Simple question... I have a branded Hanoverian mare with her passport. So, if I bred her to an approved Oldenburg stallion, that is not Hanoverian approved, the foal could be registered Hanoverian, considered Hanoverian and eligible for mmb, elite status if qualified?
Only if the Oldenburg stallion is within the top discipline-dependant range for the performance or sire rankings of the WBFSH
OR
the Oldenburg stallion is a top young stallion that has not yet met the full approval requirements (e.g., a winner of a 30-day test, but has not yet met the follow on performance and/or full testing requirements).

That sounds like encouragement to me and I just thought it would be smart to do that "intelligently"; however, feel free to be dependent or independent with or without intelligence.

mare owners have always decided for themselves, and the Verband can only control the stallion direction--which they use to improve the mare base and to move it in a particular direction.
without snippy comments, this post could be more useful to some who would like to become better informed on current developments.

Diane - you made me laugh!
I'm expecting that the Verband and AHS will have a few queries this coming year or two as to whether a stallion falls within guidelines.
