Applying for a Logbook

Please download and read the application guide before filling out the form.  If you are applying for a novice (blue) logbook, you may complete the horse ID section yourself.  If you are upgrading to an open (yellow) logbook, your vet must complete the ID section.  If you have any questions, please contact our Registrar.

Upgrading Your Horse from Novice to Open

Once your horse has sucessfully completed 3 open rides, it is eligible to be upgraded to open status and will be issued with a yellow logbook. Open horses must also pay registration (Annual or Lifetime) in order to be eligible to compete in open rides. You can not upgrade your horse until a minimum of 90 days has elapsed from the date of the horses first successfully completed endurance ride.  Please refer to Rule 46.5 in our National Rulebook.  Your horse will also need to be microchipped.

• Novice (blue) logbook
• Novice and Endurance Horse Application form (button below) with completed Vet ID. If the Vet ID is already inserted in the logbook, only send completed page 1 of the form.
• Completed Annual/Lifetime Horse Registration Form (button below)
• Payment of $20 for the upgrade, plus either $35 for annual registration or $75 for lifetime registration.  
• Return express postage is included in the above fee.

Replacement Logbook

If a logbook has been lost, destroyed, or wilfully withheld by a horse's previous owner, you can apply for a replacement.  You will need to fill out a logbook application form, complete a statutory declaration, and pay the appropriate fee.
