In the event a mare has not been registered and an application of accreditation is filed, notarized documentation verifying a Louisiana domicile at the time of foaling must be submitted for approval of accreditation, along with the $250 mare registration fee and the appropriate foal accreditation fee.
- A change of domicile form is due within 14 days of change of domicile. If an inspector is sent to inspect a mare and she is not at the last reported domicile, the mare owner may be subject to the re-inspection fee of $100.
- The report of a mare leaving the state has to be filed with the L.T.B.A office before the mare leaves. Failure to report an out-of-state move will result in a fine of $250. The fine may be waived with the proper proof of a Louisiana foaling and/or domicile record submitted and approved by the Grievance Committee. The mare owner has the burden of proof and all costs associated with it.
The inspections are conducted by an independent contractor. You are required by the Association to present the mare at the time the inspector calls upon you to do so. Failure to present the mare may jeopardize the accreditation of her foal.
