ATTENTION PAINT, PINTO & APPALOOSAS, your equine may now qualify for the ABRA Buckskin Bred Program’s new rules.
How do you know if your paint, appaloosa, pinto-patterned horse qualifies?
In 2025, the American Buckskin Registry Association expanded the Buckskin Bred Program to include non-ABRA colored equines that have an ABRA-colored equine ancestor within four (4) generations of their pedigree.
Additionally, Paint, Pinto, and Appaloosa patterned horses that have an ABRA base-coat color (buckskin, dun, red dun, grulla, and perlino dun) may now be registered into the ABRA Buckskin Bred Program also.
This means your paint, pinto, appaloosa, etc., may be eligible to register and show at the 2025 ABRA World Championships in BBP classes as well as any of the Futurities and Ranch Challenge, which are already open to any color/age/breed.
Check your horse’s pedigree on allbreedpedigree.com and look for a dun, buckskin, red dun, grulla, or perlino dun dam or sire for a chance to become a part of the American Buckskin Registry and compete for regional and national awards, look for a Charter Club in your area on americanbuckskin.com and attend local events.
If you own offspring from one of the following sires that carry at least one colored parent (whose base color is dun, buckskin, red dun, grulla, and perlino dun) from either sire or dam lineage up to four generations back, then your horse is now eligible to register and show in the ABRA Buckskin Bred Program with this new rule.
