Citaat:King was foaled eight years prior to AQHA’s creation, which makes King 100% foundation Quarter Horse.
Citaat:The Foundation Quarter Horse is, and was, the original great American Ranch Horse. Bob Denhardt on the founding of AQHA in 1940 . . ."We were looking for horses like Little Joe and Joe Moore, Ballymooney and Red Dog, Guinea Pig and Possum, Zantanon and King, Jack McCue and Bullet. They weren’t Thoroughbreds . . .and they didn’t look like Thoroughbreds. . . All were exceptionally well muscled, and it was probably this feature that first caught your eye.. . . these features were clearly characteristic of a breed. They were as unique in their conformation as they were in their ability to work cattle!"
Citaat:All registered American Quarter Horses born in 1940 or before, are 100% Foundation. All "unknowns" or registered horses of breeds other than Thoroughbred that appear in an AQHA registered Quarters Pedigree are considered 100% Foundation. The 100% foundation allocation includes old NQHBA horses as well, though we rarely run across them.
Citaat:If a Thoroughbred appears in your horse’s pedigree, that Thoroughbred’s foaling date does not matter. If he shows up as a sire or dam of a registered American Quarter Horse born in 1941 or later, that Thoroughbred will bring down that horse’s Foundation percentage.
