Not registered with APHA? It’s not too late! Check out these APHA Registration FAQs and contact us today to get the ball rolling:
- My horse is already AQHA-registered. Can it also be APHA-registered?
AQHA horses that meet APHA registration rules can be double-registered with APHA and AQHA. Being double-registered may increase your horse’s value while opening opportunities to compete at more events. - My horse’s sire and dam are Quarter Horses so how can my horse be a Paint?
Even if both parents are AQHA-registered, if your horse meets requirements for white markings, he/she can be registered with APHA. - I have a broodmare/stallion that is registered with APHA based on white markings; what if the foals don’t have white markings?
All foals by/out of APHA-registered stock (with the other parent being APHA, AQHA or Thoroughbred) can be registered with APHA regardless of white markings. - My horse is APHA-registered but not AQHA-registered. Does my horse have to be double-registered to earn Chrome Cash?
No, your horse does not have to be double-registered; it just has to be APHA-registered.
