RULES FOR EXPORT BROODMARE PROGRAM
The by-law change voted on at the 2025 Annual Meeting now allows mares to foal outside of the state of New Mexico STARTING WITH FOALS OF 2025. This will require paying the Export Broodmare Fee AND a $500 Out Of State Foaling Fee.
STARTING FEBRUARY 15, 2025:
- All mares bred in New Mexico MUST RESIDE IN NEW MEXICO A MINIMUM OF 30 CONSECUTIVE DAYS the year the breeding took place AND the year of pregnancy before leaving the state of New Mexico or the resulting foals(s) are ineligible to be registered as New Mexico Breds.
If a Broodmare (Dam, Donor Mare (open or carrying) and/or Recipient Mares) bred to a registered NM Stallion, spends any part of the pregnancy outside the state of New Mexico, the mare must be enrolled in the Export Broodmare program each applicable year.
All mares MUST be registered in the NM Permanent Broodmare Registry no later than September 1st of the breeding year or penalties will apply to all foals. Once registered, a mare is registered for her life.
The owner must be a current year member to register any horse with NMHBA. Click here to go to membership application.
