Registration Process
Complete the Online Form & Pay
Fill in breeder, pedigree, and foal details online and pay the registration fee. If the dam is Appendix A, B, or C and the foal is a filly, an inspection will also be required.
Obtain Service Certificate
If you don't own the stallion, obtain a service certificate from the stallion owner confirming the breeding.
Download & Take to Your Vet
After submission you'll receive a partially-populated form. Your vet completes the microchip number, diagrams, and their verification section at the foal's inspection.

Return the vet-completed, signed form to the Society office. HPS staff verify the pedigree and issue the passport and registration certificate.
