Friday, December 28, 2007
Lexington, Ky. – End of the year deadlines are approaching for registrations, transfers and eligibility for American Saddlebred Registry prize programs. The key dates to remember are Monday, December 31, 2007 and a 10-day grace period deadline (applicable to some deadlines) of Thursday, January 10, 2008.
REGISTRATIONS
A $150 fee for all horses aged 12 months and over applies to all registration applications postmarked on or before Monday, December 31, 2007. After that time, a $250 registration fee will apply for horses aged 12 months up to 24 months, and a $500 registration fee will apply for horses aged 24 months and over.
For all foals with foaling dates of January 1, 2007 through August 1, 2007, fees for registration will remain at $35 provided their applications for registration are postmarked on or before Monday, December 31, 2007. The new fee schedule applies to foals with foaling dates after August 1, 2007 and became effective October 1, 2007. The registration fee of $35 remains unchanged for foals from birth up to three months of age. A $10 increase in fee, from $35 to $45, applies to foals of three months up to six months of age. A $5 increase in fee, from $50 to $55, applies to foals from six months up to nine months of age. A $15 increase, from $50 to $65, applies to foals from nine months to 12 months of age.
TRANSFERS
The fee to transfer a Saddlebred remains at $50, but late fees of $10 per month begin to accrue 30 days after a horse is sold, rather than at 90 days under the previous schedule. The maximum penalty remains at $200. The new practice applies to any horse sold after September 15. The previous fee schedule applies to horses sold between January 1 and September 15, 2007, provided the transfer is postmarked on or before Monday, December 31, 2007.
