ELGIN, TX—JUNE 17, 2026—Texas horse breeders have until June 30, 2026, to accredit broodmares expected to foal in Texas during 2027 at the current $50 accreditation fee.

Owners with broodmares already accredited do not need to take any additional action until it is time to accredit the resulting foal.

Breeders seeking to accredit mares can CLICK HERE complete a breeding stock application and submit it to TQHA before the June 30 deadline to take advantage of the reduced fee.
