Welcome to the Great Lakes
Buckskin Association! GLBA's purpose is to further improve the
breeding, exhibition, sale, and publicity of buckskin, dun, red dun, and grulla horses - those over 14 hands, as well as miniature horses under 38". GLBA is the Michigan Charter of the International Buckskin Horse Association (IBHA), located in Shelby, IN. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Approved in 2017: Registration of a miniature horse in IBHA no longer requires the horse to be AMHA or AMHR registered. However, if it is not registered in one of those associations, a Height Verification affidavit, signed by an AMHA or AMHR Steward or approved IBHA measuring representative (GLBA has 3 reps to do this and can be done at our shows) attesting the horse is 38" or less, will need to accompany the registration form. Note: If the animal is under 6 years old, a completed Height Verification Affidavit is needed annually prior to showing until the animal reaches six years of age. At six years of age, the current verified height will be made permanent. |
Great News! IBHA has recently approved the addition of a
Ranch Horse division and will be included in our GLBA shows.
