 Haflinger – Txx, Tha. In the spotlight

 

The tasks of the umbrella organisation

➡ To implement the Breeding Association Regulations (ZVO).

➡ Haflinger-Pentagon Sàrl-GmbH acts as the umbrella organisation on behalf of the Horse Breeding Ordinance, effective from 1 January 2026 – which, following a Federal Council decision, is to be a completely revised Animal Breeding Ordinance. Adapted for EU compatibility.

➡ One is entitled to ask: what has been completely revised?

➡ We are adopting the 60% that has been revised and revising the 40% that still needs to be removed and implemented.

➡ We oversee and coordinate the HPT breeding programme – Haflinger Horse Breeding Association Tyrol – with

➡ The divisions – sections: AAG – AAP – BCP – CXP – CXE.

➡ The UELN – life numbers of the foals in the provinces.

➡ The closed HB – Stud Book Txx – Tha and the open HB – Stud Book of the divisions/sections BCP – CXP – CXE

➡ The register of foals with a ‘Certificate of Origin’ and UELN, including for horses without a known origin or affiliation, with the option of registration.

➡ ‘Certificate of Origin’ for every organisation maintaining a stud book of origin.

➡ The UELN – “Universal Equine Life Number” system for each division – section:

756 as Txx – sequential number + year of birth

   „ „ Tha „ „ „ „

   „ „ BCP „ „ „ „                                            the alphanumeric UELN

   „ „ CXP „ „ „ „

   „ „ CXE „ „ „ „

➡ The breed ➡ Haflinger ⬅ has three organisations maintaining stud books: HPT – A.N.A.C.R.Ha.I. – FN and a breeding programme in which the three organisations are grouped together as a single breed.

➡ The expansion of the section for purebred, pure-bred studbook divisions serves the purpose of enabling the breed’s genetics to be utilised internationally as purebred and pure-bred outside the HPT, the Haflinger Horse Breeding Association of Tyrol, meaning –
There are also, outside the Tyrolean Breeding Association HPT-Ebbs, purebred, pure-bred ➡ Haflingers ⬅ with the Txx – Tha quality mark.

➡ The acceptance of pure breeding according to the HPT breeding programme is a masterpiece that is adopted in full by the umbrella organisation Haflinger-Pentagon Sàrl-GmbH.

➡ The completely revised Horse Breeding Ordinance in Switzerland, valid from 1 January 2026, requires implementation as stipulated by the legislature.

➡ The executive – the Federal Council – and the Federal Office (BLW) are responsible for implementation.
