The registry has declared that it will now only register horses born in the original area of breeding (sorry, I couldn't tell you exactly where that is). This has raised a stink because the spanish riding school has been breeding purebreds for centuries, and they are not included. I am afraid I do not know more as it is a magazine reference which has been tidied up somewhere, but I believe the reason was to prevent some of the crossbreeding that has been going on.
