American Hanoverian Society / American Rhineland Studbook Inspection

**REGISTRATION NOTE** Two separate forms are required 1) Hilltop Farm Registration and 2) AHS/ARS Online Registration Form. 

Stallion Licensing: The NA Stallion Sport Test (10/10 – 10/12) provides an excellent option for stallion owner’s looking to present their stallion for licensing. However, should there be interest in presenting your stallion for licensing directly at this AHS Inspection, please contact Hilltop directly to discuss potential options. 

Mare Studbook Inspection: All mares who meet the necessary pedigree requirements according to the AHS/ARS and are three years and older may register for this class to enter the AHS/ARS studbook. A mare must be approved in the AHS/ARS studbook to have her foal registered. If a mare has not already been inspected in the AHS/ARS studbook but would like to perform her Mare Performance Test (MPT) or have her foal registered, then she may enter both the mare inspection and MPT and/or foal inspection at the same site inspection.  

Performance Testing: All mares 3 years and older who are accepted in the AHS/ARS mare studbook (or are being presented for studbook at Hilltop’s inspection as well) are eligible for performance testing. AHS/ARS registered geldings 3 years and older are also eligible. The mare or gelding will be free jumped and ridden undersaddle.

Foal Inspection: All current year foals may participate in the foal inspection. Each foal’s dam must be entered in the AHS/ARS studbook and the sire must be a licensed sire for the foal to be eligible for AHS/ARS registration and branding.

AHS/ARS Futurity:  The AHS/ARS Futurity is open to AHS/ARS registered yearling colts and fillies and two-year old colts and fillies (4 classes). Complete judging details can be found on the AHS/ARS websites.  Horses will be shown on the triangle; yearlings will be shown in a halter, two-year olds will be shown in a bridle. They may not be turned loose, but a second round is permitted if needed. Participants must pre-register with the AHS/ARS offices just like they do for the inspection.
