Angie,

Members place their horses in the mileage program using Arab or half 
Arab w/o a registration number just as those with unregistered any other 
breeds do.

I'd guess it might happen less often with an Arab but it still happens. 
  AERC doesn't require a registration number for any breed when you 
select  the category.

I always thought it was interesting to see how many of each breed competes.
However, one thing is misleading in the numbers. So far as I know, I can 
list my
horse as a "Paint" without any papers to prove it, but if I have a 
purebred, but
unregistered Arab it goes down as "grade". When I gave out breed awards 
at my
ride, if I had a "1st grade horse" award, I didn't want to give it to a 
purebred
Arab that nobody bothered to register.
> Mike, am I wrong on this? If I've got it right, it just seems to confuse the 
stats. If an unregistered Arab can't be listed as an Arab, can there be 
a listing
for "grade/Arab" or "unpapered Arab"? There's an awful lot of them doing 
endurance.
