Question 1

How does IMHR membership work ?

Accepted Answer

We have multiple membership categories:
- Single:  For an individual member
- Family: For a family unit, you decide what that family unit looks like
- Youth:  For individual under 18 years

Each type of membership is allocated a unique membership number.  Any horses or ponies you own will be registered against that membership number.

You must be a financial member to have a horse or pony registered in your name.
You must be a financial member to show at IMHR shows and events.

There are two ways to join us.  You can use the Online Shop or you can print forms to fill in and post.

Question 2

Do I need a stud prefix ?

Accepted Answer

If you want to start breeding and registering the foals, they will need to carry a registered stud prefix.

There is no fee to register a stud prefix, however, it must be unique - you cannot use a Stud Prefix that is already registered by another member.  The registrar will inform you if the prefix you requested has already been taken.

The stud prefix must be included in the name of all foals bred by the prefix owner.

Question 3

Do I need to be a member to show at IMHR shows ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all handlers must be financial members of IMHR to show at IMHR events.

Question 4

When is my membership due for renewal ?

As per Constitution:
(4) A member whose subscription is not paid by 1 November shall be automatically dropped from the Register of Members unless the Committee decides otherwise. A joining fee as determined by clause (1) will need to be paid in addition to membership fee for reinstatement.
