I think it is against the FEI rules to have a horse registered in 2 registries. There may be a corresponding rule with the USEQ, too. I will try to check this.

Hmmm. I've never heard that. I'm sure that there are a number of stllions out there competing at the FEI level who have approval (and thus papers) with more than one organization. Perhaps you can only count points with one registry - in the case of Christina's stallion or my gelding (both have the same kind of papers in the same registries) you could declare officially either as a Trak, or as a 1/2 Arab, but not both.
I absolutely belive in getting horse registered pretty much anywhere he's eligible, especially when selling stock. You really never know what sport or circuit a horse may end up in, and so you're giving youself the broadest customer base with increased documentation of your horse. My mare is PSB with the ATA and has her purebred Arab papers. The gelding is registered as a purebred Trak and as a 1/2 Arab. Both are lifetime registered with what used to be AHSA. I personally like the idea of having a horse that is eligible for the Trak futurity, but could also go to the Arab Sport Horse Nationals - both of which will be targets with my next Arab/Trak baby.

I've made a few inquiries, but haven't heard back yet.
Also, I know that for the stallions that are approved for various registries, you have to request a breeding certificate specific to the registry with which you plan to register the resulting foal. I think the stallion owner can only issue one certificate for a successful breeding. Since the breeding certificate is specific to a registry, I don't think it can be used to register a foal with another registry. I do know that I have been asked the "which registry" question by stallion owners and it is also in the breeding contract.
Can a dual (or more) registered horse, for example, compete for year-end awards with the USAEQ, USDF, etc., for more than one breed association? I think you have to specify which ONE association anymore. I've got a question about this out there in cyberworld at this time, too.

The World Breeding Federation has been trying for a few years to stop double registrations in associations that has memberships with them, which is basically almost every recognized Warmblood Breed organization. This does not include AWS and AWA. Numerous partbred Trakehners and some purebreds are registered with two or more associations. USDF and other governing bodies are now requiring owners to choose which "breed" registery they wish to have their horse recognized under, in order to eliminate eligiblity for duel awards.

Double registration isn't the same as approval. The ISR has a policy that horses are NOT ALLOWED to be double registered. I'm not sure how they enforce it, but that's the rule.

I have a 1/2 Trak, 1/2 Polish Arab stallion who I would have loved to register with ATA, but ended up registering AWS. I am also waiting for his AHA papers to come through. He is going to be breeding Polish mares next year, and I would like some advice on which organization of the three I should give priority to.
Note: This is my first time owning a breeding stallion

My experience is registering horses is like voting in south Texas, do it early & often.
My mare is registered AHA/Half-Arab, but I waited to pursue registration with ATA (actually I didn't realize I needed to get her in the preliminary book to be eligible for inspection for the main book). All associations charge a good deal more if you wait a year or two.
Half-Arab sport horses are a big deal now, great breed shows, so your horse's value could go way up if you register with that association. BTW, beautiful horse.
Blessings,

I thought voting "early and often" was a Chicago thing . . . .

) is supposed to eliminate the duplicate numbers for identifying a horse. 
Sorry got a little carried away there.
