| Broodmares |
| A selection of questions relating to mare registration and the studbook. |

| I have leased the mare for a year - do I have to register her? |
| No, you can simply record the foal under the unregistered parent/s category. If the mare has other |
| progeny you want to register, then it may be more worthwhile to "register" the mare so that the progeny |
| can all be applied for as having registered parents. Mind you, with the SPECIAL AMNESTY of $25 |
| (plus GST) for all horses except stallions, it won't matter until next year. |
| |
| Why should I register my mare? |
| Firstly, you would then be supporting the NZ Sport Horse breeding industry in its quest to formally |
| recognise pedigrees used in sport horse breeding in this country. Secondly, it is less expensive to record |
| the resulting progeny. Thirdly, your mare will be eligible for programs being developed under the banner of |
| the NZSHPB such as selective breeding programs, broodmare of the year awards etc. Last, but not least, |
| you need to be a mare owner or a stallion owner to be a full voting member of the NZSHPB. |
