The list above does not cover all class II horses inscribed into vol X of the studbook.

It raises concerns that the control system of correct registration procedures does not work satisfactory.

Errors such as permitting horses into the studbook that according to the rules should be excluded are not acceptable. At this point it has not been possible for me to verify the number of class II horses that were not inscribed into vol X of the General Studbook.

The question now is if the class II horses inscribed into the studbook and their offspring should be removed from the closed section of the studbook and entered into the open studbook together with the partbreds.
