Registration
Registration enters your animal into the either the Palomino register/studbook, Cremello register/studbook or Cream Dilute register/studbook. This can be done at the time you apply for a British Palomino Society Passport if your animal does not already have a passport or if it does, we can overstamp your existing passport.

The British Palomino Society no longer inspects equines in order for them to be eligible for registration. Instead a DNA test will be performed to ensure they are palomino or cream dilute.
RULES FOR REGISTRATION OF PALOMINOS & Cream Dilutes
1: The breeder of an animal for the purposes of registration is the bona fide owner of its dam at the time of its birth.
2: Any person making application for the registration of an animal with the Society shall be deemed to have agreed to conform with the standing Rules for Registration.
3: Transfers of ownership of a registered animal must be notified to the Secretary within 30 days by the purchaser. This is done by returning the BPS passport or a BPS Transfer of Ownership Form, to the BPS office with the appropriate fee. The passport or transfer form must be signed by the seller to confirm the sale.
4: Any person may register a Prefix with the Society. This he may use for all animals bred by him, subject to acceptance by the Central Prefix Register. No person may change the registered name of an animal.
5: For an animal already registered in another recognised stud book or register to be acceptable for registration with the Society, application for registration must be made in the name registered in such stud book or register together with its stud book or register reference; and that name will appear as the name of the animal when registered with the Society. The other Society passport should accompany the registration application form.
The British Palomino Society Statement of Zootech recognition after 1 January 2021.
From 1 January 2021, trade with the EU will be on ‘third country’ terms.
As it currently stands, because of the requirement to know the full pedigree of all equines within our registers this means the British Palomino Society is no longer able to extend breeding programmes into EU Member States, nor are we be able to register animals that are not kept in the UK. We would remind you that our passports are ID passports and not breeding passports.
