All horse age on January 1st. Be sure to have your envelope postmarked no later than December 31, 2018 in order to save money! The older the foal, the higher the registration fee.
Registration Papers
Registration as a New Mexico Bred is not complete until the NMHBA has received from you the original foal certificate papers for final approval and stamping. To facilitate a smooth process, please have your horse’s papers stamped before time of entry in your horse’s first race. If you have a NM Bred that has been renamed or has been given a reissued set of registration papers, you need to get them re-stamped by the NMHBA office. For Thoroughbred horses, starting with foals born in 2018, the Jockey Club will be issuing electronic/digital certificates instead of registration papers.
Legislation Pending
A new rule has been introduced changing the breeder of Quarter Horse foals. Starting with foals born in 2019, the breeder of the foal will be the owner of the dam at time of breeding. This is the same as the AQHA definition.
