Impeccable turnout is the standard of the mare and foal presentations.

Above Photo: Top honors in the non-Hanoverian class at the 2006 Home Again Farm inspection was the impeccably groomed and correctly posed KWPN-registered mare Tamarinde (Jazz-Acacia/Matador II), owned by Judy Yancey, Ocala, Fla. This elegant mare scored a 9 on her type and for her impulsion and elasticity. With a final score of 7.91 (second-highest of the 2006 inspections), Tamarinde proved to be a worthy winner of the non-Hanoverian mare neck sash.

From the AHS Central Office

The AHS was established in 1978 with only 40 members and has since developed into one of the leading and most respected warmblood breed organizations in the country with a membership of more than 2,500 individuals.

Sharing a reciprocal studbook, the AHS’s breeding rules and goals are consistent with those of the Hannoveraner Verband (HV), with whom the AHS enjoys a very close working relationship. This year we welcome HV representatives Uli Hahne and Gerhard Senckenberg who will participate in the inspections at a number of sites.

Standard Order of Go

In order to make the best use of the commission’s time, inspection sites will follow a Standard Order of Go. The only exceptions will be the stallion licensing sites at Hilltop Farm on July 11 and Starr Vaughn Equestrian on July 17. Following is the Standard Order of Go:

Registration (start time has been determined based upon travel arrangements).

Free Jumping portion of Mare Performance Test. During the free jumping there will be an evaluation of the trot while free running; in the case of previously uninspected mares,(i.e. those doing both their studbook inspection and MPT), there will be an evaluation of conformation and correctness of gaits immediately following their free jumping.

Individual inspection of non-Hanoverian Mares, followed by group walk ring, Including the non-Hanoverian mares inspected during the MPT, followed by awards.

Mare Performance Test, under saddle portion, followed by awards.

Individual inspection of Hanoverian Mares, followed by group walk ring, including the Hanoverian mares inspected during the MPT, followed by awards.

Lunch (will be served as time allows). May or may not be provided by host.

Foal Presentations, followed by branding (last activity of the day).

Enrollment

All horses must be pre-enrolled and all fees must be paid in advance as entries are not taken on inspection day. The deadline for entry without penalty for the summer tour is Tuesday, June 22 and Tuesday, September 21 for the fall sites (entries to be postmarked by these dates). If you have any questions regarding the tour, including the material contained in this book, please contact the central office at (859) 255-4141. The staff is more than pleased to assist you with any inspection inquiries you may have. Good luck on inspection day; we look forward to meeting you.

General Information and Instructions

While the registration of foals and inspection of mares may seem complicated, especially to our first-time participants, it actually is quite straightforward. We hope to streamline the process for you and for the host farms with the information contained here. All entries must be made using the inspection tour enrollment form; completed forms are returned to the AHS Office. A Stabling Form is provided should you require stabling, and this should be sent directly to the host of the Inspection site you have chosen to attend.

Inspection Enrollment Form

To register foals, enroll mares and/or stallions for inspection, or mares for the Mare Performance Test, this form (in center of book) must be filled in completely and returned to the AHS Office. Forms should be returned promptly as many sites have limited space. Use the appropriate form (summer or fall) for the inspection site you choose to attend. Fees for ALL inspections MUST be paid in advance. This speeds up the paperwork on the day of the inspection tremendously. A fee schedule for most inspection-related services appears on the back of the enrollment form. Mare Inspection and/or Foal Registration forms for the summer July 10–25 inspections that are not postmarked by June 26 will incur a $30.00 Late Fee. The deadline without penalty for the fall October 11–20, and November 7 inspections requires a postmark of September 21. All enrollment forms must be signed.

For those foals that will not be attending an inspection, on the enrollment form delete “Inspection Site” and make notation “Registration by Mail.”

Mare Inspections

A copy of the registration certificate of every mare enrolled for inspection must be submitted with the enrollment form. Entries that lack this documentation may be delayed. The owner of any non-Hanoverian warmblood mare enrolled for 2010 AHS inspection must submit a copy of the mare’s registration papers to the Central Office for pre-approval. Owners of such mares will be promptly advised as to their mare’s inspection eligibility with AHS. Registered Thoroughbred, Arabian, and Anglo-Arabian mares are automatically eligible, but their owners must provide a copy of their mare’s registration certificate when enrolling. For Thoroughbreds only, a 5-generation pedigree will be required if the mare is accepted. The ORIGINAL certificate of registration for every mare being inspected must be available at the inspection site.
