About Inspections
RPSI inspections, or keurings, are held in the late summer and early fall of each year at host sites throughout North America.
Inspections are judged by qualified representatives of the German parent registry, the Pferdezuchtverband Rheinland-Pflaz-Saar E.V.
The same judges inspect German and North American foals to ensure consistency, resulting in fair and ethical keurings. As in Europe, approved mares and stallions are entered directly into the Mare Book and Stud Book and foals
are given a registration number at birth. This number follows the foal's show results, location, and breeding records, if applicable. Learn more...
