The AWHA records horses in four categories: the Studbook, the Warmblood Foundation Mare Register, the Foundation Mare Register and the Warmblood Identification Register.  The Breeding Guidelines document (which is an attachment to the Memorandum and Articles of Association) provides more information about the different categories.  The Information Handbook provides information about the registration and classification process. A full schedule of fees and charges is also provided

Colt Classification or Selection is the process by which the AWHA grades the best colts for breeding by assessing their confiormation, movement, jumping ability followed by Performance Testing. The grading process also applies to imported horses, which have not passed similar testing under the auspices of a recognised overseas organisation. The Colt Selection Guidelines below provides more information regarding the process of Colt Selection. To apply to have a colt included in the colt selection process please complete the Application for colt selection and return it to the Registrations Administrator. If you are not already a member then you will need to complete an membership application and send this together with your application to the Membership Coordinator. Refer to the Membership page for more information. 

Stallions who are licensed (performance tested) with recognised overseas Warmblood Associations and whose Semen is imported into Australia can be registered with the AWHA as Listed IFS (Imported Frozen Semen). Progeny resulting from matings by artificial insemination with imported (frozen.chilled) semen shall be eligible for registration with the AWHA subject to the same rules and conditions relating to classification of mares and breeding permit stallions that apply to natural insemination. To apply to list a stallion please download the application form and return this with the applicable fee to the Registrations Administrator. If you are not already a member then you will need to complete an membership application and send this together with your application for classification to the Membership Coordinator. Refer to the Membership page for more information.
