The CPBS introduced an amnesty for the uninspected progeny of Class 3 parents on 1st March 2024, which allows for these ponies to be presented for inspection and to be classified according to the Studbook rules.

The purpose of this amnesty is to draw in breeding lines which may have been otherwise lost. The amnesty registration period is from 1st March 2024 until 31st October 2025 inclusive and owners of such progeny can present them for classification at the regular inspections organised by the Society between those dates.

This amnesty will cease following inspections in the Autumn of 2025.

Please note: Closing date for each centre is 8 working days prior to the event or earlier if they reach full capacity

As of 2026, with the exception of geldings, both parents must be entered in Class 1, Class 2, Class Over Height or Class E to be eligible for inspection.
