Appaloosa Breeder Guide 2014 - Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) UK

Appaloosa Breeder
Guide 2014
The Appaloosa has a bold and colourful ancestry, which can be traced back to earliest
recorded time. Spotted horses were depicted in cave paintings of prehistoric man, and
many colourfully marked horses appear in art throughout the centuries, but it is in the
American ‘melting pot’ that the spotted horse established itself as a true breed.
During 1680 the Pueblos Indians defeated the Spanish settlers and drove them from
northern New Mexico. They kept the sheep and cattle and traded the horses to the
plains tribes and it is through this movement that the horses made their way east and
north and were acquired by the Nez Perce tribe by the early 1700s. In the west the
Shoshones from southern Idaho were the most important distributor of horses because
of the fine range in their territory and they traded horses on to other tribes including
the Nez Perce Indians. The area occupied by the Nez Perce Indians was even better
suited to raising horses and was also protected from enemy raids.
The Nez Perce Indians of the Northwest deserve much of the credit for the Appaloosa
horses we have today. They were the only Native Americans to selectively breed their
horses, and used the best animals to breed from by gelding the inferior stallions and
trading off the poorer stock to build up their herds of quality horses. The favoured
areas were the fertile sheltered valleys of the Clearwater, Snake and Palouse River in
Washington and Idaho, which gave birth to the name Appaloosa. The good yearround keep provided by the habitat encouraged size and growth and contributed to
the development of the breed. Early white settlers referred to the Nez Perce horses as
‘a Palouse horse. In time the ‘a’ and Palouse became joined together to form the name
Apalousey and then later Appaloosa. Not all the Nez Perce Indians bred horses. Some
of the tribe members followed a more conservative life of farming having been taught
by the early missionaries how to grow crops and raise livestock. They preferred to
stay near their villages safe from attack unlike the more independent members of the
tribe who continued to breed their fast sure footed Appaloosas to hunt in the buffalo
country.
Quickly they established a superior breed which grew in numbers to thousands of
horses in an economy where horses represented wealth and as a result the Nez Perce
became known as an affluent tribe. The Appaloosa’s characteristics went beyond their
multi-coloured coat patterns, as the Nez Perce bred only the strongest, fastest and most
versatile stock.
The US government entered into a treaty with the Nez Perce in 1855 which gave the
tribe 7 million acres of land most of which they already considered their territory.
In 1860 gold was discovered on the reservation resulting in an influx of settlers
establishing a town of some two thousand people in breach of the treaty. Conflict with
the tribe escalated as their lands were reduced and eventually a battle at White Bird
Canyon on 17 June 1877 marked the beginning of the war.
During the Nez Perce War in 1877, Chief Joseph and his tribe including women,
children and approximately 3000 horses eluded the US Cavalry for months during
their historic flight to Canada, when they covered over 1,300 miles of treacherous
terrain. They were finally beaten by the cruel snow and freezing conditions,
having mistakenly halted just 42 miles short of the Canadian border and safety. They
surrendered on 7 October 1877 under conditions which allowed them to keep their horses
and go home in the spring. However this was not to be and the Nez Perce were sent to
North Dakota and approximately 1000 surviving horses were taken from them. The Nez
Perce were placed on a reservation comprised of barren land, and their beautiful horses
were almost driven to extinction.
Such was the fear felt by the US Government; they prohibited the Nez Perce tribe from
owning Appaloosa horses. This law was not repealed until 1991, when the tribe were
allowed once more to own and breed Appaloosas. On the Lapwai reservation in Idaho
today, the tribe now has a small herd of Appaloosa horses at long last.
The Appaloosa horse would have been lost forever, but for the foresight of Claude
Thompson, of Oregon, who started the Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) in 1938 with only
a handful of stock. Now with over 600,000 registered horses, the Appaloosa is flourishing
and registrations exceed 10,000 each year in the USA.
