The Selection Committee for Horse Breeding of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Slovak Republic (hereinafter referred to as "MPRV SR") conducted the autumn horse evaluation at the National Stud "Topoľčianky" state enterprise on October 15–16, 2025. A total of 9 Lipizzaner foals, 46 purebred Lipizzaner mares, 7 Shagya-Arab foals, 37 purebred Shagya-Arab mares, 7 Hucul horse foals, 28 purebred Hucul mares, 24 purebred Slovak Warmblood mares, 3 Thoroughbred mares, 1 purebred Arabian stallion, 4 purebred Arabian mares, young horses of all breeds up to 3 years old, 28 horses in training, 29 sport horses, and 6 racehorses owned by the National Stud "Topoľčianky" state farm were inspected.

The commission positively evaluated the inclusion of the unrelated stallion 122 Shagya XXXIX (Miniszter) in the breeding of Shagya-Arab mares. The commission removed stallion 127 Gurgul XVIII from breeding and proposed his castration. The commission approved stallions for the autumn performance tests: Dahoman XV-2, Dahoman XV-5, Neapolitano XIX-8, Neapolitano XVIII-7, Gurgul XVI-12. The commission includes the mares Gurgul XVI-10, Gurgul XVI-9, Gurgul XVI-7, Oušor XIII-24, Shagya XXXV-5, and Siglavy Bagdady VIII-41 in the breeding training program.

For the 2026 season, the commission proposed using tested stallions in the breeding of the Slovak Warmblood breed.

The selection committee also positively evaluated the cooperativeness and openness of the breeding commission and the entire course of the autumn evaluation.

During the evaluation, horses were suggested for the class registry and castration.
