I own two warmblood mares; neither are ACE registered. One is registered with AWSHA and the other isn’t registered with any organisation. The mares are full sisters and their dam was 50% Percheron, 50% TB and not ACE (or other) registered. Would my mares be eligible for ACE registration? Do they require an assessment?

Your mares don’t require an assessment in order to be registered, however, we would recommend that you have them assessed if you intend to use them for breeding.  That way you can make the most of our Assessors’ expertise when you choose a stallion for them in order to make the most of their attributes!

You can apply for registration without assessment by becoming a member of ACE Group Inc. and completing the forms and paying the fees.  It would depend on how much detail you can provide for them as to which studbook they are entered into.  The more detail obviously the better.  I would recommend having them assessed and taking it from there.
