KMSHA
Re-Opens Mares Registration Books
The Board of Directors of the KMSHA in a meeting held on
April 8, 2008 have agreed to open the books for registration
and certification of Mares who will meet the qualifications
and standards of our breed.
The Mare books will only be open for a temporary period
of time. After having many requests over the past
several years for registration of mares and upgrade of
Appendix mares already registered the
association and directors have decided that it was time to
reconsider the issue and re-open the books.
This was also noted and acceptable by our genetic research
associates.
All Examiners should note that strict compliance to the
regulations for breed registration and certification apply.
For more information contact the KMSHA office if necessary
by phone at (502) 863-3545 or e-mail at
office@kmsha.com.
"Members only" may now register their gaited mountain
mares with two Examiners signing off and a video sent to the
KMSHA office.
Newly registered mares will be $100.00, mares who are already
registered Appendix can be fully registered for $50.00.

temporary papers
(foal papers or papers with no gold certification seal) and you are starting the registration process
for your horse when he/she is under saddle:
Owners must submit the
following:

Form. (download the KMSHA
Form or the SMHA Form)

Geldings, including Foundation Geldings. The Foundation
Gelding books for the KMSHA are still open and therefore

to be shown in the KMSHA Official Show circuit each season,
as well as receiving a gold seal on their registration
papers that qualifies them as having met the KMSHA Breed Standards. (See

APPENDIX
MARES
There is currently an
Appendix Mare Registry that is open for mares who meet the
KMSHA Breed Standards. An Appendix mare is a typical
Mountain type horse who has a mountain horse or gaited
horse ancestry and which is approved as Appendix registered
with certain breeding restrictions. She will be eligible to
show at all sanctioned shows, but
any male offspring will have to be
gelded in order to be registered KMSHA. Any females can be
fully KMSHA registered. (see below).
In order to meet the
requirements of registry, the registered Appendix mare if
bred, must be to a Kentucky Mountain registered/certified
stallion.
To be Appendix approved,
you will either need to contact two KMSHA
examiners
in your area, or submit a video tape to the office in order
to register her. You will need to fill out an application
for Appendix registration (KMSHA registration)
and submit five pictures of your horse in addition to the
video or examiners signatures along with $75.00 for
registration and $41.00 for the
DNA. You can send the tail
hairs in at the same time as the application and the DNA
will be submitted for you to U. of KY for identification.
