Grade horses are often a walking mystery. Where did they come from? What is their breeding? Have they been shown before? In what disciplines? How old are they? What is their story?? For those equestrians who have had the privilege to love and work with grade horses and ponies, the questions about their equine partners’ history may elude them.
In this episode, Regina interviews Terrie Kennedy with the Grade Horse Registry. Their website states that the Grade Horse Registry strives “...to provide a reliable and secure platform for horse owners to document their horse’s history and create a traceable lineage.”
The Grade Horse Registry, or the GHP, gives an identity to horses that otherwise do not have documentation. The GHP's vision is that all horses are recognized and appreciated for their individuality, that grade horses are afforded the same respect and opportunities as pedigreed horses, and that the contributions of grade horses are widely acknowledged and celebrated.
HIP salutes the GHP and their efforts to give ALL horses an identity!
