Central Prefix Register:
Breeders can apply to register a prefix. Registered prefixes are for breeders when naming their own home-bred stock.
This is managed by an external body, the Central Prefix Register. The CPR website is a useful guide to the availability of prefixes. Please contact CPR if you would like confirmation, or to reserve a prefix, prior to submitting this application to your breed society.
In the event of a dispute the Principal breeder shall have the right to retain the prefix.
Prefixes must be one distinctive word with a minimum of two letters and no hyphens, spaces, numerals or apostrophes.
Breeders and owners may not:
- Register any horse using a prefix registered to another breeder;
- Register or name a horse bred by someone else, using their own prefix or any variation of it (this includes horses purchased in Ireland that have been named there);
- Register a horse with this Society, using their own prefix that is registered with another PIO but not with this Society.
