Welcome to the International Drum Horse Association new and improved memberships, registration and forms

If you are new to the IDHA and would like a discount on your registration and all future transactions/benefits do this.

  • First, please fill in your membership application and receive a membership number.
  • Then Register your horse on our easy to use online registration members only portal.

Once you have completed and submitted your registration you will receive a confirmation e-mail to say we have got it. Your application will go directly to our registrar who checks all the information is correct, that all attachments are included.

If you need to submit a hair sample, you will receive a prefill form with your horse’s information.  Directions will be included. Please mail the DNA sample directly to the University of Kentucky, the address is included.

When the DNA is a certified match, we will complete the records and send you a Breed certificate with the IDHA seal of authenticity.

We do our best to make the turnaround as swift as possible. Should you have any questions, please send an e-mail to registrar@drumhorseassociation.com and we’ll follow up. This has been a big undertaking and we’re aware there may be teething issues to begin with (there are still printable versions available should you require them.)

Electronic payments are preferred through PayPal. International Payments can be made via PayPal, or international cheque.

**ALL DNA certificates must be on file with the Univ. of KY, from another registry or an approved tester.

* PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE COST OF PDF REGISTRATION SUBMISSIONS HAS GONE UP. ONLINE SUBMISSION PRICES WILL REMAIN THE SAME*

LEASE AGREEMENT FORM – this form is recommended for any horse being used for a breeding and/ or show lease.
There is no fee, but forms must be submitted to the current IDHA Registrar at the start of the lease to be considered valid.
