            About AHHA and it’s Policies.

            We are preservation oriented.  We will never knowingly registered a non foundation bred horse by our standards.  If that would happen that horse would be removed.

            We intend to provide modern up to date services for our members, so that they may make breeding and purchasing decisions with the latest pedigree information.

            We actively pursue scientific and historical research on our horses.

            We require what no other 'mustang' registry does.  Parentage testing, the results will be stored and the genetic material available for research.

            We protect both our members, new horse owners and breeders by requiring parentage information.  We want the horse that you purchased to be the horse you have.

            We are also promotion oriented.  We intend to promote the horses.  Sponsor events and already have an extreme horse race events in the works for 2010.

            We are a dynamic organization run by the members committee that is open to our members wishes.  Communication is paramount.  If you have a question we will endeavor to have an answer.

            we are the first breed organization for Spanish Mustangs to actively support it's breed standard by having breeding stock evaluations. Which ensures continuing breed standard and type for our horses.

            Membership

            Memberships renew annually on January 1 of the new year.  Those that  join as new members will have a prorated membership to bring them up to the universal anniversary date. ( It makes the paperwork easier thank you.)

            DNA Testing

            The founders of the American Heritage Horse Association feels that this action provided added security for the horses in today’s world.  The benefits are many, not forgetting the possible scientific study possibilities.

            By year 3 of the program all breeding animals will be have their DNA logged.  All young stock will be parentage tested the first year of the program.  This encourages the growth of the program and correct verification.
