Horses

Horses or ponies must be registered with the Association in advance of entering any national championship or qualifier for a national championship.  Unregistered horses are not eligible to enter national events or any regional qualifier.

A horse or pony only has to be registered once with the Association, then it’s recorded for life.  This service is open to registered members only.  Please note that animals may only be registered to one individual’s account.
