PLEASE NOTE:

Standardbred Canada would like to remind all horsepeople that all foals must be parentage verified by DNA and microchipped in order to be granted registration and all racehorses will need to be microchipped in order to be eligible to race in 2022. Please contact the identification technician in your area to schedule an appointment.

If a member would like to have his horse freeze branded in addition to the microchip, the cost will be as follow:

1 or 2 horses in one location: $135.00 per horse

3 to 5 horses in one location: $120.00 per horse

6 or more horses in one location: $90.00 per horse

In order to provide a safe environment for both the members and the ID technicians, please ensure that all personnel who will be in close distance of the technician wears a mask at all times.

When presenting your foals for microchipping, please ensure that they are in controlled area (box stall, chute or trailer) with sufficient lighting and wearing halters before the arrival of the technician.

If you schedule an appointment to have the technician identify your horse and cancel within 48 hours without good cause, you will be invoiced a cancellation fee of $150.00 plus mileage ($0.75 per km).

Tous les poulains doivent avoir leur lien de parenté prouvé au moyen de l’ADN et être micropucés pour être éligible à l’enregistrement et tous les chevaux de courses devront être micropucés pour courser en 2022. Nous vous demandons de contacter le technicien d’identification de votre région pour prendre un rendez-vous.

Afin de fournir un environnement sûr pour les membres et le technicien, veuillez vous assurer que tout le personnel qui se trouvera à proximité du technicien porte un masque à tout moment.

Il est requis que lorsque vos rejetons sont présentés au technicien, ceux-ci doivent être dans un endroit contrôlé (stalle, couloir ou remorque de chevaux), dont l'éclairage est suffisant et que le(s) rejeton(s) porte(nt) un licou.

Si vous avez pris un rendez-vous avec le technicien et que vous cancellez dans les 48 heures avant le rendez-vous sans raison valable, une somme de 150,00$ vous sera facturé plus kilometrage (0,75$/km).
