Breeding and Stallion Ownership
Stallions that score at least 7 out of 10 on the performance testing receive a temporary breeding license valid for 3 years, during which time they must sire at least 10 foals registered with the American Warmblood Registry. If the foals also score 7 out of 10 on the Foal / Youngstock Inspection, the sire will receive permanent licensing as a breeding stallion.
If a stallion enters the Registry having sired several foals, the foals will be registered at the same time as the stallion and will count toward his 10-foal breeding requirement.
Should a stallion not achieve the necessary points for it to be granted permanent breeding status, his foals that have been registered previously will retain the same rights and responsibilities as foals whose sires do fulfill all requirements.
However, the Registry reserves the right not to accept any more foals from that stallion.
If an owner wants to register a foal with the American Warmblood Registry and the sire is not registered and performance tested with the AWR, he or she may do so if that stallion has no other foals registered with the American Warmblood Registry.
Registration is allowed for one foal only for the lifetime of a stallion who is not AWR-registered and performance tested.
Obligations of Owners
AWR membership is a privilege, not a right ...
- Owners are expected to bring their horses to inspection sites. Inspections will be within a 400 mile travelling distance each way. For situations that exceed this limit, the owner must make special application to the Registry Board for an exception.
- Owners must keep breeding records current and submit these to the AWR office by December 31st of each year.
- If a Certificate of Registration is lost, an owner must call or e-mail the AWR office for special instructions on replacing it.
- Owners are expected to submit all fees and dues to the American Warmblood Registry in a timely manner.
