FHANA Board of Directors make changes to FHANA Rules and Regulations

2.5.1. Online Recording of Breeding Data- Beginning with the 2011 breeding season, all owners (or their FHANA -approved North American representatives) of Studbook Stallions with Approved Breeding Privileges shall be required to record all breedings and/or semen shipments by utilizing the www.startpuntpaarden.nl website.  Breedings and shipments of fresh or frozen semen should be recorded daily, but must  be done at least once per week in any week in which breedings and/or shipments occur.  Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the imposition of a fine and/or revocation of breeding privileges. 

2.5.1.1.2.5.3. Continued Use of Stallion Record Books and Paper Breeding Certificates – The continued use of paper breeding certificates is strongly discouraged but is an acceptable alternative for any stallion owner or approved North American representative who does not have the ability to utilize the online system.  If this method is to be used, the stallion owner or representative shall submit the season’s Stallion Report and copies (both the mare owner’s copy and the FHANA copy) of the paper Breeding Certificates to FHANA prior to December 1 immediately following the breeding season.  Voided certificates must also be submitted; all numbers must be accounted for.  Because of the additional office work required to process the paper reports, a fee of $25.00 must be submitted with each certificate filed in 2012.  Starting with the 2013 breeding season, the fee will be $100.00 per certificate.  Stallion reports filed after the December 1 deadline will be assessed a penalty of $1000.00 per stallion.

2.5.2. Breeding Certificates/Birth Announcements- In accordance with KFPS Registration Rules, Article 15, and beginning with mares bred during the 2012 breeding season, the Breeding Certificates/Birth Announcement forms will be sent directly by FHANA to the mare owners/breeders based upon the breeding data entered by the stallion owners/managers and any paper-based Stallion Reports.  Beginning with foals born in 2013, Stallion owners will no longer have the ability to withhold breeding certificates pending payment of fees and are therefore advised to protect their interests by contract and/or advance payment.  FHANA will NOT delay or deny registration of foals born in 2013 and thereafter due to any financial dispute between stallion and mare owners.
