Reserve your next foal's registered name.
From The Q-Racing Journal
Expecting a foal within the next year? Got a registered name in mind for that baby, but you’re afraid someone else might take it? Here are some tips for how you can best use AQHA’s registration options.
Reserve a Name: You can reserve a foal name for $75 for one year. The name you reserve must meet all AQHA naming guidelines as stated in Rule 214 in the AQHA handbook. Foal name reservations are only good for one year. However, you can renew that reservation for another $75. AQHA completed 90 name reservations in 2011.
Re-Use a Name: Rule 214 was amended to allow some registered names to be reused. But don’t get your hopes up – Wimpy P-1 is not available.
Originally, Rule 214 stated: “Each horse for which registration is applied must be given a name, acceptable to AQHA, which does not conflict with the name of any other horse registered with AQHA, either living or dead.”
