How much does it cost to change a horse's name in the AQHA?

My horse's registered name is Mizz Kirks Luck but I want to change it to Never Say Woah. How can I find out if there are other horses with the name? And how much does it cost???How much does it cost to change a horse's name in the AQHA?Changing a horse檚 name (Rule 215):



*The horse cannot have competed in any AQHA approved event (show or race)



*The horse cannot have earned a special achievement award.



*The horse cannot have earned any money or award with an AQHA affiliate as shown on AQHA records.



*The horse cannot have ever appeared on any breeding document submitted to AQHA or have any registered offspring. (This means that if said horse is a mare, said mare cannot even have been on a breeding report ?even if the breeding was five years ago and didn檛 result in a foal.)





Those are the rules. If you want to change your horse檚 name, we need a signed statement requesting the change and your name choices. You may send one name choice or 10. Just be sure to number them. One is your favorite, two the second favorite and so on. The fee for name change is $50 ($90 if your membership is not current).





So you have to make sure your horse does not have any points and has not had any offspring. If they have you cannot change it. You aksi have to be the current owner of the horse according to AQHA papers and when you send in your request I suggest you send in other names as well. I could not find a horse by that name on the AQHA website but there may be some horses listed in the system that are not listed on the web so have a second or third choice.
