Palomino Bred Registry

Palomino Bred Registry

This registry provides an opportunity for horses that have a palomino parent to be part of the Palomino family.  The Palomino Bred Registry (PB) has been developed to provide an avenue of recognition and competition for PHBA offspring which either are off-color or are lacking the ideal coat and mane & tail characteristics, and thereby do not meet the regular PHBA registration guidelines. Horses seeking PB registration must have one parent registered with PHBA (not including the PB registry) and the other parent is registered in a PHBA recognized equine registry.

Description:

The eligible Palomino Bred applicant:

  • Is a horse of ANY color
  • May exhibit any characteristics that do not meet the PHBA registration guidelines as stated in the current year PHBA Official Handbook, Rules 503-512. These may be, but are not limited to, a palomino bred with Paint markings, Appaloosa markings or a palomino that displays less than a 75% white mane and tail color.
  • Must be produced from the breeding of a least one PHBA registered parent (not including the PB registry) and the other parent is registered in a PHBA recognized equine registry

When breeding to a Palomino we typically hope for a golden offspring, but nature often has a mind of its own.  This registry recognizes those offspring which are off-color.  As an association, PHBA wants to encourage those offspring to be part of the PHBA family and this growing registry provides that opportunity.  REGISTER YOUR OFFSPRING NOW!
