If you have not yet registered your yearling or older horses with the Palomino Horse Breeders of America, now is the time to act.

For the next two months, the PHBA is offering discounted registration fees to all members.

“The association has been offering the discounted registration program for many years now,” said General Manager Terri Green. “The decision to continue it recently is due to the inflation brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.”

Green said the association feels the program helps to get more people to register their palomino and palomino bred horses.

And the program has paid off.

“We do have people that hold off to register their horses until the special runs,” Green explained.

The registration special applies to all registration typesregular registry as well as palomino bred horses.

Now through April 30, eligible yearlings can be registered and receive papers for just $60. The fee for eligible horses that are 2-years-old and over is $80.

Horses registered with the American Morgan Horse Association, American Quarter Horse Association, American Saddlebred Horse Association, Arabian Horse Association, Jockey Club (Thoroughbred), International Morab Registry, American Paint Horse Association, Appaloosa Horse Club, Mountain Pleasure Horse Association, Rocky Mountain Horse Association, the Missouri Fox Trotting Horse Breed Association, the American Holsteiner Horse Association, and the United Quarab Registry are eligible to apply for regular registry provided the horse meet color and white rules.

If your horse is not eligible for registration with one of these breed associations, then your horse will fall under the Color/Conformation rules.

Color/Conformation horses: 35mm pictures - (clear full view front, back, each side, and any additional close-ups of white markings, brands, scars, etc.) must accompany the application. Polaroid photographs are not accepted.

In 2011, the PHBA introduced the Palomino Bred registration category, which allows horses with at least one PHBA registered parent to be registered, regardless of the horse’s color.

The PHBA provides recreational, financial and competitive rewards for every age group, and classes for novice, amateur, youth and open competitors. Classes range from halter to Jumping, Horsemanship to Driving, Cutting to Saddle Seat, Pole Bending to Reining, Parade Horse and Barrel Racing. In addition, there are many opportunities for trail riders and youth, as well as incentives for stallion owners.

To be eligible for any of the registration discounts offered through April 30, the owner/applicant must be a PHBA member in good standing.

“It’s a great time to take advantage of the discounted fees,” Green said.

PHBA maintains records on more than 93,000 horses and owners, more than 250,000 horse show entries, and over five hundred horse shows.
