook present, the NSvT takes care of registration and execution of the breeding program, if applicable, in association with a branch in such a country. With a foreign branch abroad NSvT can form an associative liaison.
Article 3 Identification and Registration
1. The NSvT chairman, is mandated by the PVE to give out equine passports.
2. On the issuance of equine passports, not the statutes of the NSvT apply, but the Regulation “Identification and Registration” of the PVE.

chairman of the board is an administrative act within the meaning of the General
Administrative Law, can be brought against any decision respecting this law.
5. The application for a duplicate passport must be accompanied with a statement of
a veterinarian or passport consultant who has read and confirmed the transponder number of the relevant horse. A copy of the declaration of loss or theft should be required.
6. NSvT is neither responsible nor liable for the issuance of a horse passport or a duplicate of a horse passport, provided that the protocols and work instructions of the PVE be followed.
7. After the death of a registered horse the horse passport should be sent to the studbook office stating the fact, within two weeks. The studbook office may, at the request of the registered, return the passport after making it invalid.
8. The Association can not be held liable for incorrect entry data in the horse passport. the registered owner is obliged to check the passport issued and to report any deficiencies promptly to the association.

recognized Studbook
Offspring of above mentioned stallions are registered in the Studbook, only if the mothers of these foals are registered in the Studbook, Side Book I or Registry Basic.
Article 8 The Side Book I in the main section
Horses whose mother is registered in the main section (studbook) or secondary section (Register Basic) and of which the sire is a stallion registered in Register Basic foalbook or
Studbook foalbook but at the time of conception had no breeding permit, are to be enrolled in Side Book I. Horses descending from an at the moment of conception, rejected stallion in the studbook or Basic Register, are registered in Side Book I. Progeny of a Sidebred I mare can be registered in the Studbook if they descended from a stallion approved by NSvT or an approved Registry Basic stallion.
Article 9 Register Basic in the secondary section
In the above mentioned section of the NSvT, horses are registered who are of unknown parentage or semi unknown parentage but who were themselves approved and admitted through an official NSvT Inspection.
Article 10 Crossbreed Program
These are horses whose parent(s) are registered in another stud book, and who are admitted by a regular inspection of the NSvT to the studbook. These horses must meet the same criteria as those laid down for the Tinker to be registered.
These horses are included in the secondary section, the Registry Base.
Horses from the crossbreeding program, whose parents are not approved by the NSvT are registered in the secondary section, the Registry Base, with the indication that the parents don’t have a Studbook certificate. The breeds in the crossbreeding program are: Irish Cob, Gypsy Cob, Gypsy Vanner, Coloured Horse Traveller Bangs, Black and White, Traditional Cob. If no NSvT Regulations can be applied,the board will decide. Horses in the breeding program retain their own racial identity and namings. Breeding products, descendants of these horses are entered into the appropriate class as Tinker.
Article 11 Aid Register of General Book
Horses that are or may not be admitted through a regular inspection to the studbook
are registered in the Aid Register of General Book.
Article 12 Studbook certificate
1. All horses registered in one of the classes of the NSvT aregiven a studbook certificate by NSvT. The color of the license is depending on the class in which the horse is entered:
