The AMHA registry books were closed in 1948. Since that time, there has been alleged illegal breeding of outside blood which is ruining the Morgan horse breed. This petition is to request that AMHA DNA-test all new foals, or babies, back to the date that the registry books were closed in 1948, and to register them properly into a half or pure registry. This can be done by testing new foals back to the date that the AMHA registry books were closed in 1948.
Why is this important?
The American Morgan Horse Association since 1948 has required two registered Morgan horse parents to produce a registered Morgan foal, or baby. Court cases indicate illegal breeding has been going on. We want to require the AMHA to DNA-test all new foals (babies) back to the date that the registry books were closed in 1948, and to register all from this point forth, properly, into a half or pure registry.
