Question: The person I bought the horse from is not the last person listed as the owner according to AQHA records?

Answer: Since AQHA needs to make sure our records are as accurate as possible, we do not knowingly skip an ownership. We do not have a deadline or penalty as to when a transfer should be submitted to AQHA, nor do we charge any type of additional fees, only one $20 transfer fee will be required. We also do not require in between buyers to be current members. Only the ultimate buyer is required to have a current AQHA membership. A transfer report will be needed from each person who owned the horse, along with with horse’s original certificate of registration.
