AQHA Greener Pastures Program

mtgirl · 05-26-2009, 07:59 PM

As I was printing out a performance summary report I saw this new program thru AQHA, called Greener Pastures. Hopefully it will work. Here is the link and a brief summary about it:

Is there an American Quarter Horse in your past or present for whom you’d like to provide a “forever” home? With the new Greener Pastures program, you’ll be able to indicate on a horse’s registration certificate that should that horse ever become unwanted, unusable or simply ready for retirement, you will – if possible – assist in finding him or her a suitable home. The program is free, completely voluntary, does not imply that a buy back or exchange of money will occur, or that a horse is guaranteed a home because sometimes situations can and do change. You can list yourself on up to five horses. If you need to list yourself on more than five horses, please contact AQHA’s customer service department at (806) 376-4811. Essentially, the Association will act as a clearinghouse by tracking Greener Pastures-enrolled horses and AQHA members who have indicated the desire to help.

I would love to sign up for that with my old gelding but i am not sure of his AQHA registration number. Is there an AQHA member on here who can look it up for me?

I signed Champ up when I signed his transfer...I think it is a great idea and Kudo's to the AQHA for implementing it...it doesn't cost any money for the horse owner...but it would have cost the AQHA money in time and resources to implement it and maintain it...a true service to the horse IMO

I hope the APHA follows suit with this as there is one guy we want to be there for if ever necessary!

How do you get a customer ID and pin ... My AQHA login stuff won't work.

LotsOfSavvy · 05-29-2009, 02:33 PM

Call them up. They mail the pin to you and the customer ID...you have to purchase a memebership.
