What's New

The ICAA Annual Membership Meeting will be held via teleconference on Saturday, September 25, 2021 at 12:00 noon EST (11:00 CST, 10:00 MST, 9:00 PST),  so mark your calendars!   We used to have a Meet & Greet for an hour prior to our in-person meetings, which is sorely missed.  If you wish to call in during a one-half hour period prior to the meeting time, feel free to do so!  People like to chat prior to our meetings, so this will allow them that time without cutting into the meeting.

We do have a few important proposals this year, so please be on and take part!  

This is our most important meeting of the year!  If you have any proposals, please submit those prior to the meeting date.  Take part, as this is your registry, and your ideas and proposals are important.  The meeting will be via teleconference, so everyone can attend without the cost of travel, meals, and lodging.

The dial-in number and access code will be sent out prior to the meeting to active members.  If you need to renew, please do.  You can renew online.                

We want to welcome Amanda Hubbert as the new District Representative for District VII!  Her area encompasses the  states of CA, OR and WA.

This was the ICAA Trail Logging Program, but revamped!  This program, which allows for not only riding and driving your horse for pleasure, but also allows for time spent with your Appaloosa for other activities, including  grooming, leading, lunging, trailer loading,  in-hand obstacle training, at-liberty training, and any other non-competitive activity.  This will allow horses from birth to earn recognition for the work put into producing a quiet, dependable family member.  This enhanced program also allows for one handler, in addition to the owner, to work with and record time spent with the horse, so we would encourage owners to be mentors to our younger generation.

ICAA recognizes the importance of working with our Appaloosas from foaling to finished riding partner. Time spent working with your Appaloosa helps to form a bond that will last a lifetime. 

The ICAA Horsemanship Program is designed to record and recognize the hours spent working with and training your Appaloosa.  In this program, the owner and/or handler keeps track of the hours spent working with and training the Appaloosa; recording, and submitting them to ICAA, where they will be recorded in the horse’s permanent record and Certificates of Achievement will be earned for each milestone reached.

This program will be ongoing through the life of the horse, and will transfer to the new owner, should the horse be sold. 

Go to the Programs: Horsemanship page  to learn more about the rules of this new program.  For those who are already enrolled in the Trail Logging Program, you will continue to keep time on the log sheet you have, but other activities may be included as per the Horsemanship Program rules.
