New Online Stud Directory
The AHSA has a new format for the Online Stud Directory. Members will now be able to log in and add their own listings, and then modify or change the listing as their needs require.
All listings from the previous Directory have been added to the new system, so there may be some changes needed from members. Please check your listing, and if any details are incorrect or missing - please register a new listing (instructions below). Then, email our webmaster at amy@impressivewebdesign.com.au so your old listing can be deleted. If your listing is not present, register to create a listing.

Animal Health Australian announces new communication Website for EADRA
Excerpt from an email from Dr. Mike Bond, CEO of Animal Health Australia. 17 June, 2010
Animal Health Australia is coordinating discussions across all sectors of the horse community,
including recreational and racing bodies. This is a challenging task, given the many and varied
interests and views amongst Australia’s horse owners, and the need to reach widespread
(but not 100%) agreement before 1 December.
To assist communications and consultation, we have established a dedicated website: http://www.animalhealthaustralia.com.au/horse-owners-and-the-eadra/
The purpose of this website is to provide horse organisations and individual owners with a central
reference point for authoritative information about the EADRA, possible levy collection options,
and progress towards the 1 December deadline. It should also be a useful place to raise any
questions and exchange relevant information about forthcoming meetings, etc.
We hope you will find this a helpful avenue for communication, and encourage you to publicise
this link through your networks.

Derivative Registries - Change of Minimum Percentages
After consideration of the Derivative Survey Results at the December Board meeting it was decided:
“That we introduce the Minimum 12.5% Arabian blood across our Derivative Registries immediately while at the same time Derivative Breeders can continue to register lower percentage horses that comply with the present Regulations. All Derivative horses registered after 1st August 2012 must comply with the new Regulations in order to be registered”
This will not affect horses of a lower percentage already registered however any future breeding of those horses will need to be in line with the new Regulations. The Board is mindful of the adjustments some Derivative breeders may need to make to their breeding programs to comply, hence the time period given.

Rush Fees
There are an increasing number of registration applications being received with requests for
priority processing to enable the horse being shown at forth coming show etc.
In fairness to all members it has been decided to introduce a surcharge for any registrations that require such priority.
While we aim for a 2 week turn around in peak periods this cannot be achieved,
in the majority of cases registrations are processed within 2-3 days of receipt.
Please realise that paying with a credit card will delay your application by a
day or two. If the horse requires DNA or hair storage time must be allocated by the applicant
for these, the turnaround time at the laboratory is out of the Society’s control and varies according to the time of the year.
In order to guarantee priority of processing your application the following fees will apply:
Processing within 2 weeks of receipt - $50
Processing within 1 weeks of receipt - $100
This will ensure attention to the initial application, any further delays due to incorrect submission are not guaranteed.
Gelding Amnesty
There will be an amnesty for the registration of Geldings until the 31st December 2009.
All geldings will be registered at minimum fees where applications are received between October 1st and December 31st 2009.

News from the Lab - Buffy Coats
The laboratory has advised that as many of the Buffy Coats are 10-14 years old they may
be starting to deteriorate.
There is no guarantee that a DNA sample can be extracted from a Buffy Coat.
Members would be advised to have any Buffy Coats for their horses converted to DNA
(cost $25) or ensure that a hair sample correctly stored is available as a back up.
