Deadlines
November 30, 2011
Check off your AQHA to-do list today!
The end of yet another year is closing in, and everyone is in a mad rush to meet deadlines and complete paperwork. In the midst of holiday travels, those deadlines can be hard to keep track of! Read below to see a few of the most-common year-end deadlines and a few others that are coming up.
Horseback Riding Hours
2011 hours are due on December 31. Horseback Riding Hours can be submitted online, by fax or mail. If you are mailing your hours to AQHA, a post mark is acceptable to meet the deadline. You’ll need your PIN to submit hours online.
Incentive Fund
The deadline to nominate your stallion for the AQHA Incentive Fund is November 30. A late fee of one and a half times the original nomination fee will be attached to nominations received from December 1 to January 31. After January 31, the fee is double.
Stallion Breeding Reports
Like Incentive Fund nominations, stallion breeding reports are also due November 30. Your stallion breeding report can be submitted by mail, fax, e-mail or online. AQHA will accept a post mark for stallion breeding reports. We will also accept a fax, e-mail or online submission that is completed before midnight. For more information, read my post about stallion breeding reports.
Foal Registration
If you have a spring foal, it’s probably time to get the paperwork ready to submit to AQHA to receive the cheapest fee schedule for the foal. The first age deadline for foals is at 7 months from the day of birth. If you had a foal born in May, the fee will go up on the 7-month birth day in December. June foals are due in January. You can mail or fax your registration applications to AQHA even if you are missing information. AQHA locks in the registration fee from the time the application is received, and the fee won’t change no matter how long it takes to complete the process. The fee goes from $25 for a birth- to 7-month-old up to $50 until the foal is 1 year of age. The fee increases each year thereafter.

Hello, I’m not sure where we enter a suggestion for rule change with AQHA, but I have a suggestion to give. Pertaining to color registration rules, there should be a distinction between the red dun coloring and the dunalino coloring. Red dun is red (hence I own some), and a dunalino is palomino coloring ( I own one that is no where near red coloring at all). The red dun has dark red points, and the dunalino has brown to grey points points. Even though both colors come from the red base gene and the bodies are lightened up by the dun gene, there is a clear distinction of the two colors. For example: a chestnut/sorrel is red based, and a single dilute gene of red base gives a golden coat with white mane/tail making the horse a palomino. Then you add the dun gene to the mix and you get a dunalino.
Another example: a chestnut/sorrel is red based, and add the dun gene to it and you get a lighter red bodied horse with dark points and dun factor making it a red dun.
Thank you for listening. I hope someone can put this suggestion in for me. Currently my stallion is registered as a palomino when he is clearly a dunalino ( he has a true red dun sire and a palomino dam). His future of siring properly registered foals is going to be in jeopardy for being registered with their correct coloring when he has foals from non-dun gene mares. His first colt born is out of a brown AQHA mare, and the colt is a buttermilk dun. We have not sent in the foal registration application yet due to being rejected for his coloring not corresponding with AQHA rules of genetically having a dun gene parent to qualify as a dun on his papers.
