Located in gorgeous Wallowa County, Oregon, NFQHA was formed in 1995
and is a full service horse breed association dedicated to preserving and
promoting the National Foundation Quarter Horse, while working to retain
the original Quarter Horse breed characteristics as described by AQHA founder, Robert Denhardt.
As of July 1st, 2007 NFQHA has received 30,345 Research / Certification applications and has 12,424 household memberships. (One membership
covers all family members at the same address). NFQHA has members in all 50 states plus 28 foreign countries.
National Foundation Quarter Horses were originally known as ‘Bulldogs’ or 'Steeldusts'. These horses were famous for intelligence, kind, willing, trainable dispositions, good bone and foot, extreme hardiness, and natural cow sense - all attributes conducive to Versatility.
Horses registered with AQHA that carry a minimum of 80% Quarter Horse blood, and meet all other NFQHA requirements, are eligible for National Foundation Quarter Horse Certification. We do the research for you! We research back 11 generations and provide you with a list of every registered TB found.
When your horse is Certified with NFQHA he has a genuine claim to the
coveted National Foundation Quarter Horse title, with written proof of his
actual National Foundation Quarter Horse blood percentage. See examples of NFQHA Foundation Certificate and Blood Analysis Fact Sheet.
