EQUESTRIAN FEDERATION (USEF) ANNOUNCES SLIDING SCALE FOR LIFE RECORDING
-
Beginning March 1, 2004, owners and breeders will be able to Life record
horses with U.S. Equestrian at reduced rates as low as $35! The change
to Article 812.6 offers the following discounts:
"Article 812. Horse Recordings 6. Horse recording applications are
available from the Federation office. The recording fee for the life of
a horse is: $35 if applied for from birth to December 31st of year foaled;
$85 for horses one year of age (if applied for from January 1 to December
31 of the first year after foaling); $160 for horses two years of age
(if applied for from January 1 to December 31 of the second year after
foaling); $200 for horses three years of age or older. To qualify for
the age discount, registration papers and/or other proof of age must be
provided. ”
"This rule change offers breeders and owners a tremendous opportunity to Life record young horses for purposes of Horse of the Year, Leading Sire and Leading Breeder awards," stated Cheryll Frank, Director of Sport Data for U.S. Equestrian. "At these rates, breeders and owners can afford to Life record multiple horses, thereby entering them in the Awards program for present or future owners, as well as giving breeders the opportunity to track their products and earn recognition."
SHOC's database is like no other! SHOC completed an overhaul of its database, including not only members' and registered horses' records, but also a separate database which includes pedigree and competition records of colored equines from around the world, translated into English.
