Not sure I have ever seen one - these are the ones I know:

the ApHC is the Appalossa Horse Club, NFQHA is the National Foundation Quarter Horse Association, FQHR is the Foundation Quarter Horse Association, ARHA is the American Ranch Horse Association, IBHA is the International Buckskin Horse Association, ABHA is the American Buckskin Horse Association, ASHA is the American Sport Horse Association... I know there are more, but can't think of them right now!!!
