I've been hoping more Shetland folks would give it a go too. I hate to buy and house a stallion for just 4 mares, one of which will have to be AI'd anyway (big girl). I called ASPC last year to find out what the requirements are. I imagine they are the same for R. They require a regular stallion report and a letter or some such from the vet or facility manager doing the procedure. On the stallion report, just indicate which breedings were AI. DNA is not required at this time (but I've heard it may be in the future), but if you want to attach it, they'll make note of it. When I talked to them about it last year, they said that although it had been approved, noone was really using it yet. I was fully planning on using it last year, but between not being able to find a stallion that shipped, and my dentist taking all my pony savings, I still have open mares. I've since learned that there is at least one shetland offering shipped semen.
