Grand Prix jumper, Cisco, received his lifetime license this week. Congratulations to his owner and rider, Derek Petersen. The Holsteiner stallion by Concerto II out of a Corrado mare presented a very uniform group of impressive offspring. All of his progeny showed off not only a great temperament, but also a stellar jump. 
NAS is very excited about adding this proven stallion to the line-up to offer to breeders.

Welcome to the North American Studbook
NAS was established with the single purpose of assisting the North American sport horse breeder to better compete in the domestic and international marketplace. It was created by a small group of seasoned breeders and professionals who have a keen insight into the hurdles facing North American breeders, coupled with a strong understanding of the European means to achievement.
By employing the success-proven strategies that have fueled the European rise to its preeminent state in the sport horse world and adapting these standards to the unique advantages and challenges of our market, the NAS brand will become synonymous with quality and performance success with both breeders and competitors.
The pillars of the NAS brand are four-fold:Quality Standardization: Registry standards of quality have been developed and will be assessed by top sport horse breeders, judges and professional competitors. While these standards will be consistently and stringently applied, the NAS will assess each horse as an individual so that quality breeding stock is not overlooked. Standards encompass not only bloodlines, conformation and athleticism of the horse, but also the performance career and progeny of the horse. |
| Education: A major function of the NAS will be the educational support of the North American breeder. Whether a Keuring, a sponsored-seminar, a sport horse auction or the website, the NAS will ensure that each is rich with information and experience so that learning continuously expands for all members. |
| Information: The NAS will gather, compile and assimilate data and information for members' registered horses. In the current North American market, the link between the breeder and the adult horse they bred is often broken and information is lost. One of the primary goals of the NAS will be to foster a stronger link so that breeders' are able to track the horses they have bred. |
| Advocation: NAS will serve mare and stallion owners in a friendly, clear and most importantly, collaborative manner without bias or politics. |
