yes, all my horses are registered with TWHBEA or RHBAA but I did not even renew my membership. I didn't renew with USIHC either. I renewed with SSHBEA because they have a strong wholesome versatility program and recognize tghe stepping pace as an official gait and I like the way they do business as a result. I have two McCurdy horses and my husband and I both keep our membership current in that registry. For one thing there's only about 600 registered McCurdys and in each newsletter they list the names of new members and accomplishments of McCurdys. A McCurdy recently won some big NATRc ride somewhere that was nice...but mainly I support the McCurdy registry simply because the Registry "motto" on their logo and letterhead says they are bred for sound natural gait... and thats nice. janice yipie tie yie yo
