For breedings to be considered official, some registries require stallion reports.
Stallion breeding reports are required by a number of different breed registries. A stallion breeding report is effectively a list of all the mares that the stallion has been exposed to during the year. All mares should be listed on the list, regardless of their registration status or whether or not a foal was actually conceived during the exposure. Breed registries use stallion breeding reports to keep up with the breedings between different horses and to authenticate the bloodlines of foals that are eligible for registration.
Instructions
1. Locate and download the official stallion breeding reports for all registries with which your horse is registered to breed. Some registries, such as the Appaloosa Horse Club, allow cross-breeding with specific other breeds. A Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred stallion that is breeding with Appaloosa mares for registrable offspring will still have to have a stallion report filed.
2. Fill out the stallion breeding report. Reports require you to enter the stallion's full name and registration information, the full name and registration information of every mare he was bred to, the dates of the breedings and the names of recorded owners of all horses involved. Each stallion report has specific blanks listed for all information; make a list and write in the answers, column by column, as requested.
3. Submit the stallion reports to the appropriate registries with all accompanying fees. Fees and dates will vary by the registry, so it is important to be aware of the due date during the early months of the year to avoid paying late fees for not submitting the stallion report on time. November 30th is a standard date for many of the registries including the American Quarter Horse Association, American Paint Horse Association and Appaloosa Horse Club. The vast majority of stallion reports include the address to where they need to be sent.
