Got two started on barrels

A horseman friend of ours bought a barrel horse for his young daughter
several years ago. The horse was a chestnut, and as well made conformation wise as I've ever seen. He was something else. Of course,
the horse was registered and the friend who sold the horse said he'd send
the papers. And he did.

Our friend picked them up at the post office.
Imagine the look on his face as he read the horse was registered alright...registered Appaloosa!!!!!!!!

The seller didn't answer his phone for a long, long time. Wink

Worked out okay, the horse was a good one.

I honestly don't know because I never spent the $100 for the papers. All that is what the man read off the papers when I talked to him on the phone. As for him bein a appy, yeap he is...but I was under the impression that there are QH that are app colored??? I'm not big on bloodlines..don't know a whole lot about it. But am interested in learnin. I have paid enuff attention to know several of the good foundation QH if I see em listed on papers...that's bout it LOL

Actually, I am fairly sure that a horse marked as an Appaloosa cannot have QH papers. A registered Appaloosa I think, CAN have some AQHA
horses on theirs. I believe they did this to improve the Appaloosa
bloodlines.

Things have changed some since I was really into this, so it may
have changed somewhere along the line, but I don't think so.

When I looked up the breeding on that allpedigree.com site...there were notations under each registered horse...if it was App or QH..so you may be right.....he may have had App Papers and I just assumed QH.......oh well....LOL he is what he is....and he seems to be doin ok.

I don't think any of us meant to downgrade the horse. It was more
a registration discussion.
Many app's are more than okay. Like the barrel horse I mentioned.
