Registration

Answer: No. The only horses that can be registered on the ApHC UK A register are those horses that already hold an American certificate.

Query 2: If I can not put my horse on the A register because I haven’t applied for an American certificate then can it automatically go on the B register?

Answer: No. Only if the horse meets the specific registration criteria for the B register can it be registered on the B register.

Query 3: I have used AI from an American registered stallion that is not resident in the UK and therefore does not hold an ApHC UK stallion licence on my British ApHC UK registered mare who is not herself eligible for the A register. The foal does not meet the registration criteria for the A register. Is it eligible for the B register the same as the dam?
Answer: Yes it is eligible to go on the B register.  For the purposes of the B register the ApHC is considered an approved breed register and we accept offspring where the sire is an American ApHC registered stallion provided the stallion is not resident in the UK.  If the stallion is resident in the UK then it would have to hold an ApHC UK Stallion Licence in line with our normal rules.

Query 4: I have a foal out of my ApHC UK registered mare by a thoroughbred stallion. Is the foal eligible for the B register even though the thoroughbred stallion is not licensed with the ApHC UK?
Answer: Yes provided the sire is registered in the main register of the Jockey Club or Weatherby’s then the foal can be registered on the B register. The ApHC UK only licences appaloosa stallions who are registered with the ApHC UK. (The same answer would apply to Arab and Quarter horse stallions).

Query 5: I bought a horse that was registered with BAPS before 1 February 2000 and it holds a BAPS passport (it is not registered with America). However its sire is dead so can not be licensed with the ApHC UK. I want to register it with the ApHC UK on the B register as it is a British appaloosa. Can I register it?

Answer: Yes, we accept horses registered with BAPS before the 1 February 2000 when the ApHC UK was formed. Prior to that date the only register held in the UK was with BAPS so horses born before that date couldn’t have been registered anywhere else (unless of course they were eligible for registration with America). Therefore horses registered with BAPS before 1 February 2000 do not have to be sired by a stallion licensed with the ApHC UK and we overstamp their BAPS passport.
