How to Double Register a Cropout (horse without a Paint parent)

WHAT IS DOUBLE REGISTRATION? Double registration can occur when a cropout foal (a foal with QH or Thoroughbred parents) is eligible for registration with either the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) or Jockey Club (JC) and the American Paint Horse Association. To register your cropout foal, the following items must be submitted in their entirety:

Section 1—Foal Information

1. Complete the enclosed American Paint Horse Association registration application. Information should be consistent with the horseÕs AQHA or JC registration certificate. The name issued at AQHA or JC should be listed as the first name choice. Please be sure to list a second and third choice in the event that the first name choice is not available.
   
   A photocopy, both front and back showing complete ownership record and markings, of the cropoutÕs AQHA or JC registration certificate must be submitted.
   

Section 2—Stallion Requirements

2. BreederÕs Certificate/SBR—The copy of the cropoutÕs registration certificate will be used in lieu of a BreederÕs Certificate and/or Stallion Breeding Report. When completing Section 2, BreederÕs Certificate, you need only to list the names of the sire and dam. Stallion Breeding Report information will be obtained directly from AQHA or JC, but the appropriate filing fees will still apply. The filing fee is $10 per report PLUS $4 to list the mare (Nonmembers: $20 per report PLUS $8 per mare listed on the report). If the sire already has a Stallion Breeding Report on file with APHA for the appropriate breeding year, the filing fee will be $4 to add the mare (Nonmembers: $8).
   
   
3. Listing—The sire must be "listed" with American Paint Horse Association as an eligible sire. To list, the enclosed Stallion Listing Card must be completed and signed by the recorded owner of the sire at the time of breeding. A photocopy of the stallionÕs AQHA or JC certificate of registration must be sent to APHA (front and back, showing complete ownership record). There is a one-time $75.00 fee (Nonmembers: $150) to list the stallion. If the stallion has been previously listed but ownership has changed, the new owner must submit a new listing card and photocopy of the certificate showing the ownership change; there is no additional charge.
   
   
4. DNA—All breeding stallions must have their bloodtype/DNA genotype on file at a laboratory approved by the Association in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Association. If you have a Quarter Horse stallion whose bloodtype/DNA genetic type is already on file at AQHA, we will place their results on file at no charge to you. Simply notify us by letter or telephone.
   
   The Jockey Club requires, in order to release the bloodtyping results on a Thoroughbred stallion, that the APHA submit a written authorization letter from the recorded owner of the stallion giving APHA permission to use the bloodtype on file with Jockey Club. The authorization letter must be sent to the Field Services Department at the American Paint Horse Association. Upon receipt of the letter, we will write the Jockey Club requesting a copy of the bloodtyping results. Once the results are received by the APHA, they will be placed on file at no charge to you.

Section 3—Original Owner of Foal

5. A photocopy of the damÕs AQHA or JC registration certificate must be submitted, both front and back, showing complete ownership record and markings. Per Rule RG-070 the original owner of the foal is the record owner of the dam at the time of foaling. However, the current owner of the cropout (as recorded on the AQHA or JC certificate), can sign Section 3, Original Owner of Foal, on behalf of the original owner.
   

   Section 4—Transfer of Foal

6. Per Rule RG-070 if the current record owner of the cropout is different than the record owner of the dam at the time of foaling, a transfer report, along with a $15 transfer fee (Nonmembers: $40), must accompany the application. If the record owner of the dam at the time of foaling signed Section 3, Original Owner of Foal, then Section 4, Transfer of Foal, must be completed and signed by the record owner of the dam at the time of foaling. If the current owner of the cropout signed Section 3, on behalf of the original owner, they can also complete and sign Section 4 on behalf of the original owner. A separate transfer form, completed in its entirety, can be attached.
   
   
7. The owner of the dam at time of foaling, or the resultant owner, must be a current member in the exact same name or a nonmember fee will be charged. Example: Joint memberships cannot be used for single ownerships and vice versa. If a nonmember fee is paid instead of a membership fee, nonmember fees will be charged for each transaction submitted in that name during the membership period. It is recommended that a membership be purchased in order for benefits of membership to be received.
   
   
8. The registration fee is based on the age of the horse at the time the application is submitted and the postmark date (postal meters are not acceptable for determining fees). The age of the horse is computed by the calendar year starting on January 1 of the year foaled.
   
   
9. Parentage Verification—Beginning in 2000 all horses resulting from the breeding of two Quarter Horses or a Quarter Horse and a Thoroughbred or two Thoroughbreds must be parentage verified using DNA genetic testing prior to registration. If parentage verification has been completed at either AQHA or JC, it may not be necessary to repeat the testing.
   
   
10. Photographs—Five photographs of the horse must accompany the application: one direct front view, one direct rear view, and a direct view of each side. One additional direct side view (preferably the one with the most identifiable markings) should be included to be placed on the completed registration certificate. The image of the horse must be no larger than 2 1/4" high x 3" wide in this photograph. Standing approximately 20 feet from the horse should produce the desired size. Please do not trim the photographs, this will be done during processing, if necessary.
    
    
11. Be sure to include good close-up photographs of the qualifying area. The qualifying area must be a solid white spot exceeding two inches with some underlying unpigmented (pink) skin, which was present on the horse at the time of its birth. (See the enclosed instruction sheet on taking photographs of minimal white horses for more details.) If the horse does not have sufficient white to be eligible for the Regular Registry, it will be ineligible for registration.
