He graced the pages of the Annual from time to time. Very sad to hear he has gone. Thoughts are with all who loved him.

In Australia, we are now requiring a 7 panel test for our breeding quarter horses going forward.

This test covered GBED, HYPP, PSSM, MH, HERDA, MYHM & OLWS

- could it soon be upgraded to 8?

Well, it took 21 years for me to make this mistake. Just when you think everything that could go wrong has gone wrong - think again!

Somehow while changing out pages and updating files before going to print I have doubled up on one ad (congrats KND Show Horses PL!) and in doing so I missed the Australian Appaloosa Association Ltd ad in this year's edition.

Here is it below, and please accept my most humblest apologies to the AAA and its membership.
