The two major parts of the Registration Incentive give deep savings for registering older horses and for multiple transfers of registered horses.
Registering Older Horses
The incentive allows a discounted registration fee for Paint Horses two years old and older, and is available for both Regular Registry and Solid Paint-Breds. APHA encourages owners to take advantage of the opportunity to register older Paint Horses at a greatly reduced rate and save up to $400.
Current Fees | Weanling | Yearling | Two-Year-Old | Three Years and Up | Registration Incentive Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Registry | $20/$25/$35 | $75 | $250 | $500 | $100 ($150/$400 savings) |
| Solid Paint-Bred | $15 | $50 | $50 | $100 | $50 ($50 svgs) |
Multiple Transfers
The second portion of the Registration Incentive allows current owners to transfer ownership of a registered American Paint Horse multiple times for a one-time fee of $15. For example: John bought a horse from Steve, who bought it from Shirley. If Steve had not sent in the horse’s registration certificate and paid his transfer fees, John would normally have to pay for two transfers ($30) to get the horse registered in his name. Under the Transfer provision, John pays only $15.
“Now is the perfect time to take advantage of the multiple transfer discount and update your horse’s ownership records if you find yourself in this situation,” said APHA Managing Director of Registration Cindy Grier.
Free Services
APHA also regularly offers a number of certificate corrections at no charge. Qualifying transactions include color changes, geldings, brands and tattoos.
All registered American Paint Horse owners are encouraged to look over their horses’ registration certificates at this time and submit any updates to APHA to bring their records and the association’s current. You can update your horse’s records, save money, renew your membership and your subscription to the Paint Horse Journal, find your local regional club and check out the list of upcoming trail rides all by visiting www.apha.com or calling (817) 834-2742.
