Het Friesch Paarden-Stamboek (FPS) - Friese Paarden Stamboek (FPS) is the Dutch Friesian registry. To maintain the integrity of the breed, the Friesian Horse Association of North America (FHANA) closely works with its parent organization, the Friesch Paarden Stamboek in the Netherlands and strictly regulates the registration of the Friesian Horse. The FPS is the registry for the Friesian horse worldwide. The registry was founded in 1879 and today's Dutch registered horses are the result of over a century of rigorous evaluation and selection of breeding stock. Organizations from other countries may also register Friesian horses, but horses registered with those organizations may not have met the standards of the FPS and therefore the true Dutch Friesian registry cannot recognize the horses. The Friesian Horse Association of North America cannot recognize a horse whose papers are not issued by the Friesch Paarden Stamboek. All Starlit Ridge Friesians are Dutch-registered with the FPS.
