Frequently Asked Questions
about Transferring Ownership....
1. Whose
responsibility is it to transfer ownership?
Under the Animal Pedigree Act, it is the seller’s legal responsibility to
supply the buyer with the transferred certificate within six months of the date of sale.
If a horse is sold as a registered or registerable horse, the buyer is legally entitled to
the certificate at no extra cost. Failure to supply the transferred certificate within six
months is a federal offence and can result in legal action being taken against the seller
by the buyer.
2. What is the difference
between an "and" form of ownership and an "or" form of ownership?
If a horse is recorded in an "and" form of ownership, all owners must sign
future transfers of ownership for the horse and/or its offspring. If recorded in an
"or" form of ownership, only one signature is required for future transfers of
ownership.
3. Can I register the horse in the ownership of a
farm of company?
Farm names, corporations or organizational names will be accepted but an Owner
Authorization form must be completed and returned to the CAHR office before the transfer
will be completed. This form indicates who is authorized to sign documents on behalf of
the owner(s). A form can be obtained from the CAHR office.
4. The person I bought the horse from never updated
their ownership. What do I do?
Certificates of registration are legal documents and the CAHR will not knowingly skip
ownerships. The buyer information on the back of the certificate must be completed in the
name of the person who bought the horse from the recorded owner. Complete a separate
application for transfer of ownership or bill of sale for each additional transfer
required. Forms can be obtained from the CAHR web site or from the office. All transfer
fees must be paid.
Do not alter or erase the buyer’s information on the back of the original
certificate. If this is done, a signed statement from the recorded owner will be required
before the certificate will be transferred.
5. I sold my horse without papers. What do I do?
If a horse is sold without papers, the original certificate must
be submitted to the CAHR office for permanent cancellation. We
require a written statement advising us of the date the horse was
sold without papers.
6. I sold the horse and can’t find the certificate.
Can I transfer ownership at the same time as I request a duplicate
certificate?
Yes, you can do both at once. Complete a Duplicate Certificate request form and a
separate Application for Transfer of Ownership. All applicable duplicate certificate and
transfer fees apply.
7. I am importing a horse from the United States
or I am transferring a US registered horse to a Canadian owner.
What is required for this type of transfer?
AHA-only or IAHA-only registered horses are considered "North
American Transfers" (even if the horse currently resides / has
always been in Canada).
To complete the transfer, we require the following:
1. A completed
Colour and Markings Verification form (draw the markings
from the horse - don't copy them from the AHRA certificate).
2. The original AHA/IAHA certificate with the transfer section completed
(if
the horse is to be transferred). If the horse is on lease or contract
purchase, a note should be submitted with the application and the CAHR
certificate will be issued in the name of the US owner.
3. A copy of the border crossing papers showing when the horse was
imported into Canada or a signed statement with the date the horse
came across the border.
5. The fee is $58.30 for members or $68.90 for non-members, plus $31.80
(members) or $42.40 (non-members) for each additional transfer that is
required. An additional transfer fee is not always required and is
dependant on when the horse was imported into Canada compared to the date
of ownership of the new owner.
**A SPECIAL RATE is currently being
offered in cases where the horse is not a true import (has not lived
outside of Canada) and the new ownership is exactly the same as what
appears on the US registration. Effective January 1st, 2007 until
further notice, we are offering this special rate of $37.10 to CAHR
Members that qualify.
Payment can be made by certified cheque, money order or credit card.

FORM
Submit the original certificate by registered mail or ExpressPost to:
CAHR
#113, 37 Athabascan Ave
Sherwood Park, AB T8A 4H3
8. I am leasing a stallion/mare from the US for breeding. Does this
horse have to be registered with the CAHR / CPAR?
Yes, the horse must be registered in Canada before any progeny will be
eligible for registration. If the horse is being leased or is being
purchased on contract, the horse will be recorded in the ownership of the
US owner. The original Arabian Horse Association (AHA)
certificate must be submitted to the CAHR and a Canadian certificate will
be issued. When the horse returns to the United States, the owner submits
the Canadian certificate to the AHA who will then re-issue a US certificate.
*Note: The CAHR does not recognize leases and upon
application for registration, the RECORDED owner(s) of the dam/sire
must sign in the appropriate sections. In order to be shown as the
BREEDER, an Assignment of Breeder
Designation may be filled out, however this does not entitle
the bearer to ownership of the foal. The Recorded owner of the Dam
at the time of foaling will need to sign the Foaling section and if
a transfer is to take place they must also sign the Transfer of Ownership
section or provide a proper bill of sale. A transfer fee will apply.
