What does “stamboek (stb), “ster,” “model,” “preferent” and “prestatie” after a Friesian horses name signify?

Friesian horses are judged at 3 years or older for entry into the FPS Studbooks (Stamboek) for Mares, Stallions and Geldings. Horses with serious conformation faults, unsoundness, insufficient height, unacceptable body color or white markings are not accepted for registration into the FPS Studbooks and remain in the Foal Book as adults. Offspring from mares entered into the studbook will have the word “stamboek” or the abbreviation “stb” after their names. The offspring are eligible for registration if the foal is sired by an FPS-approved breeding stallion. Friesian mares may not be crossbred with any other breed. All horses entered into the studbooks are automatically judged for Ster (Star) status. A studbook candidate must be at least 15.1 hands. Judging is 40% on conformation and type and 60% on movement. A ster horse is “above average” and only about 25% of registered studbook Friesians attain “ster.” “Ster” mares may be judged for “Provisional Model.” The mare must be 7 years old
