FEI/WBFSH world rankings for horses and studbooks
From 2004 onwards the International Equestrian Federation, FEI, produces the world-rankings for horses and studbooks. WBFSH delivers the pedigree information of the horses involved. The starting date of the rankings is 1st October each year. During the first three months of the calendar year - October, November and December - the final results of the preceding year are published. From January onwards results of the running year are published and updated each month. Rankings are produced for the disciplines showjumping, dressage and eventing. Apart from the individual rankings of each discipline, the studbook rankings are produced.
FEI Rankings and the registered horses
In 2003 FEI sent an excel file with 6.843 horses to WBFSH, where 2.093 were registered as "unknown", so it was obvious that we needed the help of the studbooks to complete the pedigree information. This help is needed each year.
How to correct pedigree information in the rankings:
1. Once a year (in August) FEI sends an excel file with all registered competition horses to WBFSH
2. WBFSH devides the excel file and sends it to each member studbook with only the horses belonging to this studbook.
3. The studbook has to complete and return the pedigree data to WBFSH
4. WBFSH send the corrected ecxel file with all horses to FEI
5. FEI corrects the new information in the database
6. FEI produces rankings
As this is a very comprehensive work, we kindly ask you to pay attention to the excel file coming from WBFSH and only to send in the missing/corrected information once a year.
The WBFSH breeding guide
Because of the active web-rankings published during the year, the WBFSH breeding guide CD is no longer produced.
