There of the below illustrations of will be NO CHANGE in the 80% rule for horses allowable white markings. with NFQHA certified Sire & Dam. This change is necessitated by the TB dropping off in the 11th generation since NFQHA’s inception 22 years ago. And to ensure realization of our goal of “Breeding the Quarter Horse Back into the Quarter Horse”. Please see website for more info. 1) A horse must be registered with the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA). 2) Before submitting please review the certification requirments and submit the appropriate research/certification fee. 3) A copy of the horse’s AQHA Registration Certificate (and if leased, a copy of the AQHA Lease Authorization Form), must accompany the NFQHA Certification application. 4) The current Owner or Lessee shown on the AQHA Registration Certificate or AQHA Lease Authorization Form, must coincide with the NFQHA member submitting the Certification application. The name need not be identical, but it must be obvious that it is the same person, persons, or entity. 5) Horses must be one of the following colors: Sorrel, Black, Bay, Brown, Grullo, Dun, Red Dun, Chestnut, Red Roan, Blue Roan, Bay Roan, Gray, Palomino, or Buckskin. Horses possessing all three characteristics of pink skin, blue eyes, and white or creme colored coat do not meet the breed color requirement and are not eligible for a registration certificate. They are eligible for research and their offspring are eligible for certification if they meet the other breed requirements. 6) White Markings: A horse may not have any white markings above the middle of the knee or point of hock, nor beyond an imaginary line drawn from the bottom outside edge of each ear, then to the outside bottom edge of the opposite ear, then to the corners of horse’s mouth, and from there under the chin. Horse may not exhibit any belly spots or any white spots with underlying pink skin other than on face or lower legs such that it cannot be completely covered with a disk one inch in diameter. RESEARCH PROCEDURE: NFQHA downloads all our pedigree information directly from AQHA, and research is performed by computer with the NFQHA custom software program. Each line is researched to the parents of the first registered horse, or the first Thoroughbred, or 11 generations, whichever comes first. (11 generations is 2,046 horses, or 33 6-generation pedigrees.) In order to be certified as a Foundation Quarter Horse the researched horse must be found to carry a minimum of 80% Quarter Horse blood per NFQHA research criteria for horses with NFQHA certified sire and dam -or- 85% beginning 02/01/2017 for horses without two NFQHA parents. Qualified Foundation horses shall receive an NFQHA Foundation Certificate and a Blood Analysis Fact sheet showing all Thoroughbred blood found in the research and what percentage it contributed. Non-qualifying horses receive the Blood Analysis Fact Sheet. .

  • Mcoa Report Final
    REPORT TO ROCKY MOUNTAIN HORSE ASSOCIATION GENETIC SURVEY OF THE PMEL17/ SILVER MUTATION WHICH CAUSES MULTIPLE CONGENITAL OCULAR ANOMALIES (MCOA) Final Draft accepted by RMHA Board: 3 October 2020 Prepared by Noah Anderson Chair, Genetics Committee RMHA Assistant Professor of Biology Winona State University Acknowledgements: Our understanding of MCOA results from the efforts of many people. This disorder has been a part of our breed since the beginning. When reading this report, it would be all too easy to forget that the first study happened over 20 years ago with the cooperation of many bold members of the RMHA and the RMHA itself. Rather than letting politics or popularity of their decisions paralyze them, they chose to face MCOA head on. We owe those people a debt of gratitude for doing the right thing by the horse. This study could have stalled out before it even began if it wasn’t for the dogged determination of David Swan and Steve Autry. David and Steve kept us (the genetics committee) corralled until we understood how important understanding MCOA is to the future of our breed. Steve developed the proposal and laid out the experimental design for this project, then carefully shepherded the project until it was near completion. We are fortunate that Steve is continuing to be a guiding light in our genetics committee, as we work to continue the tradition of doing the right thing by the Rocky Mountain Horse. David passed away while this study was being conducted; we will miss his leadership. Mik Fenn kept me swimming in data from our pedigree database of which he is the expert custodian.

