Reminder st
Do not forget all foals age January 1 , so get your NM Bred applications in before the registration price goes up!
By December 31st of the year born:
• Weanling: $60
• Yearling: $150
• 2 Year old: $1,000
• 3 Year old and up: $2,000
The NMHBA has three (3) separate registries: 1. NM Bred registry
2. NM Broodmare registry
3. NM Stallion registry
Keep in mind that just because a horse has NM Bred status, that individual horse is not automatically placed in the Broodmare or Stallion registry. Broodmare and Stallion registrations are separate from NM Bred registration.
If you have a NM Bred QH which has been renamed or issued a new set of registration papers, you need to get the registration papers re-stamped. You can either mail the papers or hand carry the papers to the NMHBA office at 4836 Hardware Dr. NE, Suite B, Albuquerque, NM 87109.
