Yes I would be in favor of this. According to geneticists (Gus Cothran, Donald Jones) because of the excessive outcrossing to Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds, the Appaloosa scientifically would be considered only as a color breed. The Foundation Appaloosa would be considered a blood breed. I think a half breed registry would be great! And much needed.

Yes I have been an ApHC member since the 1960's.

I think it is a great idea, given that the horse being registered has all color characteristics. I personally own one such as this,(mottle skin, white sclera, and stripped hooves)she has all of them, but can't register her due to former owner not knowing her parentage.

My horse is not registered but, my two year old daughter is about to be a member when I mail the paperwork in.

YES! I have a foundation curly horse that has Appaloosa characteristics WAY back in his bloodlines, so it definetly would.

We need to include all colored appaloosas under the umbrella of the ApHC or subcommittee of the ApHC. Yes, I am a proud ApHC member who believes we ALL have a place within the ApHC!!

Yes, because there are so many crossouts that are not approved by the ApHC. Is it fair to approve certain breeds because that is what the board wants to be the identity of the appaloosa?? If QH, Thoroughbred, and Arab have that privilege, why should all crossouts.

yes, since 1981, and I really perfer a 1/2 breed registry with one app parent, and closing the books for the full app registry much like the arabians.

I have an obviouse appy mare with all appy characterizes. This mare wins in all appy halter classes at 4-H county fairs, and state fairs. She also wins in the appy halter class at open shows. I cannot track down her parents and refuse to spay her as she is an outstanding animal. This is a wonderful opportunity for her. I have been asked why I don’t show her in the ApHA breed shows and when they find out she is unregistered people are amazed.

I am in favor of the new part bred Appaloosa registry. I believe this will be a great benefit to international members and those here in the states breeding gaited appaloosa colored horses and sport horses. I believe the money generated will support the entire ApHC.

I think it is a great idea, given that the horse being registered has all color characteristics. I personally own one such as this,(mottle skin, white sclera, and stripped hooves) but can't register her as she was a rescue and I have no idea about parentage.

I am no a current member, but would join if I could register my horse or in the future buy a registeres app.

People seeing horses marked with appaloosa coloring are going to automatically assume they are registered appaloosas anyway so they may as well be recoginized by an auxillary association. I have followed the breeding rules and ended up with registered appaloosas who don't have a spot one, yet are registered with ApHC.

I think it's a good idea. I have problems here in Mt & elsewhere getting mare owners to register good, registerable foals. I would like to see these foals & the nice colored foals by my stallions registered.

Well, it will make more money for "somebody". And why not? I have a couple of Un-registered Appaloosa mares, taht are very obviously Appaloosa, but they can not be registered with ApHC. However, I can go to any show, or look at any Appaloosa magazine, or go to many breeders, and find ApHC registered "Appaloosa's" that have hardly ANY Appaloosa blood in them, and many do not even LOOK like Appaloosa's. Yet, they are accepted and ENCOURAGED by the ApHC.

Yes, I am a lifetime ApHC member. But I do NOT AGREE with much of what they do. There should be NO DRUGS allowed in show horses!! There should be NO OUT-CROSSING allowed in breeding. It should only be Appaloosa to Appaloosa, or not registered. (Or, put in the "new registry" that you are trying to get started.)

If my memory is correct, when I was a kid, the ApHC had what was called a "hardship clause" where horses with obvious Ap characteristics could be registered with unknown parentage. This registry sounds like reinstatement of that clause.

Not yet.

I think this would drive the ApHC crazy! It is an interesting idea, adding color to different breeds!! Certainly would increase the number of Apps, or what ever you would call them, in the world!!

Yes it will, there are so many horses have seen that have lost ppw or never got reg due to high cost to do so.

yes, but not current.

# 79:

I believe it will because I have been contacted over the years about registering crossbreds that the owners wanted to register. Also have bred mares who were good mares but weren't registered in approved assoc.

Possibly? I do know there are many Appy type unregistered horses around. This may offer them an avenue to represent and promote the breed. Dispite ApHC's lack of intrest in these equines.

I believe this will encourage more people to use the ApHC to register their sporthorses as well as bring in new members and breeders. As well as sending a strong signal to the horse world that the ApHC is starting to come together and recognize that ALL appaloosas are appaloosas not matter what the cross is. I see no reason that a Appaloosa crossed on a Quarter horse, Arabian or Thoroughbred is any better than an Appaloosa crossed with a Warmblood or whatever. As long as their pedigrees are known they should be recognized as an Appaloosa.

Yes, I am an ApHC member and stallion owner.

Yes, it will increase membership and also allow many horses to show nationally. It will also increase sale-ability of each horse.

No, I did not renew when they failed to accept WB crosses.

I have one mare that is currently considered unregisterable by the ApHC because two generations ago one of her grand parent's was unregistered. She currently carries 75% or greater ApHC registered bloodlines, is an obvious loud colored leopard appaloosa pattern and yet you all won't register her because of a solid mare two generations ago that wasn't traced. She's been registered with ICAA and CRHA but not ApHC yet her sire was ApHC registered and her Dam's sire was ApHC registered just her dam and grand dam were not ApHC registered or registerable because of the unknown behind the grand dam.

Yes I am and have three other registered ApHC horses and a foal on the way.

Absolutley! And most importantly save many of the purer type Appaloosas that aren't just colored at best but have all the characteristics of a true appaloosa. Good luck and Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

I have a beautifully coloured nr leopard appaloosa X anglo arab mare who is unregistable with the ApHC as she is from unregistered stock from the UK. She is registered with BApS in the UK though, the ApHC over here said although she is obviously an Appaloosa they would not register her but would give her a competition license nor would they register any of her off spring. If I am correct the foundation stock todays appaloosa came from were unregistered!!!!!!

no, I would be a member if they would register my girl!!!

There are so many great appaloosa type horses without papers. The disposition, color, and versatility of the breed is shared by many non-registered horses.

Allowing these horses into the registry will on increase the number of registere, whatever type, in the ApHC. More horses, more memnbers, more income.

The Appaloosa horse needs a cohesive effort to recognize and promote it, not all these splinter groups, which only see one part of this fabulous colored horse.
