ICS Nederland, Studbook for Irish Cobs

ICS (Irish Cob Society) Nederland, studbook for Irish Cobs, is the largest (over 8.000 registered Cobs) studbook for coloured-horses-with-leg-feathering.
Our working area includes The Netherlands, France, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Ireland, Austria, Estonia, italy and the Czech Republic.
ICS Nederland is an approved studbook for Irish Cobs and issues EU approved equine passports

Goal

ICS Nederland's goal is to support and promote the breeding of good quality Irish Cobs and the use of Irish Cobs as leisure horse in riding and driving.
To realize this goal inspections are organized where Irish Cobs are valued and information is provided on Internet and in the club magazine Cobstukken.

Procedures

The Irish Cob studbook is an "open" studbook: any horse or pony matching the Irish Cob Breed Standard can, after examination by a qualified ICS Nederland inspector, be included in the studbook. No horse, except for direct progeny of two registered Irish Cobs, can be entered in the studbook without being judged by a qualified inspector.
