New Mexico Bred Stakes races will run both Saturday the27th and Sunday the 28th, come out and see all the talent New Mexico has bred. We will alsohave a booth up in the grandstand, be sure to come by and say hello.

Please make sure ALL NM Bred papers are stamped prior tosending them to the Ruidoso Sale. If you do not see our NM Bred stampeither embossed on your QH papers or digitally stamped on the TBpapers, please call the office and we can get it sorted out. Rememberthey are not a NM Bred until they have been stamped and assigned aregistration number.

Important!Please Note.

We are receiving many NM Bred Applications (Form 100 / 100A) that are incomplete. In order for usto accept an application and register a horse, ALL fields must be filled out in theirentirety. Leaving sections of the form blank or filling in with N/A is not acceptable answer. If you areunsure of any of the information, please find out. To avoid any delays in registering your horse pleaseensure everything is done correctly and all forms are completely filled out.

Don't forget!We made changes to the

Broodmares in foal leaving the stateprogram!

The NMHBA Trustees voted to amend the timeframe that an owner has to provide the Association withthe forms for Broodmares in Foal to Leave the State of New Mexico. Beginning with the 2019 breedingseason the form and the fee will be due on October 1 of the year bred. The form must be postmarked orreceived in our office by that date (October 1) or the $2000 penalty will be assessed to make the resultingfoal eligible to be a NM bred.The Trustees also voted to eliminate the Broodmares in foal returning to the state of New Mexico form,as our form to register a NM bred foal, details all locations the mares were kept prior to foaling. We willstill be sending affidavits to the farms that receive the mares to foal out, and may visit farms to confirmthe mare and/or foal are on the premises. Failure to return the mare to foal in New Mexico will result inthe foal NOT being registered as a New Mexico bred and that foal will NOT be eligible for the NewMexico bred program. NO refund of fees will be made.These changes were made to allow the owners of the mares going out of state during their pregnancy, tohave their mares confirmed in foal before the member pays the fees.Your mare must still be registered with the association by September 1st of the breeding year.

There seems to be a lot ofconfusion on the broodmareregistry. Please note that justbecause a filly or colt was anaccredited NM Bred foal, thisdoes NOT automatically make ita NM Broodmare or NMStallion. These are separateregistries. In order to register aNM Bred foal without penalty,the broodmare must have beenregistered with us no later thanSeptember 1st of the breedingyear. Likewise the sire of a foalmust be entered into the Stallionregistry BEFORE breeding andmust not go inactive in thesubsequent years or penaltieswill apply. You may always callthe office to check on the statusof Stallions and Broodmares.
