21—62.26 (99D) Iowa-foaled horse status. Iowa-foaled horse status can be achieved the following two ways:
	      1. 	  All standardbred horses foaled in Iowa which are registered by the U.S. Trotting Association as Iowa foaled shall be considered to be Iowa foaled.
	      2. 	  A foal from a mare meeting the eligibility requirements will be eligible to become an Iowa-foaled horse.
	   62.26(1) Both Iowa-foaled categories will require that an application to be an Iowa-foaled standardbred horse be filed with the department. The application must be filed on a Form I-6 provided by the department.
	   62.26(2) The form shall be completed by the owner(s) of the standardbred foal or horse or by the owner’s authorized representative. This registration will cover the standardbred foal or horse its entire productive life.
	   62.26(3) The owner(s) shall complete an application for an Iowa-foaled Registration, showing the name of the brood mare, the name of the sire, date of foaling, color, as well as the sex and markings of the foal or horse.
	   62.26(4) To complete the official registration of an Iowa-foaled horse, the owner(s) must forward the U.S. Trotting Association Certificate to the department. If the horse has met all requirements for registration, the department shall place the name and number of the horse on the official department list of Iowa-foaled standardbreds, which list shall constitute the official certification of the horse, and return the certificate within ten working days from the date of receipt. If the U.S. Trotting Association Certificate is lost or destroyed, a duplicate U.S. Trotting Association Certificate for that horse must be forwarded to the department and must be recertified by the department.
	 62.26(5) and 62.26(6) Rescinded IAB 11/14/90, effective 12/19/90.
	   62.26(7) An investigator, appointed by the secretary, shall have access to the premises on which qualified mares, Iowa registered stallions and Iowa-bred foals or horses are kept.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 99D.22.
