The purpose of the society is the coordination of Shagya-Arabian breeding in the member countries from the points of view of breeding goal, preservation of pure breeding and furthering of the Shagya-Arabian race. The ISG advocates the interests of Shagya-Arabian breeding internationally. ISG outlines for its members the guiding principles for editing the national studbooks. These national studbooks are recognized by the ISG.
Details you will find in statutes of ISG and in studbookrules(RZB) which we are currently working on to adapt them to changed breeding laws in several countries.

In Romania with the foundation stud Radautz (the most important one besides Bábolna) and Staatestud Mangalia as well as in Croatia and Spain work active breeders who have asked for membership in ISG . Their studbbooks will be proofed soon to decide finally about membership. Also there are some individuell breeders in Greece, Italy und Ireland.