Today, the same characteristics of hardiness and tractability of temperament make
the breed more highly sought-after than ever before, with a fast expanding market
throughout Europe. Highly adaptable, the Appaloosa excels not only in western riding,
but also in many equestrian disciplines. The Appaloosa registered horse will put his
heart and soul into the task at hand and is truly the ‘Breed of Choice’.
REGISTRATIONS
The Appaloosa Horse Club UK has two separate main breed registers: the A
(American) register, for horses registered with the ApHC of America, and the
B (British) register, for Appaloosas of proven Appaloosa pedigree (or approved
out-crossing) but which are not registered with the ApHC of America. The
P register is our Part-bred register for those horses who have one parent
registered with either the ApHC UK or the ApHC of America, and the other
parent may be of any other origin.
If you choose to register your appaloosa horse with us and the horse does
not already hold a passport you will receive an EU compliant passport and you will be preserving
the history and pedigree of your appaloosa in the appropriate section of our breed registry. If the
horse already has a passport we will overstamp that passport to confirm entry into the relevant breed
register.
?
Non Appaloosa Registry
In addition to our breed registers and to assist members and non-members alike who need new
passports for their non-Appaloosa horses and ponies, the ApHC UK hold a non-appaloosa register
and offer this service in line with other breed associations also offering similar Passports. Holding
one of these passports DOES NOT confer entry into our Breed Registers, but will give the applicant
a legal passport at a reasonable cost. We will issue them at £18.50 to members and £33.50 to nonmembers. The description silhouette must be completed by a qualified vet; unless the horse is micro
chipped in which case the owner may complete the silhouette.
Three Sections to our Appaloosa Breed Register
Section A – American
Only those Appaloosas holding a valid ApHC USA registration certificate will be eligible for
registration in the ApHC UK ‘A’ register. A copy of the USA certificate must be sent to the registrar
with the passport application and appropriate fees. To be registered with the ApHC USA one
parent must be an ApHC USA main registered horse classifications as defined by ApHC rules (or
must be registered on the main register of an approved breed registry; the American Quarter Horse
Association, The Jockey Club or Weatherbys Thoroughbred register or the Arab Horse Society; or
the other parent registered with one of the following ApHC approved national & multinational
Appaloosa Registries and possessing an ApHC International Registration Incentive Programme
Certificate: ApHC Brazil, Australian Appaloosa Assoc Ltd, ApHC New Zealand or Appaloosa Horse
Breeders Society of South Africa.
Section B – British
British registered horses will be entered into section B of the register. Horses eligible for ApHC
USA registration will be entered into section B (provided they meet the eligibility criteria for the
B register). Upon receipt of a copy of the ApHC USA certificate they will automatically be moved
into section A of the register. To be eligible for the B register one parent must be registered with the
ApHC UK and the other parent must either be registered with the ApHC UK or must be registered on
the main register of an approved breed registry; the American Quarter Horse Association, the Jockey
Club or Weatherbys’ Thoroughbred register or the Arab Horse Society. For the purposes of the B
register the ApHC USA is the mother breed and therefore an approved breed registry, however for
any horse sired by an Appaloosa stallion to be eligible for registration on the B register they must be
sired by a licensed ApHC UK Appaloosa stallion if the stallion is resident in the UK.
Section P – Part-bred
For your horse to be eligible for the P register one parent must be a registered Appaloosa (A or B
register or registered with the ApHC USA) and the other parent may be of any other origin.
Any appaloosa registered with the British Appaloosa Society (BAPS) before 1st February 2000 will
be accepted into the B Register of the ApHC UK and the BAPS passport will be overstamped by the
ApHC UK. If the horse is also registered with the ApHC of America it will be accepted into the A
Register on receipt of its American registration certificate.
