AGE ACCEPTANCES

Age acceptance fees ($451) will be proactively invoiced by HRV (early August 2025) for those horses that are eligible. 

Payment will be due by October 1. If payment is not made by October 1, horses will be automatically withdrawn.

Those who have previously paid a series fee are already eligible and do not need to pay an age acceptance fee.
