REGISTRATION
TIPS
Why Should
I Register My Horse?
The value of a registered horse is much greater than if it is
unregistered. Registering your gaited horse with the PSHR, whether
you're active in breeding or not, increases the value of the horse. It
makes it possible for future owners to breed and register offspring
from it. A horse's registration papers provide a history of the horse's
ownership and breeder. The recorded pedigree keeps track of the horse
and its owners. You leave a permanent record that your horse was here.
So many horses come into our lives, and then they are gone without ever
leaving a trace. Don't let yours be one of them. It also allows your
horse to be shown in some open horse shows that accept registered horses only.
How Do I
Register My Horse?
Registration begins with an application. Applications can be found on
this web site, or they can be mailed to you from our office.

Photos:
The photos accompanying your application for registration become a
permanent part of the horse's registration file, so they should be as
good as possible. Following are a few tips on getting the best shots
you can.
A minimum of two photos showing your entire horse from both sides must
be provided with the registration application. Included in these shots
should be one of the horse's right side and one of the left side, but
you may also include one front view and one rear view, if you wish to
have more identification on file with the PSHR. Remember that these
photos provide indisputable proof of your horse's appearance.
The photos make up the permanent identification of your horse.
Consequently, they need to show the animal as accurately as possible.
Please don't haul a muddy horse out of the pasture and shoot a few
quick pictures. While the horse doesn't need to be spotless, all
markings must show clearly. To ensure the photos are sharp, take them
on a sunny day with the sun to the photographer's back. Take the photos
away from distracting backgrounds and away from other horses. It is
preferred that only the horse being registered appear in the photos. One photo will be
used on your horse's PSHR registration certificate.
Transferring
Registration Papers:
Why should I transfer ownership of my horse?
Think of it as transferring the title to an automobile. The horse is
duly recorded in the books of the PSHR as belonging to you.
Transferring ownership of your new Pleasure Saddle Horse into your name
as soon as you purchase it guarantees that you will be able to maintain
the value of the horse as a registered animal. To transfer a horse, the
PSHR must have the signature of the seller on the back of the
registration papers. If you delay in filing this application with the
PSHR, the odds of the registration papers becoming lost increase, and
locating the seller years after you buy the horse also becomes
increasingly difficult. Paying the transfer fee now will save you hours
of frustration and expense further down the road. If papers are lost
they can only be replaced by the registered owner of the horse. If they
have not been transferred into your name, the PSHR does not consider
you to be the owner.
To transfer your new Pleasure Saddle Horse you should complete one of
the transfer blocks on the back of the original certificate. The
previous owner will need to sign the back of the certificate and you
will need to fill in your information and the date you bought the
horse.
Send the original certificate to the PSHR along with the transfer fee. PEASE
NOTE: You will not receive a new
certificate of registration. Ownership of horse is transferred by the
block on the back of the papers. The original certificate will be
returned to you after the transfer has been duly recorded.
Please allow 6 weeks for the return of the registration certificate.
