A HORSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR: A study of color bias, antitrust and restraint of trade violations in the equine industry
"In 2000, Kay Floyd sued the American Quarter Horse Association, and changed not only the way the Association did business, but changed the law as it applied to voluntary associations. The court ruled that an association cannot economically discriminate against some of its members and artificially devalue the property held by those members. Subsequently, the American Quarter Horse Association has changed its own registration rules to reflect the principle behind the Floyd suit, even though the parties settled and dismissed the case. A sister equine association in Texas, however, has refused to amend its rules concerning equine registration, resulting in economic discrimination against some, but not all, of its membership. This article examines the effects of the Floyd suit on the AQHA, and projects the outcome of a similar suit against the American Paint Horse Association, should it continue its registration policies in violation of the Texas Business & Commerce Code."
APHA Solid Paint Bred infromation
"A good horse is a good horse, regardless of its color. And while color can be a major asset, a lack of color does not limit your opportunity for success with the American Paint Horse Association (APHA). Not all foals will have flashy color patterns, but APHA’s wide array of programs are open to all APHA-registered horses."

divisive issues facing the APHA today is

The Plight of the Breeding Stock Paint
"More often than Paint breeders are comfortable with, a solid color foal is born out of one or two Paint parents. Though this horse may be out of championship bloodlines and have the potential to go to the top of the breed, it is immediately labeled a Breeding Stock Paint, a title that has come to be a nasty one for me, a proud owner of a beautiful mare that no registry seems to want in the show ring."The Eastern Solid Paint Bred Council is not responsible for flase information provided in these articles.
