Location: Texas | Lets say you are looking to buy a daughter of a top 10 barrel racing sire. Would you expect to pay the same for an Appendix versus regular registered? |

| Yes. TB are just as good as QH and mixed is the same. I have a QH and an Appendix. Both are great horses. |

| I am NOT a TB person.. so I wouldn't. Then again I don't know much about breeding, but I know what I like. . And its not a Tb, for any amount I would pass. |

Just becuase they're appendix doesn't mean they are a daughter of a TB. I have an appendix mare and the TB isn't even on her papers. |

My best mare has appendix papers.

And I would def expect to pay the same amount. You can still breed her to a QH and the baby would have appendix papers.

| I really don't understand the aversion to appendix papers. Had some people really interested in a gelding I have...liked his looks and breeding, but it was a no-go because he is appendix...what difference would it make, especially on a gelding? But it's their money to spend how they wish.... |

Location: Memphis, TN | Here is my registered appendix mare http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/triple+wise+invester
Her papers make me laugh with the combo of her sire and dam. I'm not sure where they were going with that cross. My point is she isn't what most people think when they hear appendix. I would look at the pedigree good but yes I would expect to pay the same specifically if the dam side is strong (assuming the dam is the reason for appendix in this scenario). |

Location: Southeastern Idaho | My dad bought a yearling out of the Reno Snaffle Bit sale that had apendix papers. Surprised me when I saw that. She was by Acres of Red (Bob Acre Doc) and out of a daughter of Smart Little Lena...the dam had TH way back off the papers. Super nice TINY mare that is now a jam up heel, calf and breakaway horse in Arizona. You sure couldn't buy her now. |

Location: Alabama | My best mare is appendix & I would price her as I would any registered horse. I do hope to get her regular papers in the future. If that works out, her price would go up because she has points on her papers, not because of the type of papers. Papers on a gelding do not hold weight with me past the point of knowing the breeding, because there is no benefit down the road (i.e. breeding). |

| If I was looking at an unproven appendix filly, I would not pay the same as if the filly was aqha. The reason being where I live to get aqha points is difficult, I don't race horses so to get the si would not happen, and if I want to breed it reduces my options of breeding, and reduces the salability if her foals.
If I was looking at appendix verses aqha if they had similar bloodlines both proven money earners, I would choose the aqha even if I had to spend a little more money as the foals value would be more with aqha papers.
If I was looking at a proven money earning appendix gelding I would pay the same as the papers don't mean anything. |

| Appendix Quarter Horses can become a Registered Quarter horse if they earn their ROM through AQHA I believe.
Most of the great barrel horses are a good percentage of Thoroughbred. I guess I would take into consideration their bone structure as some Thoroughbreds are SO thin boned.
I own an appendix and love him. Most of his siblings are fairly short and small. But he is 16.1h and thick. He can get low and turn tight. |
