NORTH AMERICAN PERUVIAN HORSE ASSOCIATION

             INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
          REGISTRATION OF A HORSE
         	    WITH NAPHA


1.   Complete the NAPHA's registration application form.  (Please type or print in
     ink and be sure to write out the sex of the horse instead of using initials.)
     Be sure that all sections are completed and signed by the appropriate owner(s:
           a)   Top third is to be signed by the recorded owner (or Recorded Agent 
                or Recorded Lessee) of the dam at the time of foaling.  "Owner" 
                (Foal will be registered to this person unless there is a "Sale of
                an Eligible but Unregistered Foal" form returned with the transfer
                fee at the time of registration.)
           b)   Middle third (Breeder's Certificate) is to be signed by the recorded 
                owner (or Recorded Agent or Recorded Lessee) of the dam at the time 
                of service. "Breeder"
           c)   Bottom third (Service Certificate) is to be signed by the recorded 
                owner (or Recorded Agent or Recorded Lessee) of the sire at the time
                of service.


2.   Complete the markings section on the back of the application.  Be sure to do so 
     with the horse in front of you to insure accurate markings for identification.  
     Please add: EYE COLOR (Dark, amber, hazel, blue, etc.) to the markings 
     description. It is helpful in determining color.


3.   Return to the NAPHA with:
           a)   the appropriate fee (see current Fee Schedule)
           b)   the required color photographs (at least two - one of each side 
                which show all markings as well as the face of the horse).  Please
                clearly label photos with horse's name.  We would prefer that the 
                photographs NOT be Polaroid type unless they are of excellent 
                quality - clearly and accurately showing the color and markings of
                the horse.  If the photos submitted do not show all four legs from
		each side and the designated color of the horse, the Registrar will
		be required to request additional ones.  Digital or color copies not
allowed. 4. If a sire is only registered with the AAOBPPH and was registered there after September 30, 1999, verification of parentage for the sire must be submitted prior to acceptance of any foals for registration. Please note: ALL ungelded males registered or transferred to the NAPHA will be registered with a "T" number indicating that they have not yet been registered for breeding purposes. These horses will be subject to NAPHA rules regarding registration of stallions for breeding (those rules require DNA typing by UC Davis, a veterinarian's statement that the horse has two normal, descended testicles and a fee of $125 which includes the DNA typing costs.) If you have any questions, please contact the NAPHA office.
