The American Paso Registry
American Paso is an independent registry created specifically to protect, document, and strengthen the future of the Paso horse in the United States. Registration is now open and completely free.
For too long, many Paso owners have felt that their horses, their priorities, and the ways they enjoy the breed have not been fully represented. We believe owners deserve another avenue — one that values natural gait, rideability, versatility, ethical horsemanship, and the long-term marketability of the American Paso.
This is more than a place to receive registration papers. It is a permanent, trustworthy record of horses, pedigrees, ownership, and the developing history of the American Paso.
Registration is completely free. Eligibility standards, verification procedures, correction policies, and an appeals process are published as part of the registration workflow. Not every horse listed in the American Paso Directory automatically qualifies for registry status — registration is a separate process with its own review and approval.
