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, AQPA, NQPA, 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-Participants add $15 to each transaction. All funds are US Dollars.
