[RC] Advise to Mickey: - Lucie HessMickey my advise is what you paid for it.. Nothing! To me other people's opinions and advise are to be viewed as shoes, sometimes the shoes fit you, sometimes they don't. So remember that while you are reading this email. Regarding Registration, if the horse does not have any Paint coloration or enough white to be considered a Paint, she can only be registered as "breeding stock". I'm not sure if paint breeding stock papers makes you eligible for any Paint Horse association awards, which is why lot's of people want their horses registered. (But check with the paint horse association) Also, some people won't gamble on a breeding stock mare to use for breeding, they are afraid the color gene won't show up.Therefore a horse with breeding stock papers is not as valuable as the regular papers. I know about these things as I have Appaloosas and we have a similar program for "non-colored horses" (well, we did, they keep tweaking it every year or so) Also, I have dealt with trying to get a horse's registration papers moved from a deceased person's name to a new owner. It was not pretty. The heirs had to sign off on the papers and it was the last thing they wanted to even deal with. And this horse was registered, not just "able to be registered". If it was me, and I wanted to buy a registered horse, IE this filly, then tell the seller to register it as part of the deal and don't take possession until the horse's paperwork is complete and send in.(YOU KEEP A COPY) Again, to register a young horse, you will need a stallion report and some other paperwork to be filled out on the sire and the dam. Well, at least the app club wants that. And those pieces of paper have to be signed by the owner of the mare and sire at the time of breeding or foaling.. I can't remember which. One more thing.. since the owner died and there is a trust/ estate, do you know that the trainer selling these horses even is legally able to do such? There has to be someone who is executor of the estate/trust, who makes those decisions. All just things for you to think about. Personally, if it was me.. with all you have described, I'd keep my 1500.00 and look for a horse without legal/registration issues and that is ready to ride. Unless, you are very much in love with this horse and you just gotta have her.. Then OK! go for it. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Sponsored Link Talk more and pay less.
