advantage of either of these reduced-price offers, all of the paperwork needs to be in order, meaning other requirements of registration must still be met. In the case of reg-


istering a horse that’s 3 years old or older, if the application is complicated, AQHA might have to charge a nonrefundable $100 complex-transaction fee in


addition to the registration fee. This will typically be done when AQHA’s registration department must handle multiple genera- tions of horses to get the horse registered, or if a DNA type has to be built for horses that are no longer available for DNA typ- ing.
