HSI extends registration
deadline for older horses
H
ORSE Sport Ireland (HSI)
has extended its deadline for
registering yearlings and older
horses at the 2022 rates until
March 16.
Having made changes to its pricing
structure for its Studbook and
Registration services that came into
effect from January 1, 2023, HSI offered
a lead-in period of six weeks at the 2022
rates to enable breeders and owners to
avail of the previous adult registration
rate.
That period ended on February 14 and
HSI would like to thank those breeders
who registered the horses within this
timeframe.
Since
the
announcement
last
December, HSI has received a
higher than anticipated number of
registrations, with adult registration
figures up over 360 per cent, year-todate, on 2022.
While the deadline was advertised
extensively through national, regional
and industry media, shared widely
on social media and distributed via
email, some owners and breeders were
unaware of the date and were therefore
unable to register and process payment
before February 14.
HSI understands that this can happen
and is pleased to now extend the
deadline for four weeks - until March 16.
This will be the only extension to
the reduced fees and, from close of
business on March 16, they will move to
the following new rates.
Anyone who has already paid the
new rates after the deadline passed for
adult registrations will be credited the
difference to their account - or will be
refunded if requested.
HSI reminds anyone who has a foal
or foals to register this year to do so
at their earliest convenience, as fees
rise substantially for registering the
same animal as an adult next year.
