Because they weren't purebreds.  They have documented European ancestry
that is other than Arabian.

This is one of those big bucks sell-outs, as far as I'm concerned.  The
over-simplified version is that WAHO insisted that all registries accept
horses from all other registries, and the AHR had the backbone to stand up
and say no.  As a result, WAHO managed to mess with the
importing/exporting to the US.  There were ways around that, and those who
wanted to import/export still managed to get it done.

The new AHA combines the interests of the megabucks folks in the show
world with the registration entity, and I figured it would only be a
matter of time before AHA caved in on this.
