mares can NOT be artificially inseminated in the USA...and barbaro would not have been able to mount......


he could not have been a stud...

Has to do with registration with the jockey club, go here: http://www.jockeyclub.com/registry.asp?section=3#one

says specifically that to be eligible for registration must be natural.....stallion must mount the broodmare, etc.......

Ok, which brings me back to the un-answered 1st question: Is this for Thoroughbreds only? And it is, apparently - this site refers to t'breds and not 1/4 horses. Thanks for link - interesting.

Your Welcome. From what I have read on their site, it is specific to t-breds and t-breds only and is used to verify pedigrees. They maintain the American Stud Book that lists all t-breds foaled in US, Canada, and Puerto Rico....but also lists imported horses if they are from a country that has a registry that is approved by the jockey club.
