Upgrading Certificates of Pedigree
If you hold a certificate of pedigree for a foal that is eligible to be upgraded to full registration papers based on results of the most recent approvals, be sure to send the CP to the office for your free upgrade. If you want the new registration papers sent back to you via certified mail, be sure to include $5 to defray the cost of doing so.
Transfers of Ownership
One of the most important missions that the AHHA has in constructing its database is to be able to track ownership of horses across various sales and transfers of ownership throughout the animal’s life. This is only possible, though, if owners are diligent about filing transfer of ownership documents through the AHHA office. Each year, we are able to assist many owners in solving identity and ownership disputes, but we are only able to do this if our database is kept up to date. Do you have horses that you haven’t filed transfer of ownership paperwork on? You can get instructions and the transfer of ownership forms online at the AHHA website.
We have developed a beautiful 2005 Holsteiner calendar showcasing some of the finest Holsteiner horses in the world. The calendar also features key dates and reminders and breeding information. Through the generosity of the breeders whose horses are showcased in the calendar, AHHA members each receive a complimentary copy of the calendar
These calendars will make excellent gifts for Christmas, for customers and for those who may be interested in the Holsteiner breed – ore for those members that want to post these calendars in more than one location. We are able to offer additional calendars at a special price for AHHA members. These calendars, designed to retail at $12.95, are available to AHHA members for only $8.00. These calendars are also suitable for resale and would make an excellent addition to any gift shop or tack store. Members purchasing five or more calendars can have them for the special price of only $5.00 each. There is an order form on the AHHA website, so get your extra copies today!
Notice of Gelding
Be sure to contact the AHHA Office whenever you geld a colt or stallion, so that the horse’s record can be kept up to date. This is an obvious part of the horse’s identification record and this information can be valuable in identifying missing horses or those with disputed ownership. If you’ve had one or more horses gelded and haven’t let us know, please just drop us a line with the horse’s name, registration number and approximate date of gelding.
