I'm not sure what you mean either? If you're talking about long gestations, then I've never had a registry question it at all. Most anymore require a hair sample to test for parentage anyway; and I don't think that the registry even ever calculates gestation anyhow (way too much work).
C Carner- QH does not require DNA unless the horse in question is used for breeding purposes so I understand your question. I would assume that they could request a sample to verify parentage should there be a discrepancy in the breeding/foaling dates. We've never had one bornt that late though. Ev
C Carner, I think I know what you mean as well and your question may be related to my 433 day filly born yesterday. I went to enter my filly’s birthday today on APHA’s website and, not surprisingly, I received a message saying the foaling date is outside the gestation period permitted and I need to contact APHA. I sent an email to APHA with all of the relevant data and I expect the answer will be DNA tests are required. That’s fine with me, I was planning to do them anyway just because it is so unusual for a mare to carry that long even though I know what the test results will say, especially after seeing the baby. She has her daddy’s head and looks a little overcooked. As I go through this I will post the process and the resolution if anyone is interested.
My 375 day colt last year sailed through APHA online registration with no questions asked.
