TAMARA TORTI
modification approved in 2009 allows a non- Hanoverian mare that does not obtain the necessary overall 7.0 or better for entry into the studbooks to have her MPT free jumping score added to the overall inspection score and the resulting total divided by 7 (instead of 6). A registered Thoroughbred, Arabian or Anglo-Arabian mare entered into the AHS Studbook with an overall score of seven (7.0) with no subscore below five (5), including a subscore of seven (7) for impulsion and elasticity (the trot), is eligible for an upgrade to the AHS Main Studbook upon meeting the AHS Mare Performance Test criteria as prescribed for Hanoverian Premium Mares. This means completing the MPT with an overall score of seven (7) or better (at least 21 points) or with an eight (8) and two 6s (20 points) or through provision of scores in competition.

Mare Re-Inspection Mares are usually inspected only once. However, a mare may be re-inspected upon the owner’s application to the AHS office if the owner would like to attempt a higher score.
