Welcome to The American Quarter Horse Registry (AqHR)

Located in Stephenville, Texas, we offer affordable and guaranteed registration options for Quarter Horses and their crosses.

** Please note that we are NOT The American Quarter Horse ASSOCIATION. If you have a horse eligible for AQHA, you would have received a semi pre-filled breeders certificate proceeding the sire owners submission of an Annual Stallion Breeding Report. >>Their contact info can be found on their website<<

We are the ALTERNATIVE to AQHA or APHA: when the horse doesn't qualify, there's missing reports or parent DNA, Or the fees are just too high.
