Double Registered??

I have a mare that is registered as a paint, but she dosent look like one. Her mom was a quarter horse, and her dad was a paint. I was wondering if I could be able to double register her as a quarter horse as well.

Both parents have to be registered with AQHA for the resulting foal to be registered with AQHA.

Im guessing she is registered as a breeding stock paint. Not eligable for AQHA as started; they need to be purebred.
I have three Arabians mares pending their pinto registration. I can't think if there is anything she may fit into.

Your mare is 75% QH. I looked her up on allbreedpedigree. Her sire can't be double registered as AQHA because he's a tobiano. Tobiano doesn't exist in Quarter Horses; however, all of the "overo" genes do, hence double registration.

Double registration comes from when the AQHA had their white rule that banished all horses with what they considered "excessive white" to the APHA. However, the APHA changed their mind after a while and said that at least one parent had to be APHA, but still allows outcrossing to TB and QH. At that point, the AQHA allowed the horses that are actually AQHA horses registered as APHA to go back and be registered as QHs.

However, some Paints either don't inherit a white gene from their parents or just don't express it enough to receive full papers and are registered as Solid Paint-Breds.

Thanks that really helped. It was more of a question, of if it could be possible if anything. Thanks again!!

With the tobiano, no, her sire couldn't be double registered, so she can't either.

Im wondering what makes her 75% Quarter Horse?

Watch Me Reign Paint

Her dam is AQHA and her sire's dam is AQHA. 3/4th = 75%. I don't know just by glancing what her Foundation QH percentage is, but I could figure that out tomorrow if you'd like.

ETA: Actually, glancing again, she is actually 87.5% if the information on Allbreed is correct because her sire's sire is half QH.

It seems silly to me that a horse that is 87.5% AQHA and 12.5% very-closely-related-to-AQHA (aka Paint) couldn't be registered AQHA. Too bad it's not up to me

Like I said on the other thread, it is because tobiano never was and never will be acceptable in the AQHA.
