Pedigrees

  If you own an Appaloosa or know someone who does, then we're sure you're proud of it! Show your pride with an authentic Appaloosa Horse Club Pedigree. These beautiful testimonies to your horse are printed on buff color parchment paper depicting several Appaloosa disciplines and are suitable for framing. Please visit, www.appaloosa.com/registration/orderpedigree.shtm, or contact a friendly customer service representative at (208) 882-5578 for options and pricing.

MARE DNA KIT SALE
  The DNA kit sale of $25 per kit was created in an effort to assist mare owners with the requirement of DNA testing. However, due to the loss of revenue the ApHC has experienced with the DNA kit sale, the price of DNA kits for mares is increasing to $35 effective September 1, 2004. This sale will run through 2005 and then the kits will return to $50 each.
Order your DNA kit today by contacting a customer service representative at (208) 882-5578. Please have the mare’s registered name and number available.
