Decide which state to notify a foal with

Before registering you must decide which state to notify your foal with:

  • It is usually best to notify your foal with the state where the foal is born. This will mean that microchipping arrangements will be made sooner.  

  • You can also register your foal in another state, at the same time, for futurity purposes.

  • If your foal is born in Tasmania notification is subsidised by Tasracing if lodged with ORI within 3 months of foaling - this means no charge for the Owner/Breeder.

Digital process overview​

  1. Owner/Breeder or agent initiates the process by entering the Foal Notification details into the Harnessweb portal​.

  2. The state governing body approves the Foal Notification and finalised the transaction.

  3. The state governing body Microchippers will be in touch to schedule a time to visit to microchip the foal and take a hair sample for DNA testing.

More details about the digital process are available in the video tutorial created by RISE Racing​​​:
