As far as the "giving in" part, I suspect (and this is only my 
assumption, that's all) that the new AHA president had something to do 
with it. He seems to want to resolve all this stuff (lawsuits) in order 
to stop draining the $$$ out of the registry.

But I would like to know more about the particulars of the lawsuit. I 
breed Akhal Tekes (a rare breed from Turkmenistan) and there is 
something similar going on with these horses, in that Russia (who holds 
the parent studbook) cast out certain horses twenty years ago on the  
grounds they had TB blood in them. The action was rather shady, and 
news of this didn't reach American till breeders here had used that 
stock extensively. Now, the American Teke registries are trying to 
figure out if  they should call these horses purebred or what.

Does anybody know more about the lineage of the four  horses in dispute 
and WHY the AHA did not consider them purebreds?
