by Victoria Hill Hi everyone! It’s hot and so is show season. We hope everyone is doing well, making memories and new friends so far this year.
Register Your Pony with HQPA
I can’t say we have anything exciting to talk about, just living the dream and hope you are too. Show season for the HQPA is going well. Attendance has been down but we make the best of it. We look forward to having more diverse locations all around the state of Indiana for next season. There has also been talk of some winter schooling shows. That would be fun and very cool. No pun intended but if the boot fits! If you are not familiar with the HQPA or our parent organization, the National Quarter Pony Association, let me tell you a little bit about us. We are an association that promotes the little type of Quarter Horse. There are two ways you can get your ponies registered with the NQPA. One way is having a registered AQHA that didn’t quite get as large as it might have so anything 14.2 hh (58” down to 46”) or smaller is eligible for registration with the NQPA. The second way is called Hardship registration. You can get your pony measured by a licensed veterinarian and fill out the proper forms with pictures to send in to NQPA or if you live in an area or at a show where there are three NQPA/HQPA representatives present and they have the ‘official’ measuring stick, they can take care of the measuring part. However, your pony must not have any Paint/ Pinto splotches or Appaloosa coat patterns visible. This is for solid colored ponies only. (I can hear the groans from here.) If you have any questions at all, please feel free to chat with us on our Facebook page or look us up on the Internet. We would be happy to tell you all about us and how you too, can become a registered NQPA pony owner. We do have fun no matter what.
Until next month, take care and God bless.
