Frequently Asked Questions regarding Registering a Half Saddlebred

How do I Register my Half Saddlebred? A Half Saddlebred Application for Registration form must be completed and signed by the owner(s).

Registration Fees must be paid. Registration Fee (all ages) $50 Registered with another breed registry (i.e. Half Arabian, etc.) $35 Unregistered Foal Transfer Report (if applicable) $25 DNA Testing (mandatory) $50 DNA from Foreign Labs and other Registries $25

Four color photographs (front, back, and each side) must accompany the application.

The recorded owner of the horse's sire must complete and sign the breeder's certificate or submit a signed stallion service report.

The unregistered foal transfer report section of the Application for Registration form must be completed if the recorded owner of the dam at the time of foaling is different from the current owner of the foal.

Please note:

One Parent, Sire or Dam MUST be registered with the American Saddlebred Registry.

DNA testing must be performed for parentage verification.

If other parent is registered, please enclose copy of papers.

Can I register my Half Saddlebred if I do not have a signed Breeder’s Certificate or Stallion Service Report? If the horse to be registered is an older horse and breeding proof cannot be secured, but that horse is registered with another registry, then a copy of the papers from the other registry will serve as breeding proof.

Can I register my Half Saddlebred if I do not know the identity of the non- Saddlebred parent? The requirements for filing a Breeder’s Certificate, a Stallion Service Report &/or an Unregistered Foal Transfer form required of the non-Saddlebred parent may be waived by the Registrar if after reasonable investigation that parent cannot be identified.
