The Foundation Appaloosa Horse Registry (FAHR) is dedicated to the protection, preservation, perpetuation and promotion of the true bloodlines of the Appaloosa horse. FAHR, a unique nonprofit organization, was founded by a group of dedicated Appaloosa breeders concerned with the disappearance of the 'purebred' Appaloosa. The horses registered with FAHR represent some of the purest Appaloosa horses to be found, as they must prove at least 75% Appaloosa blood within a five generation pedigree...
