THOROUGHBRED AND ARABIAN STALLION ATA ACCEPTANCE PROCESS Q: How does my Thoroughbred or Arabian stallion qualify for acceptance as an ATA breeding stallion? How do I apply?
• Thoroughbred and Arabian s tallions must have exceptional performance records to qualify for consideration for Trakehner acceptance. (See the Exceptional Trakehner Stallion Recognition program criteria for examples of outstanding performance). Performance in disciplines other than those listed in the Exceptional Trakehner Stallion Recognition program will be considered if the horse has won at the regional and/or national level in a strenuous activity such as racing, endurance or the Olympic disciplines. Performance in halter classes and pleasure classes will not be considered. Send the results from an outside source along with the stallion’s pedigree to the ATA central office. The results will be forwarded to the Inspection Committee and you will be notified if the stallion qualifies for inspection. If he qualifies you will need to complete an inspection application and submit it along with the $650 inspection fee. The inspection schedule will be posted on the ATA website by April 15
