I was sent an e-mail containing a letter to AARP written by Cyndy Miller from Miller Farms Equine Transport. It was a very well written letter that you can find posted here at snopes.com.
I've taken one liberty and changed where she put AARP with ApHC.
While we have proudly maintained our membership for several years and have long admired the ApHC goals and principles, regrettably, we can no longer endorse it's abdication of our values. Your letter specifically stated that we can count on ApHC to speak up for our rights, yet the voice we hear is not ours. Your offer of being kept up to date on important issues through DIVIDED WE FAIL presents neither an impartial view nor the one we have come to embrace. We do believe that when two parties agree all the time on everything presented to them, one is probably not necessary. But, when the opinions and long term goals are diametrically opposed, the divorce is imminent. This is the philosophy which spawned our 200 years of government.
Well written, interesting that the "supporters " don't appear to want it either

right on! As a breeder of ApHC for 40 years the management is on the way to disolving the register. Everytime they make changes it drops the number of mares we breed by 20%

Was the registry not formed to enhance the breed,to protect its genetics, keep the appy from becoming a colour breed. The appy is a unique breed. It's history is second to none. Let's keep what lead we appy lovers/breeders to the appaloosa in the first place. Let's not let it come to where any flea bitten, oddly bred old nag with a spot be mistaken for a true appaloosa.
