February 2025

Dr. George Vilar, ABCCMM inspector and judge will be coming to the US in early February, 2025. 

Currently, his only planned stops are Phoenix, AZ and Corpus Christi, TX. If you have Mangalarga Marchadors that need inspection and would like to join this inspection visit, please contact Lynn Kelley, 602-999-3915. 

Sharing a planned inspection visit will lower the costs overall by splitting the airfare among many breeders. There is another planned inspection visit in August 2025.

INSPECTION DETAILS AND PLANNING

The cost of the inspection is $600US per breeder, per location for the inspector. That is often paid in cash or check directly to George. 

In addition, you must pay for ABCCMM membership and/or registration fees, plus the cost of airfare to get the inspector to your farm. Housing, meals and transportation for the inspector should also be included in your planning. Most people just have the inspector stay with them.

We estimate a definitive registration (riding) inspection could take an hour to 1.5 hours per horse.  Following the riding inspection, the horse measurements are taken and the horse will be branded with the ABCCMM trademarked Horseshoe M brand. 

Plan on 15- 25 minutes per provisional (foal) inspection. During the foal inspection, the horse will be microchipped.
