REGISTRATION OF BROODMARES

Before a foal can be certified as “Nebraska Bred”, its dam must have been registered prior to foaling with the official registrar.

An Application for Registration of Broodmare, including a notarized affidavit of mare ownership, a copy of the back of the mare’s Jockey Club papers, showing the ownership, and the required registration fee must be submitted to the official registrar prior to the birth of the foal. The mare must have been in Nebraska for ninety days immediately prior to foaling, except that such ninety day period may be reduced to thirty days in the case of a mare which is purchased at a nationally recognized thoroughbred sale.

A “late fee” shall be charged for an Application for Registration of Broodmare after September 1 of the year bred, unless said mare is purchased in foal, in which case the mare owner shall have 60 days to register said mare at the regular fee; however, in any event, an Application for Registration of Broodmare and applicable fee must be submitted prior to the birth of the foal.

The official registrar shall issue a Certificate of Registration for a broodmare on receipt of satisfactory evidence of the ownership, location and identity of the mare, the completion of the required forms and the submission of the required registration fee.

In the event of a sale or transfer of all or part ownership of a broodmare that is registered with the official registry, the new owner(s) must apply to the official registrar by completing a transfer of broodmare ownership form. This form and the applicable fee must be filed with the official registrar.

A “late fee” shall be charged for a transfer of broodmare ownership submitted after September 1 of the year bred, unless said mare is purchased in foal, in which case the new mare owner(s) shall have 60 days to submit the transfer of ownership at the regular fee. A current copy of both sides of the Jockey Club papers for the mare must accompany the broodmare application.
