RE: [RC] [RC] Gaited horse statistics - Jessica Cameron

I ride a pure-bred arabian who's parents are both registered with AHA, but by the time I got him, at 4 years old, I was not going to fork over the $500 to get him registered and do the DNA and blood type tests on him just so I could have the privilege to say he's registered with the AHA. I have both of his parents papers and know what lineage he comes from, but I really didn't care what lines he came from, I just knew what I was looking for and he was it.

IMO it really doesn't matter if your horse is registered or not, it all depends on what you want to do with your horse. I don't show and don't have any desire to show, so would not register my horse and I would much rather have the AERC keeping track of my miles rather than the AHA, since AERC is not a "breed registry."

If one parent is an Arabian and one is not, the result is a half-arab, and
can and should be listed as such in AERC IMO.

Whether or not it is registered with the AHA is an entirely separate point.
AERC chooses to let people self-identify what their horse's breed is.
