The FHANA Board of Directors met on Wednesday July 19th, 2023.  Here are some of the highlights:

• The Sports Committee proposed several changes to the Lifetime Achievement Award
  • The award can now be earned posthumously
  • Advertisements are not part of the criteria as an achievement for this award.
  • Two other items were brought forward and were sent back to the committee for further evaluation
• The BBII Adhoc committee presented the following motion:  Any application for a request to approve a licensed foal book stallion in North America must be investigated by a committee to ensure the application is valid and meets all the conditions outlined in the KFPS policy as it relates to approval of a licensed foal book stallion by specific region/geographical area.  This motion was approved and will discussed further with the KFPS.
• The Breeding Committee brought forward several items to discuss with the KFPS:
  • KFPS to add to the evaluation of quality by the addition of a low kinship mark on the linear score sheet.
  • To request the KFPS restore the shaded areas on the linear score sheet sent to the owners.
  • To restore the advanced search on the KFPS website
  • Restore the yearly breeding numbers of approved stallions on the KFPS website
• There was an update on the SNP testing, and until further notice, this item is on hold for the time being.
