New for distance riders: earn Registers
of Merit!
For a one-time-fee of $25 per horse, enroll your ApHC-registered
Appaloosa in the ApHC Distance Program. This fee will allow the
owner to participate in ApHC-approved endurance and competitive
rides for the life of that horse. By enrolling and submitting
ride report forms, you can qualify to earn medallions, registers
of merit, plaques, a high-mileage jacket, year-end awards and
recognition in Appaloosa Journal.
Starting in January 2006, distance riders became eligible to earn
a register of merit for completing 250 miles of approved open
endurance, open limited distance and open competitive trail rides,
separate or combined, consisting of 25-mile rides or longer, over
the lifetime of the horse. Only miles completed from 2006 and
forward will be used for the calculation of the award.

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 (208) 882-5578 ext. 300 or registration@appaloosa.com.
