Why would I need to register a stable?
Since a horse may have no more than 4 owners, registering a horse in a stable name allows any number of people to share ownership on a horse by joining a stable partnership.
How many members can my stable have?
There is no limit to the number of members that may be listed under a racing, farm or stable name.
Can I have a stable and a corporation with the same name? (Pari-mutuel)
No. The USTA will not accept a name for a stable or a corporation if there is already a stable or corporation with the name. The USTA recommends submitting a few name choices on the application in case the first name choice is already taken.
Is there an annual membership fee for my stable?
No. Unlike a corporate membership, registered racing, farm and stable names remain active as long as all of the individual members listed under it maintain current USTA membership.
Who can sign documents for the stable?
Only the corresponding officer may sign on behalf of the stable. His/her signature is considered binding for all members on any documents related to the stable or its horses.
How do I add/remove a member from my stable?
To add a member to a stable, we require a statement signed by the corresponding officer indicating the stable's desire to add a specific member. We will also require a signed statement from the person being added indicating that they accept the corresponding officer's signature as binding on all documents pertaining to the stable.
To remove a member, we require a signed statement from the person to be removed indicating his/her desire to be removed from the stable.
To register a corporation, please complete the registration

No. The USTA requires that a corporation list all the officers, directors, and stockholders owning more than 5% of the corporation on the application.
How do I add/remove a member from my corporation?

What is the difference between a stable and a corporation?
If you have an incorporated racing name, it must be registered as a corporation with the USTA. If your stable is not incorporated, you may register it as a racing, farm or stable name.
