(c) In the event a mare entered Indiana or is registered with the commission after November 1, 2008, by July 1, 2009, and each year thereafter, the foal (which must be foaled in Indiana) may be eligible to be registered as an Indiana bred. To be eligible, the mare must be:

(1) bred back to a registered Indiana stallion in the year of foaling for the foal to qualify as an Indiana bred; and

(2) the stallion must be registered with the commission in the year the foal was conceived.

(d) If the mare fails to conceive when bred or is unfit to breed due to health reasons, a veterinarian certificate is required from a licensed veterinarian.

(e) If the mare does not conceive, she must:

(1) remain open for that breeding season in order for the mare's current foal to be eligible to be registered as an Indiana bred; and

(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.

(f) The mare may leave the state to participate in:

(1) stakes;

(2) medical care; or

(3) an advertised public sale.

A mare leaving the state for an advertised public sale may be gone for the interval of the sale, but must return to Indiana within fifteen (15) days of her sale. Written documentation of the sale is required. The director of breed development must be notified in writing within fifteen (15) days of the departure and return of the advertised public sale.

(g) The director of breed development may approve requests for a mare to leave the state for any reason not provided in subsection (f). A request made to the director of breed development must be made in writing and include the following:

(1) The requested departure date of the mare.

(2) The reason or reasons that the mare must leave the state.

(3) The anticipated date of return of the mare to the state.

All written requests shall be made at least fifteen (15) days prior to the requested departure date. Approval is granted at the discretion of the director of breed development, or another commission designee. Conditional approval of a request may be granted subject to any conditions deemed appropriate. The party requesting to leave the state may be required to provide additional information regarding the reason or reasons for the donor mare to leave the state prior to approval of any request. A response will be issued no later than five (5) days prior to the requested departure date. A request is deemed denied if no formal approval is provided prior to the requested departure date.
