[RC] Registration - court order mess... - Kari Hanes

I'm hoping someone here can help with this.

First a little background on the situation...We bought a mare at an auction without papers a few years ago. When we got her home we realized she was tatooed with her registration number and is a retired arab race horse. When we started digging into this we found out the previous owner was ordered to disperse his herd by the humane society in his county due to animal cruelty, etc. We finally tracked down the owner and he was not helpful at all. I asked him to name a price for her papers and he flat out refused for any amount of money. So we turned to the registry for help. We were told we could get a court order ...

"The court order must be issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction.  Examples of orders may be a Declaratory Judgment, Findings of
Fact and Conclusions of Law, or simply an Order Awarding Title.  The order
must clearly state that you have legal title to the horse."

I've been in touch with our county court system and they claim they can't do any of this without a lawyer filing a court case. Mr. Benedict at the registry said I should be able to go to my county court house and file for an order without hiring an attorney. Does anyone have any knowledge of how this is done? I've been dealing with this for almost two years and am loosing patience. This is an extremely nice mare, pure Polish, Pepton daughter. It seems everywhere I turn I get shot down and even more confused as to what I'm supposed to do next. We would like to breed her for endurance prospects but don't want to end up with an unregisterable or half arab foal when we know it's purebred.

Thanks
