The Irish Draught Horse Society of Canada is initiating an application to incorporate under Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Animal Pedigree Act. Approval of this incorporation grants exclusive recognition to the Irish Draught Horse Society of Canada for managing the Irish Draught and Irish Draught Sport Horse Stud books and registry in Canada.
Q&As
Why, after operating over 20 years, has IDHSC decided to incorporate under Canada’s Animal Pedigree Act (APA) now?
A: Incorporating the IDHSC under APA the Irish Draught (ID) and Irish Draught Sport Horse (IDSH) will become recognized, distinct breeds in Canada, and the IDHSC will be a legal entity to register the Irish Draught in Canada.
If IDHSC incorporates under the APA, how does this affect my horses already in the registry?
A: Our application requests horses listed in IDHSC’s database, along with the Main Studbook and filial societies (GB and NA) be recognized.
How can I support IDHSC’s application to incorporate under APA?
A: Submitting your endorsement for the IDHSC’s incorporation through an email or letter will give the IDHSC more documentation for supporting the application. As a breeder of Irish Draughts or Irish Draught Sport Horses it is a positive move forward to have these horses recognized as distinct breeds in Canada. IDHSC thanks you for your support.
