MOSCOW, IDAHO — The Appaloosa Horse Club would like to announce the Board of Directors approval to bring back Appaloosa horses registered with the Appaloosa Horse Club of Canada (ApHCC) once again as an approved outcross.

The ApHC will now be able to consider for registration an Appaloosa horse with an ApHCC-registered Appaloosa parent provided the other parent is registered with the ApHC with Regular (#) classification and the applicant can meet all other registration requirements, including filing sire, dam and foal DNA, filing late Stallion Breeding Reports, recorded owner(s) signatures, etc. Refer to the ApHC Bloodline rules for breeding requirements for registration with the ApHC.

This approval goes into effect now under Rule 70 from the ApHC Official Handbook, and will be added to the ApHC 2021 Official Handbook as, Rule 204.A.2.d “Appaloosa horses registered with Appaloosa Horse Club of Canada (ApHCC), Canada.” Other ApHC-approved breed associations for outcross include American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), Arabian Horse Association (AHA), and The Jockey Club (Thoroughbred).

The Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) was established in 1938 with a mission of preserving, promoting and enhancing the Appaloosa breed. The ApHC has since registered more than 700,000 Appaloosas, which are known for their distinctive color, intelligence and even temperament. True to their reputation as an extremely versatile breed, Appaloosas can be found in nearly every discipline including racing, endurance riding and serving as reliable family horses. The international breed registry is headquartered in Moscow, Idaho, the heart of the Palouse region—the Appaloosa breed’s namesake and point of origin.
