Registration
Registration services are available to the AMR* members and non members.
Registration of a horse or pony with the AMR* entitles the owner to a quality registration certificate as well as the inclusion of the horse or pony's details on the Online Stud Book.
The AMR* offers the owner the opportunity to purchase lamination for their registration certificate.
As the AMR* accepts other recognized miniature equine
organizations registration papers, it is optional to re-register horses or ponies with the AMR*.
For those enthusiasts that do wish to dual register, a quality
AMR* registration certificate will be issued. No horse or pony can be concurrently registered as both a horse and pony within the AMR*.
REGISTRATION FOR HORSES AND PONIES PREVIOUSLY
UNREGISTERED WITH ANY MINIATURE ASSOCIATION
A foal certificate will be issued to those foals registered with the AMR*, until the horse or pony is 24 months old, at which time it becomes due to be upgraded to temporary adult. When the horse or pony reaches 48 months it becomes due to be upgraded to permanent adult.
The owner can choose the category in which they would like to register their horse or pony and can change categories if they desire. A horse or pony’s current registration certificate must be returned with all upgrades and changes of category.
The owner can measure their own horses and ponies as the onus of accuracy is then solely their own. Horses are measured at the base of the last hair of the mane and ponies are measured at the top of the wither.
Horses and ponies that exceed the maximum height for category can be changed, by the owner, to the correct category.
Horses and ponies must have up to date registration to be eligible to be shown or have progeny registered.
There are three separate height categories for horses and three separate height categories for ponies to enable all eligible miniature and small equines to be registrable.
REGISTRATION FOR HORSES AND PONIES CURRENTLY REGISTERED WITH ANOTHER MINIATURE ORGANIZATION OR THE APSB.
Foals can be registered with the AMR* if the sire and dam have up to date registration with other recognised organizations.
The AMR* can upgrade to Temporary Adult, Foals currently recorded with other recognised organizations
The AMR* can upgrade to Permanent, Temporary Adults currently registered with other recognised organizations.
NOTE: If a copy of both sides of the other organization's registration papers are not supplied with an AMR* registration application, a statutory declaration may be required to record bloodlines.
If an ownerwants the AMR* to record bloodlines on a horse or pony, previously unregistered with the AMR*, they may need to provide a Statutory Declaration declaring the information given is correct and naming the horse or pony they are applying to register. The exception to this is, if the horse or pony is a foal and the sire and dam are registered with the AMR* and they have supplied a stallion return to the AMR* before the foal was born or the owner is supplying a copy of the foal's sire and dam's current registration papers from another recognised miniature equine organization and a copy of a stallion return showing the correct breeding dates.
