Horse Registrations

[Rocky Hill Simmental]

This doesn't relate to cattle but it does relate to livestock but I'm posting it anyway. My mare had her foal today.  ;D I have a few questions for the horse people.

My mare is a registered appaloosa horse. She's a red roan/leopard like the traditional appaloosas like you see on those old westerns. The sire is a registered paint with no spots. He's a blood bay with a blazed face (he's heavily quarter horse influenced).

The colt has a red face/neck with a white body with leopard spots. He has a black mane and tail. He's one of the neatest colored colts I've ever seen before. He's a spunky one too.

I know it's probably a little early to ask this but I'm really excited.  ;D Can I get the colt registered?
I read somewhere that you can register a horse that's marked up like an appaloosa in the appaloosa assoication as long as they're casterated. I also found this webpage today when I was searching:
http://members.tripod.com/~spottedhorses/index.html
Have any of you ever registered a horse this way?

My mare had a solid colored filly last year but sadly she lost it because she had a bad bag. This year we checked her milk directly and it was good.

I haven't taken a photo of him yet because the mare was pretty annoyed we were messing with him so much in the first place. I might later when I go out and feed though. He's marked very uniquely.

Thanks in advance.

Well this one was a challenge as I'm not an Appaloosa person but I do remember that the registry (ApHC) has had a "Hardship Registry" in the past.  So I went to their website and found that, yes, you can register if you follow all the rules.  You can find the info on www.appaloosa.com.  Download the rulebook (it's only about 1.5 mb total) and go to page 63. << A. Geldings and spayed mares which do not meet pedigree requirements or are of unknown pedigree will be accepted for registration if they otherwise meet the requirements for Regular registration and are not ineligible for registration as stated in HORSES NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REGISTRATION. Hardship registration applications are available, at no charge, through the ApHC. >>  You can read all the rules on the site as far as what has to be done to register any App incuding hardship ones.

I'm not an Appaloosa person but  I *thought* that the Aphc would not allow any horse with paint breeding to be registered....        or wonder if it's the other way around.    I'll have to do some looking.

Thanks! I'll have to check out the hardship registery.  ;D

I attached a picture of him and the dam for anyone interested.

Thanks, everyone!  ;D

I was quite surprised by the colors myself. Her last foal was a solid bay with just a tiny white spot on her forehead. The guy I got her from actually bought her from a horse feedlot because she was bred. She had a solid colored buckskin without a spot of white on her that time.

I show Appaloosas and I got this right out of the rule book. But since the sire is a reg. Paint you will not be able to reg the foal.  I hope this helps.  I have had to register a few geilding under the hardship.  I am kinda glad that they went back to this they were gettin 2 many QH in the Appaloosa association dont get me wrong I have shown QH but the Appaloosa is about the color pattern.
