ASPR
Where Tomorrow's Champions Are Made
Welcome to the
Australian Sports Pony Registry
Please visit our major sponsor for Feeding made Easi
The Australian Sports Pony Registry Inc. (“ASPR”) is delighted to announce that it has entered into an association with the Westphalian Verband in Germany to register eligible foals, approve eligible mares and license eligible pony stallions.
NEW - Ridden and/or jumping only assessments
Ponies and horses that have previously been assessed and registered with the ASPR for conformation and free movement only, may now apply for a ridden and/or jumping assessment without re-presenting for the conformation and free movement phases.
The ridden and/or jumping assessment score will be added to the existing grading. Changes to grading status (eg: 1st Premium to Premium or Premium to Elite) will be recorded in the ASPR Stud Book.
If your pony/horse has been assessed for conformation and free movement only with a recognised and approved stud book/registry, application may be made to the ASPR Federal Office to have those scores recognised.
Owner must be a current ASPR financial member.
If you are interested in booking a ridden and/or jumping only assessment on the forthcoming National Tour, please contact the ASPR Federal Office.

Non-assessed registration
Did you know that you do not have to have your pony or horse assessed on the ASPR Tour to be able to register with the ASPR?
The ASPR offers membership and registration benefits for Non-assessed ponies and horses that other organisations just cannot match!
If you simply require a registration that lists the pedigree of your pony or horse, then Non-assessed registration is the way to go.

Stallions at Stud
Advertising is welcome for both open and ASPR registered stallions.
Become an ASPR member and you can advertise your stallion for FREE.
Do you own a registered ASPR Pony?
Or, have you purchased one in the past few years? Your ASPR pony may already have earned points towards their Roll of Merit Awards.
Check out the ASPR online stud book to look up your pony's registration, then contact the ASPR to see if your pony has already earned points.
Once a pony is ASPR registered, the pony is registered for life. The owner only needs to be a current member each year so that the pony is eligible for the ROM Awards (as well as the Annual High Point Awards). Entry is FREE and all you have to do is submit results online here. The owner does not have to be the rider. The pony may have multiple rider as the ASPR Awards are for the pony, regardless of rider.
