All the animals must present the Certificate of Origin (Blue Book) and Spermogram, with the animal's identification, correct conformation of the external sexual organs, semen characteristics, and the veterinarian's confirmation of the capacity to be a reproducer, without which it cannot be inspected.
The inscriptions, have to be sent until 10 days before the competition.
In the case of mares, we would be grateful if you could inform us by 31st January of the number and location of your mares for the purposes of the Commission's Visit.
