Hardship Fees for AMHR to Be Cut in Half for 2012
Morton, IL – The American Miniature Horse Registry will slash its fees for hardshipping qualified horses into the AMHR by half from January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012.
The hardship fees for eligible stallions will drop from $400 to $200 for the next calendar year while the fees for eligible mares and geldings will be reduced from $200 to $100.
These tremendous offers come by action of the organization’s national board at its recent national convention.
“Who doesn’t love a sale?” noted ASPC/AMHR officer Lewella Tembreull. She added, “This particular sale is a win-win for our organization and our members. Our members benefit because many have horses to hardship. In turn, the association receives additional work, and there will be more horses registered that can then participate in shows or programs such as the Breeders Futurities.”
Miniatures that may benefit from this price drop are any horses currently registered with the American Miniature Horse Registry and American Shetland Pony Club that have reached their third birthday and that meet the height requirements of the AMHR. Other horses registered with a competing registry may also be eligible.
In other news for the American Miniature Horse Registry, owners and enthusiasts with registered three-year-old AMHR horses are reminded to update temporary registrations to permanent on those eligible horses. Updates from temporary to permanent are due by Dec. 31.
The American Miniature Horse registry is the oldest Miniature Horse registry in existence. Each year it registers anywhere from 7,500 to upwards of 10,000 horses. AMHR conducts a national championship show each fall in Tulsa, OK. This event draws more than small equine, making it the single largest event for Miniature Horses in existence. Each year, AMHR gives away in excess of $60,000 in its futurities, incentives and stakes.
