American Paint Horse Association registration fee increases effective January 1 do not apply to online registrations, meaning horse owners can save money by completing their transactions online. To register a horse online, log onto aphaonline.org and select “Foal Registration” from the drop-down bar at the right. Only the recorded owner of the dam at the time of foaling can register a foal online. Gather the following items needed to complete the online registration process:

. APHA membership identification number and pin

. Breeder’s certificate control number (Provided on the preprinted breeders certificate mailed to the stallion owner or can be obtained by clicking “Start” and “Find your BC;” then entering the registration number for the Sire/Dam and breeding year.) .

Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred mares must be enrolled for breeding. Breeding must be pre-released by the stallion owner. Digital photographs must be saved in a .jpg format . Method of payment (Visa, Mastercard or American Express) Online horse registrations can be completed in five steps:

1. Enter the foaling details, like location foaled and sex of the horse.

2. Horse identification information, like color, coat pattern, identification remarks.

3. Name your horse, and provide 3 unique name choices.

4. Upload your foal’s required photographs-all four sides. 5. Upload additional photographs. As with all transactions, APHA’s team of MemberCare professionals is ready to answer any questions.
