Registration

• Each approved registration will receive colored and embossed papers with up to three generations (if provided), welcome packet and transfer documents.
•  IQPA recognizes the need to be able to use ponies of other breed types to help enhance the looks, size, & abilities of Quarter Ponies.  Therefore, no special approval is required if one parent is registered with an approved breed registry: IQPA, AQHA, APHA, ApHC, APPR or POA.  This gives breeders the flexibility to cross on other recognized breeds without having to register all their breeding stock with IQPA.
• NOT ELIGBLE: Gated ponies or ponies with gated parents. Ponies with less than 25% approved breed bloodlines. Ponies over 14.2 hand or 58" regardless of parents' registration.
• Non-Members add $15 to each transaction.  All funds are US Dollars.
