UPDATE

2003 Breeding Stock Approvals

The 2003 AHHA Breeding Stock Approvals will be held October 7-17. We will have 9 sites across the country. Entry forms and information have been mailed to our members. If you haven’t received them, they can be downloaded at the AHHA website. 

AHHA requires that all horses receiving registrations or certificate of pedigree in 2003 be DNA tested. These procedures are requirements of the AHHA's eventual entry into the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses.  

Because of this additional requirement in processing registrations and certificates of pedigree, the office will require an amount of additional processing time for issuing papers. For breeders wishing to send new foals through approvals, it is imperative that applications for registration and certificate of pedigree be sent as soon as possible so these papers can be completed before approvals inspections. The earlier these applications are submitted, the quicker your foal will receive its papers. 

Sending Registration Papers/Certificates of Pedigree 

The AHHA sends all papers (registrations, certificates of pedigree, etc.) to our members by the most cost-effective means available. As these are important papers, many breeders prefer to have these papers sent via certified mail. We offer our members the option of having their papers sent via certified mail by enclosing an additional $5 with their application form. Horse owners that choose not to have their papers sent via certified mail are responsible for any lost papers and will have to pay the duplicate papers fee for any lost papers, regardless of the reason. 

Live Foal Reports 

We are in receipt of a number of live foal reports for which we haven’t yet received registration applications for. Right now, office workload will allow the AHHA to turn around applications more quickly than most other time of the year. Get those applications in quickly. 

New AHHA E-Mail Addresses 

The AHHA is e-mail addresses. We ask that you update your address book immediately and begin using the new e-mail addresses:

2003 Foal Awards Program

The AHHA is seeking stallion owners to participate in the 2003 Foal Awards Program. 

Following the Approvals, two random drawings will be held-one from the pool of those foals receiving Premium scores and one from the pool of those foals receiving Merit scores. The owners of those two foals will each be awarded a certificate authorizing a discount off the stud fee for one of the participating stallions.  

The winner of the Premium Foal drawing will receive a certificate worth $350; the winner of the Merit Foal drawing will receive a certificate worth $250.
