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.

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.
