Foundation
Pedigree Designation
The FPD classification on your horse’s
certificate of registration provides proof of Appaloosa bloodlines
and important clues to breeding potential. By taking notice of
valuable foundation bloodlines, breeders are able to select desired
qualities such as conformation, soundness, athletic ability and
Appaloosa characteristics.
Visit the ApHC web site at
www.appaloosa.com/downloadableforms.shtm for enrollment forms,
or apply when registering or transferring horses. If you have
questions or would like a free printout of horses you own that
may be eligible, contact the registration department at ext. 300
or registration@appaloosa.com. |

| Your
stallion needs you
In order for your stallion’s
foals to receive a certificate of registration, you must file
a yearly stallion breeding report. Reports will not be filed by
the ApHC until the stallion has DNA on file. Make sure it’s
postmarked by November 30, 2006, to avoid the rush (and the late
fee).