Registration Application
If this is a new application for a horse that is eligible but has not yet been registered please complete
a Registration Application form. For registration of colts and stallions an additional Veterinary
Inspection Certificate & Description for Stallion Licence form which is completed by your vet must
also be submitted. If your horse is ApHC USA registered, please send a photocopy of both sides of
your ApHC USA Registration Certificate. This should be accompanied with a set of six photographs
of your horse; two of each side, one front view and one back view together with the relevant fee. This
fee includes a new ApHC UK Ltd passport.
If your horse is a registered Appaloosa and you already have a current passport please send your
passport for over-stamping along with a photocopy of both sides of your ApHC Registration
Certificate if your horse is dual registered with the ApHC USA. The fee for over-stamping is £10
for members and £20 non-members. Your horse must meet the appropriate registration criteria to be
eligible for registration with the ApHC UK. Please remember that horses must not have more than
one passport.
If your horse is a stallion please also send a photocopy of his Stallion Licence and a fee of £50 in
addition to the registration fee. If your stallion already has a licence with another breed society or
organisation, this may be acceptable to the ApHC UK provided the stallion has undergone a five
stage vetting and meets all our pedigree and registration requirements.
Transfer of ownership costs are £3 for members and £6 for non-members.
Non-Characteristics Horses
Solid coloured horses who meet the breeding criteria will be eligible for the main register and will be
given a Non-Characteristic prefix, shown as ‘N’ e.g A/N/0001. Solid coloured horses that clearly show
mottled skin and one other characteristic will be issued with regular, main register registrations, in
either Section A or B as appropriate.
Breeding Unknown
If your horse displays characteristics of the breed e.g spotted, mottled skin but their breeding is
unknown you may be eligible to register the horse. Under the Hardship Clause, the ApHC USA
accepts geldings and spayed mares for registration, provided they clearly display Appaloosa coat
patterns, and are not paint, draught or vanner, or pony in type/colour. The ApHC UK will accept these
horses provided they have first applied for and received a registration certificate from the ApHC
USA.
Applying for Passports
Please fully complete the registration form and check the form before posting it to ensure you have
provided ALL the information needed including the date the horse was born etc. Very importantly
please ensure that you have paid the correct postage before sending the mail. It is advisable to send
all passport applications by special post or recorded delivery so that you have proof of postage. We
will send your passports to you recorded delivery. Please also apply for your passport in plenty of
time as they take about 6-8 weeks to process.
NB: With the ongoing situation with Passports, DEFRA and the Breed Societies being Passport Issuing Offices
(PIOs) we cannot guarantee the passport information above will be correct in the future. Please check with the
registrar / website for any updates. We will keep members informed via the newsletter.

ApHC UK Stallion owners must obtain a stallion licence from the ApHC UK if they wish to register the stallion’s
offspring. The stallion must pass a five stage vetting with an independent vet (not your own vet). Once the
veterinary report has been completed, send your Stallion Licence Form and ApHC UK Application Form for a
Veterinary Certifcate for a Colt/Stallion together with a current colour photo (taken side on) and a fee of £50 to
the Registrar. A negative test certificate for the hereditary condition PSSM1 must also accompany the application.
(Details from www.horsedna.co.uk) Please note that stallions must be licenced by 3 years of age if you wish to
register their offspring with the ApHC UK and if you wish to show them at our ApHC UK breed shows. You
can licence stallions after this time but any coverings that take place before they are licenced will not meet our
normal registration criteria.
• ApHC (American) stallions do not need to be licensed to breed to ApHC mares or A register mares. This is
because the ApHC in America does not operate a licensing system. However if ApHC stallions based in the
UK cover a B registered mare the offspring will not be eligible for the main B register unless the stallion is
also licenced with the ApHC UK. Please refer to our registration criteria for more detailed information on our
registration criteria and procedures.
• If your stallion already has a licence with another breed society or organisation, this may be acceptable to the
ApHC UK provided the stallion has undergone a five stage vetting and meets all our pedigree and registration
requirements. You will be sent a stallion licence certificate with the relevant stallion licence number.
