The Dutch Studbook for Tinkers NSvT was established in October 1999 and is the only officially recognized studbook for the Tinker in the Netherlands and Europe. The Dutch Studbook for Tinkers has been the European mother studbook since March 2000. The NSvT is an “open” studbook. Any horse that meets the breed standard of a Tinker, judged by the jury on an exterior inspection, can be entered into the studbook.
The NSvT aims to:
Monitoring, guaranteeing and promoting the breeding and use of the Tinker.

Identification & Registration.
Since January 2004, it is mandatory for every four-legged friend to have their own passport. Since then there is a national identification & registration system. Every owner of a horse, pony or donkey must have passports for all his animals and have the animals chipped. Registration can take place at the studbook. Foals must have a passport and chip within six months of birth. Chip exemption is no longer possible.
When applying, the owner is listed in the passport. However, the passport does not count as legal proof of ownership. The passport should always remain with the horse or pony and can be requested at any time. When sold, the passport remains with the animal. Previously issued passports remain valid. Horses may not be transported without a passport. An exception to this is the unweaned foal at the foot of the mother.
Passports become invalid if written, pasted, signed, sketched, etc. in them by persons who are not authorized to do so under the Regulation. For example, the owner may only indicate in the passport whether a horse is intended for slaughter or not. That's all. So if an owner himself changes data in a passport, this passport becomes invalid. If a passport has become invalid, it is confiscated and a duplicate passport is issued at the owner's expense.
Vaccinations
If vaccinations from the vaccination booklet have been taken over by the vet, “basic vaccination in order” must be stated.
Vaccination schedule: According to the regulations of the NSvT, your horse must be vaccinated against influenza according to the schedule below: first two vaccinations with a minimum of 4 weeks and a maximum of 6 weeks in between, and then the horse must be vaccinated again within a year after the previous vaccination.
The following vaccination schedule is also seen as a correct basic vaccination: first two vaccinations with a minimum of 3 weeks and a maximum of 92 days in between, and then the horse must be vaccinated again within a year of the previous one.
Studbook mares
Studbook mares must be included in the Studbook from their third year. Until then (ie the first three years) these mares are included in the Foal Book.
For inclusion in the Studbook, the mare must come to the inspection. If this does not happen, she will remain registered in the foal book. If this (Foal Book) mare gets a foal herself, a note will be made in the passport that the mare is still included in the Foal Book.
The same applies to mares that are registered as Registered Foals in the so-called Register Foal Book and that have a foal of their own. Here comes the note in the passport that the mother is still included in the Register Foal book. Descendants then end up in Bijboek I.
Send Passport
If this is the case, always send your passports by registered mail to prevent them from being lost by post. In the event of loss (or theft), you must report it to the police and request a duplicate passport. This is a very expensive affair (EUR 80.00). We act in accordance with the official regulations of the PVE.
(Import)horse
An (import) horse must be provided with a passport within 30 days, in accordance with the application procedure using the I&R form. If your horse already has a passport, you must have this passport and the details of the horse registered with a passport-issuing agency recognized in the Netherlands, the period of 30 days also applies here.
ascription
If you sell your horse or you have bought a horse, the name in the passport must be changed.
For the seller: you must complete the transfer form (owner details) and send it digitally to the studbook office.
For the buyer: if the selling party has not had the registration done, you must complete the transfer form yourself and send it digitally to the studbook office. This is included in the studbook/registration regulations.
Sale
Make sure the correct horses are registered in your name. By completing the e-form, you can indicate to the NSvT or have it checked which Tinkers still need to be registered in your name.
Birth foal
The birth of your foal is a joyful occasion. The NSvT does not want to disturb this by obliging you to come to an inspection with the animal to have it admitted. If you are unable to come to an inspection, we offer the possibility to fill in a form so that the foal can be taken in at home. After sending the form, the studbook consultant will contact you and make an appointment.
Death horse
The death of a Tinker, whether it be an unexpected sudden death or an active termination of life, is always an emotional event. The NSvT therefore offers its members the opportunity to easily report the event without having to make difficult telephone calls. Completing and sending the e-form informs the studbook of the event. You still need to send the passport of the Tinker to the studbook office so that it can be invalidated by the studbook. It can then be sent back if necessary.
stable name
It is also possible to register your stable name with the Dutch Studbook for Tinkers. It is possible to have your stable name recorded using the contact form at the current applicable rate.
Data changes
Information about you as a member of our studbook can of course also change, such as moving house or new telephone number. In order to keep our administration up to date, we would like to receive a message as soon as possible!
In 2008, we introduced the competition Best Riding Horse. This competition is held annually during the Central Inspection.
To participate, the horse must have at least 4 years are old and are registered and typed for the NSvT. Participation is open to mares, stallions and geldings. Both western and English ridden horses are welcome. If the horse has mastered the walk, trot and canter and is correct and well behaved in these, it can participate.
The purpose of this section is to assess the horse's dressage ability. Judging takes place using a protocol with a maximum score of 100 points, distributed as follows:
Step - 20 points
Trot - 20 points
Gallop - 20 points
Bearing and suppleness - 20 points
Overall impression - 20 points
The test is conducted in a ring of at least 20 x 40 metres. Judging is in the hands of an experienced KNHS judge.
Entries for the Best Riding Horse competition can be made via the entry form on this website.
A rider may start one horse per section. A winner is declared per section. In the event of a tie in the final ranking, the mark for general impression decisive. If there is then still a tie, the mark for suppleness/relaxation determinate.
No specific regulations apply to optics and clothing as yet. The purpose of this competition is to judge the Tinker and not the rider. However, a well-groomed and safe presentation is appreciated. Wearing a safety cap is compulsory. The use of auxiliary reins is not allowed.
In addition to the discipline regulations, the KNHS veterinary regulations, I&R regulations and doping regulations apply to this competition. Horses must be vaccinated in accordance with the inspection regulations (see www.knhs.nl).
Participation in activities is entirely at your own risk. The venue and the NSvT accept no liability for any accidents, damage or loss that may befall participants, spectators, horses or materials.
