Documents, DNA and Parent Verified To BOTH Parents:
Starting January 1, 2004, all horses being registered must have DNA Analysis performed to confirm parentage against BOTH parents. The exceptions is outlined in the AQHA and APHA DNA Schedule. DNA hair kits are to be ordered with each accompanying registration application. (Please do not send us money for this kit before we receive a filled out and completed registration application, as we need the information from the application to complete the DNA forms). If the horse requesting registration has already had a DNA Analysis performed, a copy of the DNA Marker report is required.
* If horse is registured with more than one of the registries listed below, please send send a copy of both.
