GVHS Customer Portal

Be Sure to Create New Login Account Before Logging In

The GVHS has launched a new member portal system that allows you to access

information in one place, help manage your information, and replace how you access the online registry, registry forms, and the members-only page. Guests/non-members will also be able to set up an account to do business with the GVHS.

To access the NEW GVHS online portal, the online registry, and manage your information, you must set up a new account the first time you access it. Your old login information will no longer work. This system will eventually phase out the old one, so please be sure to do this as soon as possible.

You will need to create a new login for your new system account. This means only one login and password!
Be sure that the email for your new login is the same as what the GVHS has on file with your membership. That is what ties you to your customer and membership records.
The new system will allow you to update your personal information.
You will be able to see all the horses and manage the horses that you own.
In your account, you will currently have access to the forms you are used to using. The second phase of this project will be the ability to directly enter many of the existing form information, and those will go automatically to the association database for processing.

Upcoming Events

GVHS Evaluations - SIGN UP TODAY!!!

January 10, 2024 – Jacksonville, FL -prior to the FHC show

Fill Out an Evaluation Form

The Gypsy Vanner Horse Evaluation Program has been developed as an educational tool for the horse breeder, to promote thoughtful breeding of Gypsy Vanner Horses of the type as detailed in the breed standard, and for the public to educate them about the breed.

The program’s purpose is to help breeders and owners to educate themselves about the strengths and weaknesses of their horses so they can use this knowledge in making educated breeding and purchasing decisions.

This system should be viewed as an important tool to help preserve the wonderful characteristics of the Gypsy Vanner Horse.

The conformation-movement evaluation is also an integral part of the GVHS Registration process. Horses lacking DNA verification of both sire and dam require a certain minimum conformation-movement evaluation score to move from the GVHS Pre-Studbook into the Regular Studbook.
