since 1961
Established in 1961 the New Mexico Horse Breeders' Association promotes the breeding and racing of American Quarter Horses
and Thoroughbreds within the State of
New Mexico
.
For nearly 50 years this non-profit corporation has served as the backbone to an agricultural based industry that has been a long
standing tradition in
New Mexico
. The Association serves as the official registry for New Mexico Bred Horses as well as
administering a legislative mandated incentive fund.
The NMHBA Incentive Fund was developed to encourage the expansion of the industry and to improve the quality of performing
athletes. This program has been successful, and in turn it consistently increases the economic impact of the State. More than
ever, horses bred in
New Mexico
are competitive on a national level and are recognized globally for their accomplishments.
