An ApHC Extended Pedigree is required to calculate the horse's division and level. Every horse in the pedigree must have its registry and registration number listed, or shown as unregistered or unknown. Pedigree should be at least through the last full generation of registered Appaloosas, and the one after that to show the horse(s) that are stopping the level from going higher. An extended pedigree from the ApHC will be required. No AllBreedPedigree or others like it will be accepted. We now have horses that go further than these four and five-generation pedigrees go, so extended pedigrees may be required on sires and dams or grandparents to cover them. NOTE: If the sire and dam are ICAA registered, these extended pedigrees are not required. If there are any ICAA registered horses in a horse's extended pedigree, the pedigree does not need to go further back on those ICAA horses.
All required (6-Panel), and optional (color/pattern) Genetic Test Results that may be available. These test results will be put on the horse's Registration Certificate. Test results must have the lab reference number, case number, or the number specific to the testing facility used. Note: ALL stallions and mares must have their DNA Profile (ISAG+) on file with Animal Genetics (AGI) under our account.
The appropriate fee (don’t miss the discount for registering multiple horses).
