AES Select Studbook and Premium Programme

As part of our continued investment in people and technologies, we are proud and delighted to launch our brand-new AES Select Studbook and Premium Programme aimed at providing an exceptional service and recognition to those breeders who go above and beyond in aiming to breed the very highest quality horses for the future. Who is eligible? To participate in the Premium Programme, horses and foals must be entered in the AES Select Studbook. This special section of the main studbook is reserved for horses who not only fulfil the criteria of having full three generation pedigrees and being by fully WBFSH licensed stallion. Beyond that, they need to be out of AES graded mares, and submit DNA samples for full parentage verification. The programme is open foals born from 2021 and to older horses who can apply for an upgrade. The cost of entry into the select studbook for foals in £70, which includes their passport and full DNA test. The cost of upgrading your already registered AES horse or youngster into the select studbook is £50. How can I grade my mare with the AES? To be eligible for grading for the purpose of her offspring being eligible for the Select Studbook, your mare needs to have main studbook, full pedigree papers with the AES or another WBFSH member studbooks. She needs to be inspected on hard and soft ground by our evaluation team. On the hard, we assess conformation, soundness and correctness, and on the soft we assess walk, trot and canter, with jump optional, if it is safe to do so and does not conflict with the welfare interest of the mare. During ongoing Covid restrictions, we will continue to offer virtual evaluations for mares, although we are very much hoping to offer physical options later on in the season. Virtual mare gradings cost £40 per mare, physical mare gradings start at £50 plus travel costs, which can be shared. What is the AES Select Premium Programme The AES Select Premium Programme offers special recognition and r
