Breed/Performance Association Acronyms

bettymo · 08-29-2006, 11:21 AM

i find myself having to look up what different horse breed acronyms are when i'm reading people's posts. maybe i'm not the only one. i know what the AQHA and the APHA is...but there are so many...is there a list of all these horsey acronyms somewhere?

gbarmranch · 08-29-2006, 11:25 AM

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!!!

Not that I know of but here are a few more:
(Could this one be a sticky for future reference?)

AJC: American Jockey Club
TB: Thoroughbred
PtHA: Pinto Horse Association
PHBA: Palomino Horse Breeders Association
IBHA: International Buckskin Horse Association
AHSA: American Horse Show Association
AWS: American Warmblood Society

Who has more?

I know this isn't the place for this but Gbarmranch I was wondering if that avitar picture was a grulla or a buckskin?

sparkyharky · 08-29-2006, 12:56 PM

IAHA and AHRA are no longer valid..now it is AHA for Arabian Horse Association..they are now a combined registry...
