 A
stallion owner's duty
Deciding to stand a horse at stud
brings numerous inherent responsibilities to the stallion
owner, so why does the Appaloosa Horse Club add to
these responsibilities by requiring an annual Stallion
Breeding Report to be filed?
Prior to your stallion's resulting
foals being eligible for registration, the ApHC requires
stallion owners to provide the ApHC with documentation
of all breedings. The Stallion Breeding Report is
the stallion owner's method of recording and reporting
all mares that were exposed to the stallion during
the breeding season.
By submitting this report to the ApHC,
stallion owners enable the ApHC to monitor the health
of our breed, providing statistics regarding likely
activity for the coming year. Stallions have a tremendous
impact on the breed. One popular stallion can cover
numerous mares in a breeding season, but a mare can
only have one foal per year. With this potential for
domination and a stallion's capability to affect the
entire breed within one season, the ApHC feels it's
necessary to require stallion owners to record their
stallion's breedings with integrity.
A properly completed Stallion Breeding
Report also provides the ApHC with adequate documentation
of the breeding that ensures that pedigrees are accurately
recorded.

Asked Questions concerning stallion reports
File early
In order to avoid a late fee for filing
a Stallion Breeding Report, it must be postmarked
on or before November 30 of the breeding year. The
ApHC encourages stallion owners to file their reports
early.
Reports are processed on a first-come,
first-serve basis. Stallion owners who submit their
properly completed reports in a timely manner receive
their pre-printed registration applications, complete
with breeder's certificates, earlier.
Pre-printed registration applications
are sent to stallion owners on a monthly basis throughout
the year. These applications contain sire and dam
information, as well as dates bred and method of breeding.
The applications not only assist the stallion owner
with providing consistent breeding information to
the mare owner, they also speed up the registration
process by significantly reducing errors.
If preferred, stallion owners may
submit a handwritten Breeder's Certificate instead
of using the ApHC pre-printed Registration Application.
This may be beneficial if the stallion owner didn't
submit a Stallion Breeding Report in a timely manner
and the breeder needs a breeder's certificate prior
to the stallion owner receiving the pre-printed registration
application.
What mares must be listed?
Stallion owners must report all mares
exposed to the stallion, whether or not the mare conceives.
Mares owned by the stallion owner must also be recorded
on the Stallion Breeding Report. It isn't necessary
to report mares registered with the American Paint
Horse Association, Pony of Americas Club or other
registries that aren't approved by the ApHC, but "grade"
mares, or unregistered mares of unknown parentage,
should be listed as such on the report.
Appaloosa stallion owners must list names, foal year,
breed, registration number, name of mare's dam, recorded
owner at the time of service, method of breeding and
breeding dates of all registered Appaloosa, Quarter
Horse, Thoroughbred and Arabian mares. "Grade"
mares should be listed as such on the Stallion Breeding
Report.
Owners of Quarter Horse, Thoroughbred and Arabian
registered stallions must list names, foal year, breed,
registration number, name of mare's dam, recorded
owner at the time of service, method of breeding and
breeding dates of registered Appaloosa mares.
Breeding dates
Breeding dates are critical, as the
dates listed on the Stallion Breeding Report must
correspond with the dates on the Breeder's Certificate
and the date of foaling. If you breed mares using
pasture breedings, you should report the first day
bred as the first day the mare was put in the pasture.
The last day bred should be the day she was removed.
Transported semen dates should be
reported as the day the mare was actually artificially
inseminated, not the day the semen was shipped. If
semen is shipped and a mare is artificially inseminated
more than one time, each date of insemination should
be listed on the Stallion Breeding Report. Stallion
owners may have to get this information from breeders.
Embryo transfer, hand breeding and
artificial insemination should be reported specifically
by the first and last days of breeding.
Listing your non-Appaloosa stallion
Owners of stallions registered
with an approved breed must also list their
stallion with the ApHC. Listing applications
are available through the ApHC, free of
charge. A photocopy of the front and back
of the Certificate of Registration, along
with the one-time listing fee of $50 for
ApHC members and $115 for non-members, must
accompany the listing application. The listing
fee only needs to be paid one time even
if the ownership of the stallion changes.
Genetic requirements
The ApHC requires all stallions
- Appaloosa, Quarter Horse, Jockey Club
and Arabian- be DNA tested, and the results
filed with the ApHC prior to filing a Stallion
Breeding Report.
All ApHC registered stallions
must be DNA tested through the ApHC. If
stallions registered with approved breed
associations have their DNA type on file
with the appropriate association, the owner
may sign a test result waiver (available
through the ApHC) and submit it to the ApHC
along with a $10(change to $20) filing fee.
The stallion's genetic information becomes
a permanent part of the stallion's file
and is only needed one time, even if ownership
of the stallion changes.
To obtain a DNA testing
kit, please submit the following requirements
