I. REGISTRY MISSION:

Matthew López, PA-C, and Danette Kerr formed The Thoroughbred & Anglo Sport Registry (TASR^®) in 2002 with the mission to:

• Register and promote thoroughbred horses in sporting disciplines other than track racing as governed by the TASR^® Thoroughbred Stud Book.
• Allow a means for thoroughbred horses conceived AI to be dully registered as most Jockey Clubs presently do not allow registration of thoroughbreds conceived AI.
• Correctly register "odd-colored" thoroughbreds such as duns, palominos and pintos that the JC currently registers as "chestnuts" or "golden bays."
• Register and promote Anglos in sporting disciplines as governed by the TASR^® Anglo Stud Book.
• Register and promote sport ponies in sporting disciplines as governed by the TASR^® Sport Pony Stud Book.
• Provide a General Stud Book for the registration and promotion of horses being 1) 25% TB heritage; 2) Warmbloods of crossbreeding, i.e. Trakehner x Hanoverian etc; and 3) ALL horses of crossbreeding.

*Please refer to Rules & Regulations for each of the four Stud Books as each one differs.

V. GLOSSARY OF TERMS:

3. Anglo-Remount – A general umbrella, "catch-all" term applied to an Anglo cross that just does not sound correct when spoken using the Anglo prefix, i.e. "Anglo-Saddlebred." The Saddlebred root just does not "ring" with the Anglo prefix; however, owner can opt to have Anglo-Saddlebred listed on Certificate of Registration if requested. Anglo-Remount also designates horses of Grade x TB breeding.

21. Warmblood – A horse with both hotblood and coldblood in its pedigree
22. Warmblood Cross &/or Warmblood of Crossbreeding – A warmblood horse not of pure breeding but being the progeny of two different warmbloods or other said crosses. A Trakehner x Hanoverian is an example.

Diagram of Anglo Generations (based on % of thoroughbred blood)

• 1st generation: Trakehner x TB = Anglo-Trakehner¹
• 2nd generation: Anglo-Trakehner¹ x TB = Anglo-Trakehner²
• 3rd generation: Anglo-Trakehner² x TB = Anglo-Trakehner³
• 4th generation: Anglo-Trakehner³ x Trakehner or TB = Anglo-Trakehner⁴

This applies for ALL Anglo crosses not just Anglo-Trakehners as illustrated here.
