RE: [RC] Gaited horse statistics - Kristen A Fisher

If one parent is an Arabian and one is not, the result is a half-arab, and
can and should be listed as such in AERC IMO. 

Whether or not it is registered with the AHA is an entirely separate point.
AERC chooses to let people self-identify what their horse's breed is.

I could be mistaken here but a half arab is registered.  A 
grade is not registered so if you have an arabian that is not 
registered it is a grade not half arabian.

I bet I wasn't the only person who thought since my horse 
didn't have a
registration number, I wasn't ALLOWED to choose half-Arab.

I'll be making the change soon, thanks.  Although, if there 
WAS a "gaited"
designation I think I would not mark it, as the trot is our 
endurance gait 
of
choice.  His foxtrot is too slow.  The only reason I ever 
tell anyone he's
gaited is that the vets sometimes see him foxtrot and if I 
didn't tell 
them in
advance they'd definitely be surprised!!

Thanks,

Quoting Michael Maul <mmaul@xxxxxxxxx>:

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.

Maybe the time has come to really encourage people to

horses' information.  I wish that the "arab cross" and 
"half arab"
groups could be combined because they are the same 
thing.  However, it
would be very nice to know what the other "half" or 
"cross" is too. If
folks are interested in whether a horse is gaited or 
not, there should
be a way to indicate that for breeds where it wouldn't 
be normal.  That
would include even "arab cross" and "half arab."  There 
are also gaited
appaloosas, morgans and quite a few others, including "arab" and
certainly "grade."
