Calling All Stallion Owners! As the year comes to an end it is time to submit record of the mares your stallion has bred this year. Stallion reports are another tool that AHA uses to implement our mission to keep accurate and current records, a responsibility in maintaining the integrity of the breed. A stallion report is also a requirement for the registration of the upcoming foal. Your stallion report can also be beneficial for you as well. Keep record of all purebred mares (required) and Half/Anglo Arabian mares (optional) that your US purebred stallion has bred throughout the year, sign the report and submit it to AHA by fax, email or regular mail by December 31 st to avoid a late penalty. There is not a cost for current members to submit stallion reports by December 31 st . Download a stallion report here .  For more information call Registry Services at (303) 696-4500 (option 2) or reach us by email .
