Horse eligibility

To be acceptable under this program, and to be labeled "Virginia bred," the horse must have been foaled in Virginia. The location of stallion and mare at time of conception does not alter this requirement. SEO's, at their discretion, may require residency of the mare or stallion in Virginia, or any additional criteria subject to approval by the department. Statutory Authority: § 3.2-106 of the Code of Virginia. Historical Notes: Derived from VR115-01-03 § 6, eff. February 17, 1988.
