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.

Upon return to the state the mare must be reregistered with the appropriate forms available from the commission.

required from a licensed veterinarian.

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