If you are interested in comparing the numbers, choose the
spreadsheet format that allows easy comparison of height, weight,
collar size, etc.

comments, choose the photo link.
All of these stallions have their blood-type on record with
the ASHA unless otherwise noted. All stallions must be DNA tested in
order for new foals to be registered. For more on DNA, see below.

About the measurements:
A) Height: Place the horse on solid, level ground
making sure that he is standing squarely with head up. Measure from the
top of teh wither straight down to the ground. At the withers, feel for
the highest point that does not move when the horses' head is raised
and lowered.
B) Girth: Using a cloth tape or string, measure the
crcumference of the body right behind the front legs. Pull the tape
snug. Be sure to use a tape or string that does not stretch!
C) Length: Measure in a straight line from the forward
point of the chest to the rearmost point of the hip. Do NOT curve the
tape around the body.
D) cannon bone: Measure the circumference of teh canon
bone midway between the knee and fetlock. Pull tape snug.
E) Collar size: Following the slope of the shoulder,
measure from the top of the neck to the bottom of the neck in a
straight line (do not follow the curve of the body). Make sure to snug
up on the loose skin under neck for most accurate measurement. *Note -
stallions with thicker necks may actually wear a slightly bigger collar
which stretches out and around the thick neck causing the collar to
measure shorter than it actually is. Collars are measured in a straight
line from the inside rim at top to inside rim at the bottom.
Many of these stallions are
not standing at stud, but are used privately. Some, however, are
available for outside mares. Please contact the owner or check the
stallion advertisement section of this web site.
Please note that English
registration numbers begin with the letter "E", followed by the gender
"S" for Stallion, "M" for mare, and their number.
As of January 1, 2003, all
horses submitted for registration with the ASHA must be DNA tested
and parentage verified before they will be eligible for registration.
In order to perform the parentage
verification:
A. All sires of horses submitted for registration must be DNA tested.
B. All dams of horses submitted for registration must be DNA tested.
