Grading Guidelines Booklet
** DOWNLOAD HERE **
CHAPS(UK) run a grading scheme for stallions and mares. Ungraded stallions 4 years old and over may not compete in CHAPS classes,
are not recognised as breeding stock and will not be issued with covering
certificates. Graded and First Stage Approved Stallions must carry the
CHAPS issued id in the ring as per current CHAPS rulings
Colts (3 years old and under) who do not meet the pedigree requirements
as laid out in the Gradings Guideline booklet must gain a 1st premium at
a CHAPS evaluation before entry can be accepted (see the "Youngstock
Evaluations" page for further details). This premium can be gained
at any age (i.e. 1, 2 or 3) and will be honoured.
Pre-grading inspections for older stallions not meeting the necessary
criteria have been scrapped as from 9.7.2010. Owners of such stallions
will have the opportunity to enter the grading at a higher fee.
Membership and horse registration must be in place before entry.
Any entry for the grading that does not meet the current requirements
will be declined, so it is important that the booklet is read and
understood before application for grading is made.
