Modern breed management is like good software: it needs regular updates.

Breeding programmes, regulations and the guidelines issued by the organisations responsible for the original stud books are not a rigid set of rules. They must be continuously adapted to the current situation – improved, supplemented and enhanced with new features. That is precisely what an update achieves.

However, an update does not install itself. It requires the active involvement of breeders, who must take it on board and put it into practice. Without them, any improvement remains mere theory.

Conversely, anyone who clings to outdated rules – such as the 2012 Animal Breeding Ordinance and the new, completely revised Horse Breeding Ordinance – is working with a system whose update is long overdue.
