ABOUT THE I.P.W.H.R.

The IPWHR is a non-profit registry dedicated to the promotion of the   Pleasure Walking Horse breed on an international level. This registry is for   Walking Horses and their owners who show them soundly and humanely, use them   for trail rides and/or pleasure and breed them for the purpose of producing a   CORRECTLY GAITED example of the breed and one that does not have to be   manipulated (physically or chemically) into an exaggerated and false gait.
 

  The IPWHR is a BREED Registry that will accept the TWHBEA (Tennessee Walking   Horse Breeders' and Exhibitors' Association) and/or CRTWH (Canadian Registry   of Tennessee Walking Horse) papers and DNA testing and/or bloodtyping of any   registered Walking Horse. It will provide a Certificate of Registration for   Walking Horses, access to bloodtyping and/or DNA testing, and the   registration of their offspring. It will record the transfer of ownership on   these horses. And for a limited period of time, it will grandfather in those   Walking Horses that missed the TWHBEA bloodtyping deadline.
 

  The IPWHR will be a long-needed SERVICE ORGANIZATION!! You will pay ONLY for   the services rendered to you! (IPWHR can and will be run more cheaply than   others because there will be no debts of others to pay, no agendas to pursue   but the horse!) The IPWHR is not a Member Organization. There are no   "human" members...therefore no DUES! The only members are the   HORSES!....through registration and transfer, birth and bloodtyping and/or   DNA testing and, for a limited period of time, GRANDFATHERING, for those who   missed out on the bloodtyping in the TWHBEA through lack of knowledge. There   is both an Active BOD and an Advisory BOD; and area representatives to   provide services to those who wish to register their horses and preserve the   bloodlines.
 

  The IPWHR is a SOUND Registry that will not accept the application for   registration of a padded (Big Lick) horse or one who is shown in a padded   (Big Lick) class and will discipline those who violate the HPA. The owner of   any IPWHR registered horse which is exhibited in padded-up (Big Lick) classes   or which receives an "upheld" ticket for an HPA violation from a   VMO or DQP for scar rule, unilateral soring or foreign substance will have   the right to conduct business with IPWHR, as well as all their horses'   registration status, suspended for a period of one year from the time of   acceptance or conviction. (Conducting business meaning but not limited to:   registration of foals, transfer of ownership, filing of stud reports, etc.)   Second: the owner of any IPWHR registered horse which receives an   "upheld" ticket for an HPA violation from a VMO or DQP for   bilateral soring, pressure shoeing or repeated violations will have the right   to do business with IPWHR, as well as their all horses' registration status,   revoked for life from the time of acceptance or conviction. The only   exception to that penalty would be that the violator would have the right to   transfer ownership of that IPWHR registered horse to a new, non-related,   owner of record. The new, non-related, owner of record can then reinstate the   status of registration of that horse upon transferring the horse into his own   name.
 

  The IPWHR is a Registry for those who SHOW SOUND. IPWHR has received the   approval of Show Associations such as: FOSH, UPPWHA, WCW and NPWHA (with more   to come!) and sound HIO's such as the HPC and HIT. Results recorded by the   show management and supplied to IPWHR at the end of the showing season will   be recorded with the horse's show record. Recognition by AHSA will give   owners even more opportunities to show sound and clean!
 

  Grace Larson (owner of the Part Walking Horse Registry) will appendix her   Registry to the IPWHR so that the horses in that Registry can ALSO be shown   where the Show Management and HIO accepts the IPWHR in its classes for the   Walking Horse!
 

  Spotted horses that are registered with the ASHA (American Spotted Horse   Association), a sound, clean Registry for Spotted Horses, and are also   registered TWH or have TWH registered parents, can be registered with IPWHR   and also shown in these shows.
 

  CRTWH (Canadian Registry of Tennessee Walking Horse) registered walking   horses are also invited and welcome to register as well as those from many   other registries that are also registered TWH or have TWH registered parents.
 

  Every Organization needs a "voice" and Angela Neilson owner and   publisher of Steppin' Out has agreed to be the "voice" for this new   Registry. There will be discounted subscription rates available to those   registering with IPWHR. We hope to establish a symbiotic relationship with   Steppin' Out so that the owners of the sound horses registered with IPWHR   will have access to, and be able to contribute to the information in this   publication and also continue to advertise their horses and businesses there.
 

  Ultimately our goal for those who show is the desire to win the best of all -   THE PLEASURE WALKING HORSE GRAND CHAMPIONSHIPS! IPWHR horses will be accepted   by FOSH for entry in this show held in Colorado   in September 2000. These are the horses that will represent THE BEST OF THE   BREED! These horses are our future and the future of a breed that left to   it's own devices in the "status quo" will lose ALL that these   wonderful horses were bred to represent!
 

  The IPWHR is not just another way to go or another way to fight soring! It is   a much needed Registry for the ENTIRE BREED, regardless of use!
