3 Rob Bates Calculating Your Horse’s Foundation Appaloosa Percentage for FAHR registration
The method used by the Foundation Appaloosa Horse Registry is simple. It is easy for anyone to determine their horse’s Foundation percentage themselves. You just need a basic working knowledge of fractions and percentages. The system is based on a single con- cept—other breed blood which is added into a horse’s pedigree for horses registered with ApHC with numbers higher than 69,999 subtracts from that horse’s percentage of foundation Appaloosa horse blood. It’s that simple. For FAHR registration purposes, all horses with an ApHC number lower than 69,999 are considered Foundation. That’s right—FAHR doesn’t just use the ApHC F numbers as foundation, but also includes all of those registered up to 69,999 as foundation horses as well. The number of 69,999 is used because that is the eighth stud book and the time when many felt the ApHC books should have been closed to crossbreeding. The purpose of using the 69,999 for FAHR registration was to have a blood pool to breed up from, since there were not many horses around at the time. All horses carrying a “NC”, “ID”, or “PC” prefix before the ApHC number must trace to either F # or a horse with a registration number of 69999 or less to be given any kind of percentage. Some are 100% some are 0% regardless of their number. If another breed appears in your horse’s pedigree, with a number of less than 69,999 that does not matter. If he shows up as a sire or dam of an ApHC registered horse after 69,999 that will bring down that horse’s Foundation percentage. A sire or dam contributes 50% to their offspring’s genetics. So, a horse possessing an ApHC number that was higher than 69,999, which also has another breed parent can only be a maximum of 50% foundation blood. To calculate any FAHR percentage of foundation blood you would keep moving backwards in their pedigree until you arrive at a regis- tered ApHC horse foaled with a number of 69,999 or less or an F# (100% foundation), or another breed (0% foundation). See exam- ple of below. This is a actual horse of breeding age today.

5 FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT FROM THE EDITOR Here I am again, late, as usual. Where did that three months go? All I can say is I will try to do bet- ter. Hope everyone had a joyous Christmas, and I wish for you all a healthy, prosperous, and blessed New Year. I want to take this opportunity to thank Dawn Bates for all the hard work getting the FAHR website cleaned of the viruses and malware that has infected it for quite some time. She has also been doing some much needed updating. There is a ways to go, but progress is being made.

Jennifer Thomas 6 Linda Taylor speak with me and I will always be grateful to her for FROM THE FOUNDER that; may she rest in peace. My further desire in forming FAHR was to educate and inform Appaloosa breeders in an attempt to help them breed higher percentage by blood Appaloosas and in turn to select, isolate and recover the bloodlines of the original Appaloosas that were used to form the Appa- loosa breed. This is what the Tidings was to be used for and was used for until the previous editor began usurp- ing it for the benefit of the ApHC FPD and GAP pro- grams. At the time this began happening, I attempted to put a newsletter committee in place and was told by John Hess that no one was going to tell Edna Street what she could or could not print in the Tidings. As chair of the breeders advisory committee, she began to cut me from the loop of the applicant Appaloosas that were being discussed and registered. As well, increasing the percentages as planned from the forming of FAHR was tabled at the 2006 general membership meeting. The excuse used was that there were not enough FAHR reg- istered horses as yet to make this a viable option. After this meeting, VP Ken Haskins who had being working diligently on this for some time became disillusioned as he could see the direction and agenda that was being formed by Edna Street and John Hess. Not long after this, the breeders advisory committee (i.e., Edna Street, John Hess, Bill Wicklund, and Kathy Conklin) began their attempt to change the original intent of the registry to include generational horses and move away from by As the founder of FAHR, I have recently come to blood percentages.

AGENDA
1. Discuss website problems and steps to take:
Discussed among the membership present was the issue about the FAHR website. The billing for the services, the trade- mark logo currently being used illegally and advising the internet server about these violations of the law. President Rob Bates explained that a letter from our lawyer needs to be sent to the internet server that was hosting the website. Teresa Wells made a motion to have our lawyer draft a letter to the internet server. Xen Anderson seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous in favor of spending funds to have a letter written by our attorney.

Dale Robertson, famed movie star and producer, elected to ride the famous Navajo Britches, when he led a downtown parade at Shawnee, Oklahoma. Robertson, who is well known for his role as Jim Hardy in the “Tales of Wells Fargo”, narrated the movie “Appaloosa” and has done much to promote the spotted breed. A long time friend of the owners of Navajo Britches, the Hudlows of the Hudlow Dia- mond H Ranch, Robertson has bred some of his out- standing Quarter Mares to the famous Appaloosa.

Foundation breeding is your only guarantee for real Appaloosa characteristics. Foundation bloodlines continue to prove themselves by producing Appaloosas of the finest characteristics in the Appaloosa business. Foundation Appaloosa breeding has produced a far superior horse. Now is the time to put disposition, conformation, and characteristics back into your Appaloosas.

Providing owners of FAHR registered mares the opportunity to infuse new bloodlines into their breeding programs at a reduced fee rate.

All other particulars, i.e.: transportation, mare care (wet/ dry), possible farrier or veterinary costs, AI collection, semen shipping charges, or other special breeding arrangements and expenses, will be strictly between participating stallion and mare owners and are to be conducted separate from FAHR involvement.
D) Breeding arrangements between participating stallion owners and mare owners are to be made and agreed upon by written contract signed by each party prior to service acceptance.
E) On final signing of the breeding contract the qualifying mare owner is to send the listed service fee by check, US bank draft, or US postal money order, To: FAHR “Stallion Barn” P.O. Box 1134, Middlebury, IN 46540, and made payable to:: Foundation Appaloosa Horse Registry, Inc.

Total Records Processed: 476477
Number of 1st generation outcrosses: 201991 This report was published by ApHC Board of Director, Number of 1st generation Appaloosas: 274486 Roy Scoles in 1992. As you can see there were only 39 Number of 2nd generation Appaloosas: 75212 horses with 4 generations of Appaloosa to Appaloosa Number of 3rd generation Appaloosas: 4851 breeding. When FAHR formed, it was determined that Number of 4th generation Appaloosas: 39 there were approximately 2500 Appaloosas eligible for Number of 5th generation Appaloosas: 0 FAHR registration which included NC’s. Perhaps som e- Number of 6th generation Appaloosas: 0 one can explain how it supposedly went from approxi- Number of 6th generation Appaloosas with regular papers: 0 mately 2500 in 1997 to approximately 100,000 today. FAHR has never been interested in the number of genera- tions rather what is in those generations. The horses eligible for FAHR can only advance as fast as they can be produced.
