When you get married, do you have to send in all your registration certificates to AQHA to update each horse's ownership with your married name? Or does it matter?

I didn't have to do anything, just asked them to change my last name. The horses who where here before still have my maiden name on their papers but all the horses are under the same membership number.

TMEquine - 2014-04-23 7:35 PM Well that's bologna!! Do you have to pay for the name change as well as the new membership?
They told me I had to and buy a new membership too. I just waited until it expired to update my name and transfer any new horses. Still have a couple registered under my maiden name.

I just did mine over the phone. No charge. The only reason I can think that you would need to send the pepers in is if you run AQHA and are an Amateur (so they match) or for futurities since they often write checks to the name on the papers. I have a gelding with an old set of blue papers that I won't send because I don't want to get the new yellow one back on him. For my other 2, they are already on the new certificate so I will send theirs in. They said it cost around $15 to change the name on the papers.

Same here. I didn't send anything in that I already owned, just added the new last name when I sent in a transfer and they changed the name on my membership number in the computer.

Same here. You dont have to do or pay anything. They'll change it in their system - you dont have to update paperes ... we just kept ours how they are ...
