Great News For Stallion Owners
Once your 2013 Stallion Breeding Report is entered into the ApHC computer system, you will receive an e-mail from the ApHC informing you that your Breeder’s Certificates/Registration Applications are available online! Look for your e-mail starting in January!
The Breeder’s Certificates/Registration Applications are commonly referred to as “the blue forms” and in the past were sent by postal service to stallion owners who submitted on-time Stallion Breeding Reports. The data printed on the applications is based on information submitted to the ApHC on your 2013 Stallion Breeding Report.
The pre-printed Breeder’s Certificates are a complimentary service the ApHC provides as a benefit of membership. Hard-copy pre-printed Breeder’s Certificates/Registration Applications are no longer available by regular mail, however, we continue to offer blank Breeder’s Certificates/Registration Applications through our web site and through regular mail upon request.
To view and print your pre-printed certificates, visit our Web site at www.appaloosa.com and click on “Member Sign In.” Then, click on “My Pre-Printed Breeder’s Certificates” and simply click on “View and Print Certificate” for a copy to sign and forward to mare owners.
RECORD UPDATE
Now is a great time to update your facility records for 2014. When a registered Appaloosa dies, the owner should notify the ApHC including name, registration number, month, day, and year of death, and signature of owner. You may also submit the original Certificate of Registration to the ApHC, though it is not necessary. Additionally, when an Appaloosa has lived 30 years past January 1 of its foaling year, it will be presumed dead and it’s records marked accordingly. If the horse has not actually died, the owner may contact the ApHC, and provide satisfactory evidence that the horse is alive, which the owner will be required to do on an annual basis.
