In order for a foal to be eligible to be registered New Mexico Bred:
- The foal’s sire was in the NM Stallion registry before time of breeding and is standing in New Mexico.
- The foal’s dam was registered in the NM Broodmare registry no later than September 1st of the year the dam was bred.
- Starting with the 2017 breeding season, should the mare leave the state after being bred and prior to foaling, a fee of $500 will be due in addition to any other normal, applicable fees (Export Broodmare Form). The resulting foal from said breeding must be born in New Mexico or pay a $500 Out of State Foaling Fee, due at time of registration.
Otherwise, the foal’s dam (and/or recipient mare) must remain in the state of New Mexico during pregnancy and foaling. The Board of Trustees, at any time, can demand that the Owner of the mare in question submit to the Board sufficient proof that the horse remained in the State of New Mexico during pregnancy and foaling. TRUSTEE APPROVAL IS NOT REQUIRED FOR EMERGENCY VETERINARIAN CARE
