Section 71IAC13.5-1-1. "Indiana bred" defined

   (a) "Indiana bred" means any properly registered thoroughbred, foaled in Indiana and whose dam was registered with the commission.

  (b) The mare must:

(1) have entered Indiana by November 1 in the year prior to foaling; or

(2) have been purchased at an advertised public sale prior to December 31 in the year prior to foaling. Said mare must be in the state of Indiana within fourteen (14) days of purchase; and

(3) remain in Indiana continuously until foaling.

The resulting foal will then be eligible to be registered as an Indiana bred.

  (c) Mares registered for current breeding year may leave the state to be entered in an advertised public sale and may leave the state for the interval of the sale, but must return to Indiana within fourteen (14) days of her sale if the residency requirements for foal registration are to be fulfilled.

  (d) Appeal of the fourteen (14) day return requirement must be forwarded to the commission for the review and recommendation of the breed development advisory committee. Notification to the commission must be made in writing for mares leaving the state prior to participating in an advertised public sale. Upon return to the state, the mare must be reregistered with the appropriate forms available from the commission.

  (e) In the event a mare entered Indiana and was registered with the commission after November 1 in the year prior to foaling, the foal (which must be foaled in Indiana) may be eligible to be registered as an Indiana bred if the mare:

(1) is registered within ten (10) days of foaling; and

(2) is bred back to a registered Indiana stallion in the year of foaling. Mares registered under Sec.1 (b)(2) [subsection (b)(2)] are not required to breed back to a registered Indiana stallion.

(3) If the mare fails to conceive when bred or is unfit to breed due to health reasons, a veterinarian certificate is required from a licensed veterinarian.

(1) remain open for that breeding season in order for the mare's current foal to be eligible to be registered as an Indiana bred; and

(2) remain in Indiana for a period of thirty (30) days from the foaling date and the mare and foal must be inspected by a commission representative prior to leaving the state.

  (g) The commission must be notified in writing and provide proper documentation for any mare and/or foal leaving the state for medical treatment.
