Register a Horse 

There are two types of Lifetime Registration available for horses.

Full Horse ($185.00) – For competitive horses permitting participation in equestrian competitive activities.

Base Horse ($22.00) – For horses Jumping below 1.05m at official Show Jumping competitions & for owners who would like horse registrations for the purpose of bio security or for securing a name. 

Only current financial members are able to register horses and all horses must have a microchip number.

If you want to compete in "official" competitions your horse will need Full Registration and a Competition Licence for that discipline. You must purchase multiple Licences if you compete in multiple disciplines. Competition Licences are renewed annually with your membership.

Horses must have Full Registration to hold competition licences. If your horse is Base Registered and you need to upgrade to Full Registration, the original Base Registration certificate must be returned to the ESA office and the fee difference* for Full registration paid. Once completed, a new certificate will be issued for the horse. *The difference amount will vary depending on what Base Registration fee was paid.

Registering a horse with Equestrian SA enables the owner to accquire a valid competition licence, allowing that horse to participate in above the line activities. The certificate of registration is a means of identifying the horse and establishing ownership of the horse for competition purposes only. Before you submit a registration application for your horse, please ensure that the following information is complete. Incomplete or incorrect work will be returned.

Registration for Interschool - Base Registration is acceptable for Interschool competitions including State Championships, UNLESS you are intending to compete at Nationals, then you will need Full Horse Registration.

• All owners must be current Competitor, Participant, Supporter or Commercial members of Equestrian South Australia.
• The horse must be Microchipped to Australian Standard.
• You must include a contact telephone number on the form so we can contact you if we have any queries.
