Columbus, OH — The Dec. 31 deadline to register your 2020 foals without penalty is just around the corner.

The foal registration application, fees and mating certificate all must be postmarked or submitted online by Dec. 31 to stay at the $185 registration fee. Any registrations missing one or more of those pieces are subject to a $265 late fee.

Check on the status of your mating certificates by logging into your USTA MyAccount and clicking “Broodmare Activity.” There will be a ‘Yes’ in the “M.C.Released” column once the mating certificate is received in the office or released electronically by the stallion owner.

You can register your foals, or submit a no foal report, online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If the mare is owned by you, a stable you are a member of or by a person you are an authorized agent for, you can start the foal registration process by clicking that same “Broodmare Activity” link. If that mare does not appear in that list, click “Online Services” from the black navigation bar, then “Horse” and “Foal Registration” to get started.

You can still send a Foal Registration Application or Live Foal/No Foal Report by mail, email or fax. If you have old forms at home, please be sure to use these links so you have the most up-to-date forms.

More information about foal registration can be found on this page of the USTA website. If you have any further questions, please contact Member Services at 877.800.8782 or memberservices@ustrotting.com.
