Did you know the NMHBA offers an Export Broodmare program?
Here are some important facts you need to know!
• First your mare MUST be registered with the NMHBA no later than September 1st of the breeding year or penalties will apply. It costs $100.00 to permanently put a mare into the broodmare registry. Current membership is also required.
• In the case of Quarter Horses and Embryo Transfers BOTH the donor mare and the recipient mare must be registered with us. If you’re ever unsure of the status of a broodmare, please check the horse directory under active broodmares or give us a call. We are more than happy to look them up.
• Your accredited New Mexico Broodmare must then be bred in New Mexico to an accredited NM Stallion. You can always check our website at nmhorsebreeders.com under the stallion directory for active stallions or call the office.
• Once an accredited New Mexico broodmare is in foal she may leave the state of New Mexico, but the following requirements must be met:
wThe Form for a New Mexico broodmare to leave the state of New Mexico must be filled out and the $500.00 fee paid for by October 1st of the breeding year. If you miss the October 1st deadline, a $1,000 fee will then be in place after October 10th. If the mare should reside in New Mexico and then leave the state AFTER October 1st you will have ten days to submit the form and pay the $500.00.
• For embryo transfers you must pay for each mare that leaves the state.
• Every donor mare and every recipient mare that is taken to board out of state must have their own form filled
out and you must pay $500.00 for each or the larger $1,000 fee if the deadline is missed.
• An open donor mare DOES NOT have to come back to the state of New Mexico after leaving but does have
to pay the $500.00 fee.
• Any mare carrying a New Mexico Bred foal MUST come back to New Mexico before foaling.
wIf you are taking a mare out of New Mexico to participate in a sale
• You still must fill out the form for her to leave the state, however, there is no fee to leave to go to a sale.
• Your mare may leave 7 days before the sale and must return within 7 days of the completion of the sale OR
you can pay the $500.00 to keep her out of the state within 10 days.
• The seller or buyer must notify the New Mexico Horse Breeders Association on the status of the broodmare in
foal within seven days after the completion of the sale for the foal she is carrying to maintain eligibility for ac- creditation. You must bring your accredited broodmare back to New Mexico and the foal MUST be born here - no exceptions will be made.
• Once the foal has been born in New Mexico it may leave the state; it does not need to stay in New Mexico for any extended amount of time.
• Don’t forget to fill out your membership application if you haven’t already, and submit your New Mexico Bred applications.
• Common misconception is you must wait until the foal is registered with either the American Quarter Horse Association or the Jockey Club. You DO NOT need to wait and it’s better if you don’t - foals are only $60.00 their weanling year to
register. The registration can then be completed once the registration certificate becomes available. Your horse is not con- sidered a NM Bred until it has been assigned a registration number.
