International Quarter Pony Association
A Worldwide Registry for Stock-Type Ponies, Regardless of Color.
A Worldwide Registry for Stock-Type Ponies, Regardless of Color.
For the past fifteen years, IQPA has had an “open” stud book. All ponies were accepted so long as they look to be of stock-type breeding. While these ponies can still register and participate in our points program, we are moving to a more purebred registry.
Introducing: Select Registry
For a pony to qualify for Select Registry, both parents must be registered with a known stock-type registry:
International Quarter Pony (IQPA), American Quarter Pony (AQPA), National Quarter Pony (NQPA), American Paint Pony (APPR), Pony of the Americas (POA), American Quarter Horse (AQHA); American Paint Horse (APHA), Appaloosa (ApHC).
Select Registry will not accept parents for crosses that are not a traditional stock horse: Thoroughbred, Arabian, Welsh, Pollock, Shetland, Fjord, etc.
A breeding report must be presented for all Select Registry ponies. While an IQPA report is ideal, the registry will accept a copy of the breeding report sent to any approved registries.
We will still welcome stock-type ponies as a place to register and participate, the Standard (one approved parent) and Hardship (Unknown parents) are still available without changes.
New for 2025 there will no longer be a fee to submit a breeding report.
? Can any aged pony qualify for the Select Registry?
o YES! A Select Registry pony must have a breeding report. In the absence of a breeding report, the pony must be fully registered with an approved organization: IQPA, AQPA, NQPA, APPR, POA, AQHA, APHA, ApHC.
? I have a Hardship registered IQPA pony. Will the offspring be eligible for the Select Registry?
o YES! So long as all other qualifications are fulfilled: Breeding Report, BOTH parents approved, etc.
? Can my IQPA Standard Registry pony receive a Select Registry certificate?
o YES! So long as the pony qualifies with a breeding report OR fully registered with an approved registry.
o Active IQPA Participants can pay a $10 processing fee, non-participants owe $25. (All funds must be in US dollars).
? What would be the advantage of registering my pony in the Select Registry?
o Added value for resale and breeding.
o Showing ponies will earn extra awards and incentives.
? Do I need to request Select Registry when I register my pony?
o There will be an added line to applications: Upload supporting documents. This is where you add your breeding report or copy of approved registration.
? How much does a Select Registry application cost?
o For active IQPA Participants: $30 USD (Same as Standard).
o For non-Participants: $45 USD.
? I’m an IQPA Stallion owner. How do you want a breeding report filed?
o NEW! On-Line form: https://forms.gle/ZvaoU6rFwoXPyq2WA
o NEW! No fee to report your breedings.

Supreme Champion is very difficult to earn, only four ponies have ever done it! This Title requires the pony to earn five Superior Titles in five different events, One must be in Halter.
"Bella was born on our farm in May of 2014. I bred my favorite mare to have Bella. When she was born she was so small, for her first turnout my husband picked her up and carried her outside because she wouldn't step off of the concrete aisle. And while I bred for a horse and got a pony - I wouldn't change her for the world.
"As a young pony she excelled in trail showing, occasionally being a little too nosey on the course for her own good. We honestly can't go past an open trash can without her sticking her head in it. Bella was trained for western pleasure and finally at 6 years old I allowed her to begin training at the lope. Since her mother doesn't canter due to an old injury this was quite a journey for us both! Bella took it in stride and we learned to lope together. Sometimes it was a disaster! Bella was patient with me as I learned. We have grown together in our riding and are still working to fine tune things so we can be a an even better team in the future.
"Finding we didn't quite fit in at quarter horse events, I found International Quarter Pony in 2022 and began my show journey with their organization. Riding primarily western, IQPA pushed me to try new things in their shows and we have now tried English and even crossrails. We've has some ups and downs but it has been the best adventure with my little red pony." ~ Andrea Wawrowski
Congratulations, Bella and Andrea!
