Colorado Rangerbreds/Lost Rangerbreds
The 20 NR 'Lost' Rangerbreds listed in the first CRHA Studbook.

A little bit of background on lost Rangerbreds written by Sherry Byrd, Rangerbred Researcher.
Many early Rangerbreds were sold throughout the U.S., only to become "lost". New owners maynot have been interested in registration papers, or in the CRHA registry, and neglected the papers and their importance.
Also, for many years CRHA had a limited membership, that allowed only so many members in the organization. Often a new CRHA horse owner could not becoma a member of CRHA, and felt that the CRHA papers with his/her new horse had no use.
Prior to the formation of the ApHC in 1938, registered CRHA horses were being sold throughout the U.S. Of course there were the unregistered ones as well. There are records of sales prior to 1938 to KY, TX, NM, WYO, ID, ORE, NEB, ND, OK, ILL, AZ and MO by King K Parsons. Parsons also made sales to Canada, and claims to have sold horses to Mexico. Of course not all of Parsons' sales were recorded, and many of those horses and pedigrees became lost after the sales. Some may well have been sold without being registered (see list below), and some were sold as registered but were not CRHA bred (Barrendo Red).
In the early years of the ApHC, CRHA records also show sales of KKP Rangerbreds to MT, NEV, NC, UT, IN, ORE, KAN, as well as WYO, COL, NEB, TX, ND.
During the early years of the growing ApHC, western ranches often sold truckloads of horses from their range throughout the country, often Appaloosas were among the loads. Many of the early ApHC breeders east of the Mississippi got their start with Appaloosas from a 'truckload sale'. A.L. Stump was one of those. Bud Drape, Appaloosa and POA breeder got his leopard stallion Dude Dandy Sr from a 'truckload sale'. There were at least 2 truckloads of horses that went to CAL, according to the Knisleys.
When the ApHC tried to absorb the CRHA horses, as they felt CRHA was a threat to the growing ApHC, and failed, the ApHC then started weeding out the CRHA horses in applicant's pedigrees. The ApHC refused to acknowledge CRHA registrations in the pedigrees, and would list the horses as being "unregistered, therefore losing the CRHA connection and making the horse(s) in question 'grades' in the ApHC records. Some horses had their names changed in order to get ApHC papers.Sometimes foaling dates were changed in order to help disguise a CRHA horse for ApHC registration.
Below is the list of unregistered CRHA horses that was published in the 1st Rangerbred Stud Book.
