Identification
Canadian horses are identified with the aid of an electronic implant
placed under the skin of the neck or by tattooing an identification
number inside the lower lip. It is still acceptable and permitted to use
tattooing as a means of identification. The identification number,
whether by implant or tattoo, must always be recorded on the
registration certificate. Implants are available at the CLRC.
You must also register the name of your herd or farm before registering
your colt or filly.
The name of the horse you are registering for the first time, will
include within it, the name of the herd or farm, the sire, as well as
the name you have chosen for the animal. Ex. "Desautels Prince Coco"
where "Desautels" is the name of the herd, "Prince" the name of the
sire, and Coco the given name of the horse.
For more information on naming your Canadian horse, please select the
Horse Name page.

Genotype DNA Testing
DNA stands for deoxyribo neucleic acid. This matter contains the genetic
information of an animal. It is its signature, its fingerprint, its
personal identification. The genotype DNA test serves to determine
parental links, to identify horses and is an important component in the
registration of foals and stallions.
Genotype DNA testing is now mandatory for all stallions, whether they
are being used for breeding purposes or not. No breeding certificate
will be issued without it. The test must be completed BEFORE ANY MARE IS
BRED.
Genotype DNA testing is also used to verify identification and lineage
during random checks of every 50th registration.
To obtain the necessary supplies and form required for EACH HORSE, write
to or telephone the CLRC. A payment of $60.00 PER HORSE must accompany
the application form.
After completing the form and taking the samples from the mane, send
them directly to MAXXAM Analytics laboratories at:
Maxxam Analytics
4-335 Laird Road
Guelph, ON
N1H 6J3
The laboratory will send the test confirmations for each horse to the
Canadian Livestock Records Corporation and to the CHBA. The CLRC will
mail the certificate to the breeder.
How to obtain a sample for the test
A sample consists of twenty horse hairs plucked from the mane of the
horse to be tested. They may not be cut, but must be pulled out so that
the root is intact. The genotype DNA testing is done on the root. The
sample must be affixed with adhesive tape to the form sent to you by the
CLRC and bearing the horse's name. Only one sample may be sent per
envelope.
The results will be available in about four to five weeks.
Breeding Certificate
A genotype DNA test certificate must be obtained for each reproducing
stallion BEFORE ANY BREEDING OF MARES TAKES PLACE. (See
Genotype DNA
Testing)
When breeding a mare, the stallion's owner must provide the breeding
certificate and send a copy to the CLRC where the necessary forms are
also available at the following address:

Microchip and Scanner
New EIDAP electronic identification (microchips) - ISO norms
On November 24th 2005 the board of directors met and adopted the use of
a new microchip electronic identification. This microchip conforms with
the North American norms on the identification of equines. This falls
into the animal identification program. For the CHBA it will come into
effect as of December 1st 2005.
