Courtepin, 20 March 2026 — Haflinger-Pentagon Sàrl-GmbH, represented by Hansruedi Vonlanthen

 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.
