Ontario Resident Mare Program Enrollment Reminder

Registration forms and enrollment fees must be submitted prior to foaling in Ontario. To qualify as an Ontario Resident Mare, the mare must be enrolled with the Program each year and meet all eligibility requirements as outlined in the Program Criteria booklet. There is an annual enrollment fee of $50 per mare.

By enrolling in the Program, foals out of registered Ontario Resident Mares are considered Ontario Bred Foals and as such are eligible for Ontario Bred Rewards in their two and three-year-old seasons.

Ontario Bred Rewards are payable to and intended to directly reward the breeder or mare owner who made the decision to participate by enrolling the mare in the Ontario Resident Mare Program.
