Breeding a Mare
The decision to breed your mare and raise a foal is one of the most exciting and challenging choices an owner will make. It is important to carefully follow the Society’s established guidelines before and after the breeding and the birth to be sure the resulting foal is eligible for registry with the AHS. Mare Dues Mare dues and owner membership dues must be paid yearly to keep a mare’s status active. To register a foal, mare dues must be paid for the year the foal was conceived and the year foaled. Click for a Current AHS Fee Schedule. Stallion Status Verification It is the mare owner’s responsibility to verify the stallion’s status. A stallion must be AHS approved and all dues paid for the year in which the foal is conceived in order for the foal to be registered. It is also the mare owner’s responsibility to verify the percentage of Hanoverian blood in the stallion’s pedigree. In order for the foal to be eligible for registration, AHS-approved non-Hanoverian mares and AHS Pre-Studbook mares with less than with less than 50 percent Hanoverian blood must be bred to AHS licensed stallions bearing the Hanoverian foalbrand or AHS licensed stallions whose pedigree contains at least 50 percent Hanoverian blood. Contact the office with any questions. DNA Typing Whether the breeding is by live cover or artificial insemination, DNA typing is required on the sire, dam and foal. Keeping accurate insemination records is essential when using transported semen. Embryo Transfer The AHS recognizes Embryo Transfer and allows an unlimited number of foal registrations per donor mare as long as both the sire and dam are inspected and entered in the AHS studbook.
