Posted by Gail Ivey Let's not forget that Impressive lines have also been used heavily in APHA and ApHC horses. Should we reject all those breeds?

There are plenty of quality, responsible QH breeders out there.
And a QH absolutely CAN NOT have HYPP if his pedigree does not have Impressive in it anywhere.
The QH breed is still my favorite, and I would not have a problem owning a N/N Impressive bred horse, although there are other bloodlines I prefer.
I'd be interested in knowing what percentage of the QHs alive today are Impressive bred. I'd bet money it's less than 40-50%. No way would I discount an entire breed for that reason.
Also, note this rule from AQHA -
2. Additionally, Rule 227 will be amended to provide that foals of 2010 and later that are found to be HYPP (N/H) will only be eligible for registration as geldings or non- breeding mares.
