WHAT IS IT? The AHAC Road to the Legions was introduced to the AHAC by Aeolus in 2008 to become a year-round competition to promote your homebreds. This competition specifically focuses on both weanling colts and fillies that were bred by yourself. More on the definition of a homebred and the requirements to compete later. This is a prestigious competition that will ultimately decide the value of a breeder and their stock. This competition is held all year long and applies to all AHAC-Hosted shows. AHAC Class-A shows are not to be incorporated into this program. Each AHAC show will have individual classes for competition participants, which includes both a filly and colt division. Only horses approved by the AHAC Staff to compete in the Road to the Legions will be entered in those classes, to give each horse and equal chance.
HOW DO I COMPETE? In order to compete in the Road to the Legions, all you are required to do is breed a colt and/or a filly from your mare. The foal(s) must then be registered (read on for more information). Once the foal is registered, it will automatically be entered in the Road to the Legions classes in all official AHAC shows. This is to ensure that no advantages/disadvantages arrive later down the road. This will result in each foal being entered in the same number of classes and in the same number of shows. The AHAC Staff members will be keeping up with your foals placings and at the end of 2011, a winner will be announced along with the runner-up. Each player/breeder is limited to one (1) purebred filly, one (1) purebred colt, one (1) partbred filly, and one (1) partbred colt.
REQUIREMENTS TO BE A HOMEBRED: There as been a lot of confusion as to what the true definition of a homebred is, and the AHAC staff has come to the conclusion that we will only accept foals that were bred out of your mare at the time of the breeding. You must own the mare at the time of the foals registration and provide proof of that fact. We will not accept the foal as being your own if you've purchased a breeding to someone elses mare. That is not acceptable in this competition.
HOW TO REGISTER: Visit the appropriate year's Road to the Legions thread on the AHAC Information Board at The Sim Community and fill out the form provided. Road to the Legions classes start running March 1st. Late entries will not be accepted.
