PREFIX

To avoid duplication of horse names, members with Pinto stock are required to make applications for a name or stud prefix, which will be used before the name of any horse/s owned by them in the Pinto registry.

Once a prefix is approved by the registrar it enables the registrar to process any further applications for registration with a minimum delay. You do not have to own a stud to record a prefix.

BREED REQUIREMENTS

As long as they have the correct colour requirements:

Pinto Mares and Geldings are accepted with unknown breeding Pinto Stallions must have one registered parent (not necessarily a Pinto).
