Columbus, OH — The USTA is proud to introduce another expansion of USTA online services via MyAccount. The “seller signatures” feature has been added in conjunction with the Tattersalls Summer Mixed Sale at The Meadowlands on Sunday (July 15).

For horses that are consigned to the sale, an owner in current membership with the USTA can now electronically sign off as seller. No need to fax or mail in the Application for Transfer to the sale — do it online 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Even if the horse has hard copy registration papers, owners can still sign as seller electronically, just remember to send your hard copy papers to the Tattersalls sales office.

“After receiving an extensive amount of feedback from the major sales companies within the industry, the USTA has once again been able to build a product that will make the lives of our membership easier, and this is just one phase,” said USTA Registrar TC Lane. “Plans are already in the works to expand this type of transaction to private sales of horses from person to person, which again will make doing USTA business much smoother and more efficient.”

Tattersalls’ David Reid says his entire office staff is excited to work with the USTA staff that is responsible for this new development.

“As with all new applications, it will take time to work out and educate the public, but we are willing to work with the USTA to develop this new process that will be a positive move in the right direction towards all registrations and transfers to be completed electronically in the future.”

If you have a horse in an upcoming sale using this feature, once you have logged into your USTA MyAccount, go to the “Work in Progress at the USTA” box and click “Seller Signatures.” The horses you have consigned, for example this weekend in the Tattersalls Summer Mixed Sale, will be listed and you can sign by selecting “Release.” On that same screen, next to the horse’s name, is an indicator as to whether the horse has hard copy registration papers or if the papers are held electronically at the USTA.
