If importing to the USA wasn't so expensive, I sure would want to have this kind of sturdy draft horses available here.

What happens if they don't get approved?

[@RobertPiessens]

In breeding (impregnating a mare) the stallion must be approved. Non-approved stallions can still be used to work in agriculture, in the forests, for recreation etc.

They probably get gelded and used for work.
