Well, that is what I ended up with.  My mare Rose is an unregistered 1/2 Arab.  I know who the parents are, and where she came from.  But when I contacted the registry, they have the Dam's dna on file, and I asked if I sent in a sample from Rose to match if I could get away with not have the previous owner's signatures.  Wrong.  They said, that even though I have proof to who the horse is sired/dam is, they still want the signatures of the previous owners.  And of course they are long since moved and gone.  So, I just ride her like she is.  Good Luck.

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 ...

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.