  • Identification of Horses Booklet
    colours & marking booklet_10366 21/7/08 14:32 Page 1 1 Introduction The first edition of this booklet was made available to the veterinary profession in 1930. It was in the form of a report from a Sub-Committee, which had been set up by the Council of the RCVS in 1928, to prepare a system of description, colours and markings, etc. of horses for the purpose of identifying individual animals. Since that date there have been several revised editions. Amendments have been made in the light of experience and in response to the changing demands of the equine industry. The significant increase in the international movement of horses and the insistence by a growing number of organisations which hold shows, gymkhanas, events and other competitive functions that horse owners should supply proof of vaccination against equine influenza, have resulted in greater numbers of practitioners being asked to supply the relevant certification. Additionally DEFRA legislation came into force in 2004 requiring all horses to have a passport containing an accurate set of markings. This latest edition (published May 2008) has been produced by Weatherbys, in conjunction with the RCVS and BEVA, in part as a result of the increased use internationally of microchip transponders to identify horses. Nevertheless, the passport, with its recording of a horse’s colour and markings, remains the essential means of identification for Thoroughbred and Non-Thoroughbred horses and ponies under the implementation Regulation of the EC Directives (Commission Regulation (EC) No. 504/2008 of 6 June 2008 and Council Directives 90/426/EEC and 90/427 EEC.

  • Arabian Coat Color Patterns
    Arabian Coat Color Patterns Copyright 2011 Brenda Wahler In the Arabian breed, there are three unusual coat colors or patterns that occur in some purebred horses. The first is sabino, the only white spotting pattern seen in purebred Arabians, characterized by bold white face and leg markings, and, in some cases, body spotting. The second pattern is rabicano, a roan-like intermixture of white and dark hairs. Both sabino and rabicano horses are often registered by their base coat color, with white patterns noted as markings, but some extensively marked individuals have been registered as “roan,” even though true roan is a separate coat color. The third unusual coat color is dominant white, a mutation characterized by a predominantly white hair coat and pink skin, present at birth. All Arabians in the United States currently known to be dominant white trace to a single stallion, foaled in 1996, verified to be the offspring of his registered Arabian parents, both of whom were solid-colored. It is difficult to know how many Arabians have these unusual colors as they are often not searchable in registration records. For many years, Arabians with dominant white, body spots, or simply “too much white” were discouraged from registration, and white body markings were penalized in halter classes. The exclusion of boldly-marked “cropout” horses was also common in other registries, leading to the formation of a number of color breed associations. However, when parentage verification became possible, horses born with “too much” white could be confirmed as the offspring of their stated parents, and breed registries generally relaxed their rules or policies that previously excluded such animals.

  • Identification of the Regions of the Bovine Genome
    IDENTIFICATION OF THE REGIONS OF THE BOVINE GENOME ASSOCIATED WITH GRAY COAT COLOR IN A NELLORE–ANGUS CROSS POPULATION A Thesis by PAUL WESLEY HOLLAND Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, David G. Riley Committee Members, James O. Sanders Clare A. Gill Andy. D. Herring Head of Department, H. Russell Cross May 2015 Major Subject: Animal Breeding Copyright 2015 Paul Wesley Holland ABSTRACT The genetics of coat color for cattle are important to breeders and breed associations because phenotypes of these animals are used for breed recognition and premiums or discounts can be given due to the phenotypes. The gene for gray coat color has been determined in other species, but not in cattle. Gray in cattle is known to be recessive based upon observed inheritance. The objective of this study was to identify the regions of the bovine genome associated with gray coat color in a population of Nellore-Angus crossbred cattle. Additionally, proportions of each color and spotting were of interest. Animals (n = 1941) were classified into phenotypic color categories (i.e. red, black, gray, etc.). Proportions of each color group out of the population were determined, and the proportion of those phenotypes that have any form of spotting. Two genome-wide association analyses were conducted, one where phenotypically gray vs. not gray cattle were analyzed and another where cattle that were very light in color but had a reddish tinge were included as gray.
