Laney,

The categories we have now just "grew" in response to member requests 
for their particular breed.

If I had to guess - half Arab means that the horse is listed in the 
partbred section of the AHA registry and that Arab cross is not.  I 
could be wrong on this.  In the partbred AHA records - we can get 
pedigrees for AAHR and HAHR.

I personally would chose grade only if I didn't have any clue what the 
breed was.  Other is if none of the other 59 categories fits but is a 
real breed.

There are certainly  horses that gait and the owner doesn't have a clue 
what they are.

At the Old Glory ride last w/e, I was riding behind a gal and noticed 
she wasn't posting.  I asked her what type of gaited horse she was 
riding and she didn't know.  She certainly liked riding him though.

Making sure your horse is listed correctly in the records helps us get 
better statistics for breed awards as well as just better data.
