Frederiksborg horse

Membership evidence

Record the subject level and evidence behind each Frederiksborg designation.

1. Does this record describe the breed, a defined breeding population, or an identified horse? boundary
2. Which registration or pedigree document supports the Frederiksborg designation? provenance

Ancestry is not registration

Document historical and pedigree connections without automatically classifying descendants as Frederiksborg.

1. Is Frederiksborg the horse's registered breed or an ancestor's breed within another studbook? boundary
2. Which pedigree links substantiate any claimed connection to historical Frederiksborg stock? provenance

Reference versus observation

NordGen lists ideal heights of 160-165 cm for mares and 163-168 cm for stallions; these are reference ideals, not individual measurements. [NordGen breed profile](https://www.nordgen.org/our-work/farm-animals/nordic-native-breeds/frederiksborg-horse/)

1. What is the measured withers height, and at what age and date was it obtained? measurement
2. Which current standard governs interpretation of size, coat color, and markings? provenance

Attributable type assessment

Represent conformation and gait judgments as assessed observations rather than automatic consequences of breed membership.

1. Which Frederiksborg assessment rubric was used for the head, neck, topline, limbs, and movement? provenance
2. What scores and explanatory observations did the assessor record? measurement

Record reconciliation

Track the evidence connecting physical identity, registration, and recorded parentage.

1. Do the horse's identification evidence and studbook record refer to the same animal? provenance
2. Are parentage discrepancies, missing ancestors, or conflicting registrations unresolved? boundary

Approval scope

FHF organizes breed assessments; the model must preserve each decision's scope and governing rule version. [FHF brochure](https://fhf.dk/onewebmedia/Brochure-FHF-english.pdf)

1. What grading or breeding decision applies to this horse, and for which period? provenance
2. Which requirements remain before the proposed mating can produce offspring eligible for the intended registration? action

Demonstrated task capacity

Use dated observations to establish which riding or driving tasks the individual has demonstrated.

1. Which ridden or driven tasks has this horse completed, with what handler and conditions? provenance
2. What additional assessment is needed before the intended rider, driver, or harness-team assignment? action

Reputation versus readiness

Record individual limitations instead of translating breed descriptions of willingness or versatility into guarantees.

1. What current soundness, fitness, and handling observations affect this horse's proposed work? measurement
2. Do age, reproductive state, training gaps, or observed behavior require changing the proposed task? action

Dated population evidence

Treat conservation status as an attributed assessment of a defined breed population.

1. Which year and territory do the counts cover, and do they count living horses, births, or active breeders? measurement
2. Which authority and assessment method support the reported breed-risk category? provenance
3. Does the record distinguish Danish breed origin from current managed distribution? boundary

Genetic contribution

Assess pedigree completeness, lineage representation, and breeding-material availability before asserting a conservation benefit.

1. How related are the proposed parents, using which pedigree depth or genomic method? measurement
2. Which underrepresented ancestry could the mating retain, and what evidence supports that designation? provenance
3. Is suitable conserved semen documented and available under the applicable access and breeding conditions? action
