Welcome to the Texas Appaloosa
Horse Club home page!
|
Organized in 1954, the Texas Appaloosa Horse Club
is one of the country's first four regional affiliates of the Appaloosa Horse
Club. The TAHC's purpose is to promote the Appaloosa horse at the state
level.
The TAHC has been a pioneer in many areas. It had a
point system, an approved judges list, and drug testing in effect several years
before the National or most regional clubs began such efforts. The TAHC has
long been a leader in the promotion of the Appaloosa horse and will strive to
continue this tradition in the future.

| 2010 ApHC Membership Information |
Per ApHC rules, everyone, both owner
and exhibitor must show proof of 2010 ApHC membership to show at an ApHC
pointed show. We understand many of our members and exhibitors will not have
received their cards before the Winternational Show. Please go to the following
website and print out your membership verification and bring it to the show
with you. Also, the ApHC is not sending out Novice stickers as of 2010. The
Novice eligibility information is also available on this webpage. Anyone
wishing to show in a Novice class will need to furnish the show office with
this information.
http://www.appaloosa.com/asna2007/mbrverify.aspx
Unfortunately
due to the ApHC rules, anyone unable to furnish proof of 2010 membership will
have to purchase one at the show.
This is an ApHC rule, not a Texas ApHC
rule. |

Texas Equine Incentive Program
Meeting
Jim Corrigan |
I went to the meeting as planned yesterday. I
don’t have my notes with me, but here’s a short recap of what I can
recall.
Lonnie Ledbetter and a lady from the Dallas area whose name,
I’m embarrassed to admit escapes me right now, also flew down for the
meeting, and a lady (I think it was Merida, but I’m not sure) from the
ApHC office attended by phone. Rep. Sid Miller, who sponsored the legislation,
HB 1881, was also in attendance, as were reps from AQHA, APHA,
ATB and a couple north Texas quarter horse ranchers.
As envisioned by
Representative Miller, this will be a Texas-bred, Texas-born program, with
points being earned at accredited events in Texas eligible for payback from the
program. AQHA, ApHC and APHA stallions that breed six or more mares are
automatically in the program by submission of their stallion report, unless
they elect to opt-out of the program 30 days before their stallion report is
due to the breed association. Stallions who breed less than six mares may
opt-in by payment of the required fees, set in the legislation at $30 per mare
bred, whether the stallion bred more or less than six mares.
Rep.
Miller’s intent was that the program would be an all-or-none deal for the
stallion - pay for each mare bred, or don’t pay for any. I entered into
the discussion that I thought that more participants could be induced to join
the program if stallion owners were able to exclude from payment those mares
whose foals would have no chance of participating in the Texas Equine Incentive
Program, i.e., those mares for whom semen was shipped out-of-state. I think
that suggestion was well-received by all. The Texas Department of Agriculture
will be responsible for establishing the rules and administering the program,
with the law to come into effect on September 1st. Payouts under the program
won’t happen for a couple years at best.
There will be follow-on
meetings to get the rules written and published. There are still many questions
and areas to be fleshed out, many related to documentation and how information
will be exchanged. There was no discussion regarding nominating foals, for
instance. If a review of the meager notes I took at the meeting have any other
nuggets, I’ll try to pass them along. I think I may be a captive audience
for these folks who will be writing the rules and procedures involved in the
administration of this program, working in such close proximity to them as I
do.
You can review or download Rep. Miller’s bill. It’s
not very long.
If you have any ideas you would like me to pass along,
you can send them to me at my other e-mail address:
jimaloosa@cs.com. Thanks. |
