Stallion Breeding Reports: What's Required

Editor's Note: article updated July 8, 2024

There are two basic requirements for AQHA stallion owners:

• Each stallion must have a DNA type and have a health panel test on file.

• A stallion breeding report must be filed every year the stallion is exposed to mares. The report must be delivered to AQHA on or before November 30th of the breeding year to avoid the $50 late fee.
  
  Your stallion breeding report lets AQHA know what mares your stallion was exposed to that breeding season. Only mares that are AQHA registered or registered Thoroughbred mares established with AQHA for breeding should be included on the breeding report. Every mare bred, that falls in these two categories, should be included on the report, even if she was not confirmed in foal.

Other basic information that needs to be placed on the stallion breeding report is breeding dates, breeding method and location of the stallion during the breeding season. The recorded owner of the stallion's signature is required when filing on paper or they may file it online using their AQHA Member Services account. Paper forms can be printed from the AQHA website, or the Member Services Team can mail, email, or fax one to you. You can reach them at 806-376-4811.
