ARHA in the news!
The Horse Gazette
Currently open for registration is the newly incorporated American Roan Horse Association (ARHA). Recognizing roans as a distinct color breed and facilitating showing, networking, breeding, marketing, and the pleasure of roans is the focus of this association. It’s first “kick-off” Roan Show will be this year and will include a full array of classes, special meet and greet opportunities with evening get-togethers so they can hear from the members helping the association move forward to meet their expectations, and lots of prizes.
The idea for this association’s creation was a result of two women realizing that roans fit the same criteria used for Paints and Buckskins/Duns…the one parent that had to pass the genetics on to the offspring. “We are very excited to be able to offer roan horse owners their own association,” states Lori Watkins, partner with LeAnn Barnes, in the leadership of ARHA. “We offer a central website for all roan owners, breeders, and marketers and have had an amazing response already. Our association is a secondary registration for all horses and targets Quarter, Paint, Appaloosa, and Buckskin horses.”
As with any offspring that must have at least one parent exhibiting color characteristics in order to have their own, a horse that does not exhibit the characteristics of roaning will not pass along the gene, hence there will be no “breeding stock” registration certificates issued. Roan, caused by the roan gene, (R), cannot appear in offspring of two non-roan parents, even if they have roan ancestors. The three primary base colors include red (chestnut “e” gene), lack (“E” gene), and bay (Black “E” gene) +Agouti (“A” gene) which when paired with the roan gene result in the red or strawberry, blue and bay roans respectively.
Partner LeAnn Barnes stated that she believes “roan is the most beautiful color horse there is, and now has an association to promote, recognize, and organize pedigree and performance records on them.” LeAnn is pleased to announce that through a process of online bidding and mailed in bids, the #1 horse registration was awarded to TJ Corgill of Pipe Creek, Texas and her roan stallion, “Face It Im Good.”
