The management of a purebred horse breeding programme, for example the ‘Haflinger’ breed in Switzerland – with the exception of South Tyrol/Italy, the birthplace of the Haflinger breed, which belonged to Tyrol-Austria before 1918 – is the responsibility of the Haflinger Horse Breeding Association of Tyrol-Austria. Starting a horse breeding programme with UZB (Original Stud Book) status:

1. ⇒ The breeding establishment acquires a ‘Haflinger’ and decides to breed this horse and produce foals by joining the stud book responsible for this horse as a member.

2. ⇒ Membership of the breeding association is determined by the pedigree of the breeding foal, e.g. breeding association, breeding federation, breeding cooperative.

3. ⇒ The breeding association or breeding co-operative is a member of the breeding organisation; there may be approximately three breeding organisations per breed (organisations maintaining the original stud book).

4. ⇒ Each breeding organisation is a member of the umbrella organisation, in that the breeding organisations belong to the umbrella organisation, e.g. Haflinger-Pentagon Sàrl-GmbH.

5. ⇒ The umbrella association brings together the umbrella organisations of the organisations maintaining the original studbooks, which are members of the umbrella association. The umbrella association comprises the Swiss breed-specific umbrella organisations recognised since 1960: Swiss Warmblood, Haflinger and FM – Franches-Montagnes pur-sang.
