PROCEDURES

WHEN BUYING A REGISTERED PONY
When purchasing a pony registered with the Australian Pony Stud Book Society, the following checklist is suggested.

1. If the pony is four years of age and over it must be adult registered.
2. Is the pony under 4 years of age?
If so, it must be foal recorded, or it may be
adult registered if a filly or gelding. Foal recorded ponies must be adult registered between the ages of 2 to 4 years.
3. Do the brands and markings match those on the certificate of registration?
4. Is the vendor the registered owner of the pony shown on the certificate of registration?
5. Is the vendor a current financial member of the APSB society?
Members are issued with a membership card each year.

IF YOU PURCHASE A REGISTERED PONY
1. You must become a member of the Australian Pony Stud Book Society before your new pony can be transferred into your ownership in the society's records.
2. A transfer form (or the reverse side of the certificate of registration) must be completed by both vendor and purchaser. Foal recordings and old registration certificates are required to have a transfer form signed by both parties.
3. The certificate of registration, signed transfer and a transfer fee of $20.00 must be forwarded to the Federal Office of the Australian Pony Stud Book Society within 30 days of purchase.

YOUR OBLIGATIONS AS A MEMBER
1. Members must abide by the Rules and Regulations of the Australian Pony Stud Book Society. A copy of the Rules & Regulations is sent to all new members. Please contact the Federal Office if you require a copy of these regulations.
