At some point registries become trade organizations for big business. 
Rather than promoting a "breed" they are organizied to protect the 
investment of breeders, trainers, etc. At some point - especially 
considering Arabians - where there doesn't seem to be an agreed to world 
wide one definition of an Arabian horse this can be interpreted as 
"restraint of trade" or "promoting a monopoly." This may have been the 
crux as to why the AHA settled. The change the the AHA claim probably 
forcasted this move.

Actually the claim was pretty silly to start with. Prior to DNA tracking 
there was no way to validate the claim.

At some point it all gets back to money.
