Performance Merit System Rules for Purebreds

This document explains the performance merit rating for bronze, silver, and gold merit for multiple disciplines. Applies to purebred Irish Draughts only. Merit awards can be applied for after the horse’s competition career is over, or even after its death, so long as the results can be verified.

Farm Prefix Registration Application
Form
Breeders may register a prefix with the IDHSNA. The fee includes registration of the prefix with the Central Prefix Register in the United Kingdom. The prefix will be held exclusively for the owner's use in all IDHSNA Studbooks or Registries. IDHSNA will work to ensure there is no duplication of prefixes in the Irish Horse Register; but this we cannot guarantee.
