Deutsche version IBOP
Responsibility The IBOP is conducted by the Koninklijke Vereniging "Het Friesch Paarden-Stamboek" (KFPS).
Purpose The purpose of this examination is to establish a horse’s suitability for various uses and to do so with the greatest degree of objectivity. Every horse aged four or older can be presented for this examination (riding test, driving test or show driving test). Participation in more than one test on the same day is possible. Horses can be entered for the examination via the KFPS. The results of an IBOP test can be used for obtaining the star, crown or model titles (see the KFPS registration regulations).
Location The KFPS selects a location for conducting the testing and will arrange for any necessary equipment. The IBOP can be held indoors or outdoors as determined by the KFPS.
Countries other than the Netherlands In some cases, deviations from the rules in regard to how the examination is to be administered shall be permitted for IBOP tests conducted in countries other than the Netherlands. Exactly what these are and whether they will be permitted shall be decided upon by the KFPS. Jury members must be qualified by the KFPS.
Participation Regardless of discipline, a horse may participate in an IBOP no more than twice a year. This examination may be administered on the same day or on two different days. If the maximum number of two IBOP tests are being conducted on the same day, these will have to be in two different disciplines.
Presentation method All tests will be ridden/driven individually. After the completion of the IBOP riding test, the participants will return to the ring in groups of two or three. At the request of the jury, the participants can be asked to repeat one or more of the components.
The tests as well as an explanation of the assessment criteria can be found in the most recent edition of the KFPS test booklet.
Training/basic condition The horse being presented can be excluded for reasons to be determined by the jury committee (illness, lameness, etc.). The examinations can also be terminated by the jury committee if, in its opinion, the horse is not being presented or ridden in an acceptable manner.
The owner of the horse can determine whether he/she will present the horse him/herself or whether this task will be conducted by a third party. Changing riders for various tests is also permitted.
Vaccination Vaccinations should be listed in the passport. A vaccination certificate shall be considered valid only when it can be confirmed that it applies to the horse participating in the IBOP and when it shows that this horse has received the following influenza vaccinations: A. A basic vaccination series consisting of 2 vaccinations in which the second was given at least 3 and no more than 6 weeks after the first. B. This is to have been followed by an annual vaccination that was administered no more than 12 months after the previous vaccination. C. The last vaccination must have been administered at least 1 week prior to the IBOP. Confirmation of vaccinations must be supplied in the form of a certificate signed/initialed and stamped by the veterinarian who administered the vaccination. The proof of vaccination (passport) must be sent for confirmation to the KFPS secretariat prior to the IBOP. Any horses that have not been properly vaccinated shall not be admitted to the testing site and shall not be assessed.
Members of the jury The jury consists of two qualified jury members who have been appointed by the KFPS.
Results of the examinations The jury will record its findings on a certificate. In addition to the scores, the committee shall also provide a brief explanation and any other significant information if necessary. To authenticate the certificate, the chairperson of the jury or another officer designated by the KFPS dates and signs it. The chairperson of the jury will notify the interested parties of the findings at the conclusion of the examinations. The interested parties will be sent the certificate after the test has been conducted. The findings will also be published in Phryso and on the KFPS website.
