It is no longer a requirement to have your horse DNA tested, (unless requested by the Registrar) DNA is optional and this can be completed by submitting the DNA Form and hair sample. Please allow 90 days for your registration to be processed in DNA is being completed. This is due to the delays involved in processing the DNA information. DNA requests are sent to Massey University.
