Attention Lifetime Members
One of the benefits of being an Appaloosa Horse Club Lifetime
Member is receiving complimentary 10-day RUSHES on registration
work. Because of the ever-increasing number of Appaloosa Horse
Club Lifetime Members, it has become necessary for the ApHC to
require Lifetime Members to attach an official ApHC-issued RUSH
sticker to the outside of the envelope and on the registration
work itself. Registration work without RUSH sticker notification
will be processed within normal processing time of six to eight
weeks.
If you have recently submitted work to the office expecting it
to be RUSHED, but did not attach a RUSH sticker to it, please
contact us so we can make sure your work is not delayed. Official
ApHC Lifetime Member RUSH stickers are available through the ApHC
Registration Department at 208-882-5578 ext. 300. |
|
Registration Fee
Schedule
Allow six to eight weeks for your certificate of registration.
The ApHC offers rush orders, so contact the registration department
if you need your certificate in less time.
Registration fees are:
Foal date to 6th month foal
date: $30 members and $95 non-members
7th–12th month foal date: $50 members and $115 non-members
13th–24th month foal date: $100 members and $215 non-members
25th–36th month foal date: $200 members and $415 non-members
37th month and thereafter: $250 members and $515 non-members |

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. |
