SERVICE CERTIFICATES:

If the mare has been covered by two stallions in the same season, it is essential that two Service Certificates be lodged and DNA will be required to establish paternity.

Any mares inseminated by transported or frozen semen must have a Service Certificate as well as an Artificial Insemination Form (AI) completed by the veterinary surgeon or technician who performed the insemination.

This form should be sent, completed, back to the Stallion/Semen owner who can then fill out the Service Certificate with the correct information.

Semen dealers should complete the appropriate section of the Artificial Insemination Form and forward it with the semen to the veterinary surgeon to complete the remaining sections.

STALLION STUDBOOK

Health
Horses used for breeding are expected to be healthy and fertile. General health, as well as the health of reproductive organs and hereditary health, are to be taken into account.
Recognition of results of sports performance for the entry into the Stallion Studbook.
ACE recognises results from international and national competitive sports events/ horse performance shows for approval to the ACE studbooks if they correspond to the following placings:

Dressage: Receive scores of at least 68% five (5) times under various judges in tests at the advanced level or higher at EA Australia recognised events; or

Jumping: Be placed in the top three (3) in at least 1.45m to 1.50m courses for a total of five (5) times at EA Australia recognised events; or

Eventing: Be placed three (3) times in the top 50% of finishers at EA Australia recognised events at a three-star or higher level.

Horses that achieve these performance results may be accepted into the Studbooks – provided they have also passed an ACE approved inspection of movements, external appearance, and internal characteristics.

Stallion Register 

Any ACE registered or recognised stallion that does not fulfill one or more of the stallion studbook requirements will be listed in the stallion register. Stallions in the register are eligible to receive a service certificate book from ACE, to encourage efficient record-keeping and registration of the progeny.

To be registered in the stallion register the stallion must be ACE registered with an official registration certificate or an ACE horse passport and have a DNA profile with ACE.
