Do NOT degrade our Arabian and Half-Arabian shows and owners by allowing this ruling stand. I pay show fees to compete with registered Arabian and Half-Arabian horses - not all breed shows. Refund my money, or stand by your rules!!!
I brlirvr thst NON arabian horses that were registered falsely should NOT keep any AHA titles of any kind! To me that is insulting and denigrating to the Arabian breed and the people who breed them.The ttles were procured under FALSE PRETENSES!

Quarter horses cannot be allowed to hold half Arabian titles. There are other paths for redress on the part of the innocent later owners. Ridiculous to let this stand.

The unaware parties probably have a legal cause of action against the people who sold them these horses. That is where responsibility lies. It isn't the responsibility of AHA to soothe their hurt feelings by letting them keep trophies. They need to go after the people who cheated them by selling them a falsely registered horse.

It is appalling that you would even consider allowing a non-Arabian to retain an Arabian title.

No doubt the quarterhorse is a lovely animal- but the prize belongs to an Arabian or Half-Arabian animal.

I hope AHA rethinks their decision and revokes the fraudulently won titles.

this is not right and hurts the rest of us breeding full and half Arabs. I am a small breeder and am sick and tired of the "big" guys messing things up and then not paying the price for it. It's time AHA stepped up and put their bylaws in effect and not just pick and choose who they do and don't punish. If that is going to be the case, then why are there rules in the first place!

Haven't you damaged the breed enough by allowing all of the abuse by halter trainers? And further abuse in the barns you continue to turn a blind eye to? You are responsible to uphold the integrity of our breed, and you have failed thus miserably. You should be ASHAMED of this nonsense! Do the right thing ... For once.

As a Life Member of the Arabian Horse Association I demand that the Board and Executive committee take action on this crime and make a public announcement that fraud will not be tolerated at our horse shows or in our breed registries. Return the awards to the rightful winners and redistribute prize money. This entire series of events should be turned over the governing authorities and criminal investigations should be pursued. Our job as an association is to protect the breed and it's integity and to provide a level playing field for all members. We cannot tolerate an abuse of the system and our rules.

Quarter Horses should not have Arabian or Half Arabian winnings as they were never eligible to be in the class. It is the owner's responsibility to take legal action against the person who sold them a horse with false papers. AHA had an obligation to its members to step the titles of horses whose papers were falsified.

Wth!!!!!! Total bs for those that so follow the rules and guidelines. These shows are not cheap either. Last I knew was fraud was a criminal offense and should be handled as such.
