Notice to Horsemen

Effective January 1, 2016: Pursuant to Administrative Rule 69.5-01-09-02(4)(g) a foal registered by an owner who does not reside in North Dakota must be inspected by a North Dakota state-licensed veterinarian at the expense of the owner. A copy of the Racing Commission’s Veterinarian Certificate for Out-of-State Owners form can be found on the Commission website on the Horsemen/Breeders Fund tab. While enforcement of this rule may have been lax in the past, the rule will be strictly enforced for any foals registered on or after January 1, 2016. Any registration for a foal with an out-of-state owner not accompanied by the certificate of inspection will be rejected.
