The American Saddlebred Registry (ASR) has announced additional enhancements for the use of its new Certificates of Registration, which were introduced recently.

“Since we announced and started mailing the new, larger Registration Certificates within the last several weeks, and the accompanying new transmittal memorandum which doubles as an official ‘Statement of Registration and Recorded Ownership’ for use in submitting entries to competitions, we have received very favorable feedback in the office from the membership at large,” said Alan F. Balch, Registrar. "However," he said, "some directors and constituents have suggested we make it easier to copy the pedigree and other breeding information, which was more convenient to do ‘above the fold’ on the old certificates."

In response, Registry staff devised a method of showing all pertinent pedigree/chain of ownership information in an easily readable format on the back of the new transmittal memorandum. Examples of the enhanced document can be seen using the following links, front and back, of the standard-size 8.5-inch by 11-inch single page.

ASR is now producing and mailing the memorandum to accompany each new Certificate of Registration processed for either a registration or a transfer.
