Announcement for All Shagya-Arabian Owners

Several years ago ISG requested that NASS offer to register pure and part bred Shagya-Arabians, which had been originally registered in ASAV, in order to facilitate horses of these bloodlines to be included in an ISG-member registry.  NASS agreed to do so, extending an offer to ASAV registrants to move their horses over into the NASS Registry at greatly reduced fees.  NASS has continued this offer in the ensuing years and is now pleased to extend this offer, as well, to owners of horses in the PShR.  Therefore, any owner of a horse or horses registered in either ASAV or PShR is cordially invited to become a member of NASS and to register their horse for the discounted fee as shown in the following NASS Fee Schedule.
