| Hungarian Horse Association of America
Registry Information
The Hungarian Horse Association, established in 1966, was
formed to record horses and their offspring imported after World
War II which originally came from Hungary. They included the United
states Remount importations sold to private breeders in their
dispersion sales, Countess Judith Gyurky's horses that she personally
brought out of Hungary and later imported, and some mares imported
by Tempel Smith. Baroness Margit Bessenyey and the Cooksley Ranch
established their breeding herds from the Remount sales and Jim
Edwards purchased Honpolgar 4 from the Remount. These Kisber Felvers
were developed over many years using registered Thoroughbred or
Arabian (especially Shagya Arabians developed at Babolna in Hungary)
outcrosses. From this small but exceptionally pre-potent gene
pool of horses came the Hungarian in North America, who is recognized
today as a serious competition horse.
The purpose of the Hungarian Horse Association of America is to
record, promote, and help foster the development of the pre-World
War II Kisberi-type horses and the crosses thereof.

Hungarian
Felver Book: shall consist of horses with a five generation
pedigree consisting entirely of Felver, Thoroughbred, Arabian,
and/or Shagya blood. The approved outcross use of Thoroughbred,
Arabian, Shagya or a combination thereof must be registered
with a recognized association registry. DNA testing may be required.
Either the sire or the dam must be a registered Hungarian Felver
with the Hungarian Horse Association of America. To remain in
the Felver Book, breeders must cross back to a registered HHAA
Felver every third generation. The Felver book preserves the
original purpose of the Association, which is to preserve the
bloodlines of the horses according to pre- World War II Kisber
State Stud standards. The names of all registered Felvers will
be preceded by “Hungarian” or “H” as
in Hungarian Big John or H. Big John.
Hungarian Sportlo Book: will
consist of HHAA Felvers outcrossed with European Approved Warmbloods
approved for breeding by their respective registry. There must
be a minimum of 25% Felver blood in the foal. For the purposes
of calculating the percentage of Felver blood in a Sportlo pedigree,
registered Thoroughbreds may be counted as Felver in such cases.
The name of all registered Sportlos will be preceded by “Hungarian
Sportlo” or “HS” as in Hungarian Sportlo Pik
Brado or HS Pik Brado.
Hungarian Fajta (Part-bred) Book:
shall record any offspring of a Felver or Sportlo HHAA registered
horse to any other horse that is not eligible to be included
in the Felver or Sportlo book. The names of all registered Fajtas
will be preceded by “Hungarian Part-Bred” or “HPB”
as in Hungarian Part-Bred Flicka or HPB Flicka.
Hungarian Riding Ponies:
shall record the development of pony foundation stock with the
use of horses approved for HHAA Felver breeding crossed with HHAA
acceptable pony breeds to produce Hungarian Riding Ponies. The
names of all registered Hungarian Riding Ponies will be preceded
by “Hungarian Riding Pony” or “HP” as
in Hungarian Riding Pony Dolly or HP Dolly.

Foal Registration: For a foal
that is being recorded by January 31 of the year following the
foaling year, the fee is $65.00. A foal recorded after January
31 following the foaling year, the fee will be $115.00 for geldings
and $165.00 for a mare or stallion.
If you do not own the stallion, a breeding certificate signed
by the stallion owner or his agent must accompany the application.
If the stallion is not recorded with the Felver or Sportlo book,
include a copy of the registration papers with the owner’s name
and an extended pedigree (5 generations). If you are registering
in the Part Bred Registry also include 5 generation pedigree
or whatever information you have available. A Warmblood stallion
should include proof of breeding approval in his registry, same
for a mare. If the horse is not approved, you may apply to the
Breeder’s Board for approval by sending the Registrar a video,
pedigree, show records and a good conformation picture.
If you do not own the mare, a copy of your lease agreement must
accompany the application.

Partnership with
Europe
In 1994, Dr. Balazs Pataki, Executive Director of the Hungarian
National Kisber-Felver Breeding Association and Deputy Director
of the Horse Section of the National Agricultural Control
Institute, visited the United States. His purpose was to
visit our breeding herds and establish contact. Dr. Pataki
was accompanied by Dr. Egon Kamarasy, HHAA’s Vice President
for International Affairs and the late Captain Laszlo
Monostory. The latter was commandant of several
Hungarian stud farms, including the famous Kisber Stud Farm,
immediately prior to World War II and helped with the evacuation
of the Hungarian horses to Germany ahead of the Russian
invasion.
As a result of Dr. Pataki’s visit, an agreement was signed
August 17, 1994 by Dr. Pataki, as Executive Director of
the Kisber-Felver Association, and George Cooksley, then
President of the Hungarian Horse Association of America.
This agreement recognized our common desire to preserve
and improve the breed and improve marketing. Included in
the agreement was the mutual recognition of stud books as
correct and the method for recording horses in each others
registry was established.
