17.4 No prefix may be used until written notification of approval

17.5 A prefix may only be used when the person registering or
recording a horse is also the breeder of that horse, except if
the breeder gives written authority to the Association to
allow the person registering or recording a horse to use
his/her own prefix.
17.6 A prefix will not be accepted if it:
a) Is the name of an already registered horse;
b) Is the name of a prefix already registered with the
Association;
c) Has been used previously at the beginning of the name

d) It sounds like any other already registered prefix.
17.7 Plurals of existing prefixes cannot be registered as a
prefix.
17.8 Any prefix that has been applied for and approved; and
has never been used can be relinquished in writing and that
member can apply for another prefix.
