At the NFHR Board Face to Face meeting in January 2022, the Board agreed to the following:

Microchipping as a requirement for registration was proposed as a change to the Rules of Registration, with an effective date of 1/1/2024.

This change will be proposed in 2023 as it was erroneously omitted from the 2022 proposed changes.

A new policy effective 1/1/2022: a $10 discount on registration fees per horse until 12/31/2023, if microchipping is completed before parentage verification is completed. If you have already registered a horse in 2022, please contact me if you would like to take advantage of the registration fee discount. I'll need proof of microchipping.

If you have any questions, please contact me, jeanne@nfhr.com or 303.684.6466

NFHR Members:

To provide clarity on the priorities for the NFHR Board of Directors (BOD), the BOD has made the decision to place any changes to the Rules of Registration and Transfer on-hold for 2022. The membership has made it very clear they want a voice when it comes time for voting on rule changes. The priority for the BOD is to conduct a thorough review of the by-laws to ensure the membership will have a voice when future changes are proposed and voted on. The current membership comment period will remain as-is. After June 30, the board will review the member's comments that have been submitted to the NFHR Office.

In addition, there have been questions about the Zoom meeting recordings. For clarification, the recording of the BOD meetings are for use by the Secretary to generate minutes. Zoom BOD meeting links will not be shared with the membership.

We encourage members to listen in via Zoom to the live meetings and ask questions at the end of the meeting. The dates and times for the meetings are posted here:

Dear NFHR members and fellow Fjord enthusiasts,

We published the 2020 Spring Herald in a different format. The Herald Committee and the Board of Directors had strategic discussions about the current situation (pandemic) and how to be viable for the future. After much deliberation and determining what is best for the Registry and our members, we decided to produce the 2020 Spring Herald in an online format. This is a one-time only change and we believe this will allow us to be financially responsible to support future Heralds.

Please enjoy the 2020 Spring issue! You will notice we can offer features, such as live hyperlinks, which we are not able to offer it in a printed version. A special thank you also goes out to all the ad supporters. You made this issue extra special with your support. We returned to the standard print format for the 2020 Summer issue and on.

NFHR Board of Directors and
NFHR Herald Committee
