Attention All Breeders

Application forms to register this season’s foals were posted out late October to the person who according to our records is the first named owner or lessee of any mare for which there is a 2019/2020 service record.

If you have not received an application form and believe you should have please contact this office.

Remember the cost of registration is $195 per foal if application and payment is made by 1 April 2021. 

The form should be lodged and paid for by the due date even if you do not have all of the required details. In this way breeders will avoid the imposition of late fees.

IMPORTANT NOTICE – Branding & Microchipping

This year foals will be branded AND microchipped. Both the brand symbols and the microchip number are required when applying to register your foal(s).

If your foal is not already branded and microchipped please send the notification card that was enclosed with the application form to the contractor nominated for your area. Contact details appear on the card and Letter to All Breeders also enclosed with the application form. You may also contact HRNZ for these details.

In the coming months HRNZ will provide more information on microchipping.
