The Appaloosa Horse Club will issue new registration certificates to owners who apply for Foundation Pedigree Designation (FPD) and the Generational Advancement Program (GAP).

To designate a horse FPD, the ApHC has adhered a sticker with an image of Chief Joseph and the FPD percentage to the horse’s certificate. With the implementation of the GAP in January 2006, the ApHC realized that an additional sticker would clutter the certificate, particularly on those already bearing DNA stickers and inspectors’ stamps.

To maintain a professional appearance on the registration certificates, the ApHC is reprinting them to include the FPD and GAP designations, which will appear to the right of the foal date and eliminate the need for stickers for both programs. If DNA is on file for the horse, that will also be added to the description line.
