The emphasis in assessment of young stallions has moved away from a static, single period of time to appraising the stallion's training progress and development at multiple points in their early career. This fundamental change will still allow stallion owners options for following a testing path or a wholly performance-based approval method.
An example of how the licensing and sport testing process would work for a stallion may be as follows*:
Age 3: The stallion is presented for licensing. If accepted, he is granted a 1-year breeding permit to breed mares at age 4. (For some registries there is a 2-year permit, for others licensing is conditional upon attendance at the testing. Stallion owners are responsible for understanding the specific rules to their registry(ies) of choice.)
