• If the DNA for the Sire and Dam is on file with the International Morab Registry, you may chose to not have a DNA test done on the Morab Gelding or Spayed Mare. Then the $40.00 DNA fee would not be charged for your registration. To take advantage of this price break you must complete a DNA Gelding/Spayed Mare Waiver Form and submit it to the IMR.
