Registration numbers for the Palomino Horse Breeders of America (PHBA) have risen with the assistance of new registration guidelines. These changes in guidelines allowed for registration of any horse with a palomino body color, including those with unknown pedigrees. While this promoted registry growth, documenting the breed's orgins from those known pedigrees making up the breed's foundation is important with the introduction of unknown pedigrees.

Article Synopsis
- Insulin dysregulation (ID) is a critical aspect of equine metabolic syndrome that can occur in horses without obesity, highlighting the need for testing beyond just breed and body condition.
- A study assessed 62 non-obese stock-type horses to determine the prevalence of ID and explored the correlation between neck measurements and ID, finding only 4.8% had ID.
- The study revealed some differences in insulin and glucose levels between mares and geldings, but found only a weak relationship between neck measurements and glucose response post-insulin test, suggesting limited predictive value for neck morphology in assessing ID risk.

Periods of limited activity during semester break may reduce performance during return to ridden work. This study evaluated fitness and muscling of horses when returning to work, following a 12-week period during which horses either continued (conditioned) or discontinued (non-conditioned) ridden work. It was hypothesized that non-conditioned horses would have a lower level of fitness, resulting in higher resting and peak heart rates and lower levels of muscling.

Anise has demonstrated equine palatability but its olfactory effect is underexplored. The objective was to investigate the effect of the aroma of anise on consumptive behavior. Stock-type horses (n = 8) were used in a crossover 6-day preference test.

White spotting is an iconic feature of the American Paint Horse. The American Paint Horse Association (APHA) is dedicated to recording pedigree and performance of this stock-type breed, while preserving its distinctive coat color and conformation. Here, the depigmented proportion of the coat (% white coat) was measured using digital photograph analysis of 1195 registered American Paint Horses.
