Foundation Research
All NFQHA Foundation Quarter Horse research is conducted by computer to avoid errors, and based on the latest pedigree information available from AQHA. Our current database has 300,000 horses with more added each week.

All horses found to carry 80% or more Quarter Horse blood (and meet all other NFQHA breed certification criteria), are Certified as National Foundation Quarter Horses; and are issued a Foundation Certificate along with a Blood Analysis Fact Sheet showing all Thoroughbreds found in the pedigree; and are eligible to compete in NFQHA events.

In addition to Foundation Quarter Horse Certification NFQHA offers, lifetime NFQHA show results, NFQHA Sire Get Records, pedigrees. See example of pedigree and NFQHA lifetime show records.
