New Mexico Horse Breeders Association
Promoting the breeding of racing American Quarter Horses & Thoroughbreds in New Mexico since 1961
The New Mexico Horse Breeders' Association promotes the breeding and racing of American Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds in the state. Established in 1961, this non-profit corporation has served as the backbone to an agricultural industry that is a long-standing tradition in New Mexico.
The NMHBA also serves as the official registry for New Mexico-bred horses. It also administers a legislative-mandated incentive fund, which encourages the expansion of the industry and improves the quality of performing athletes. More than ever, horses bred in New Mexico are competitive on a national level and are internationally recognized for their accomplishments.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- Broodmares need to be registered by September 1 of the year they are bred for their foals to be registered without penalty. Once a broodmare is entered into the registry, she is registered for life. The mare must remain in the state of New Mexico for her entire pregnancy and foaling. All rules also apply to recipient mares. Current membership is required when registering any horses.
- If you have a New Mexico-bred that has been renamed or has been given a reissued set of registration papers, you need to get them restamped by the NMHBA office.
- Don't forget to get your yearings stamped "New Mexico-bred" before the New Mexico-bred Yearling Sale in Ruidoso Downs, August 21-22.
