Re: [RC] Registration - court order mess. - SandyDSA
More often than not, getting a horse without papers is the result of
irresponsible breeding, selling whatever. So often I have seen people breed far
more babies than they ought, and then cannot afford to or just plain are too
lazy to get their paperwork in order. So...when the time come sand they HAVE to
unload the young horses especially, or even horses they bought and never
transferred, they think it is fair to just dump them sans papers for a cheaper
price. In those cases, or auction rescues, or that sort of thinking, I have NO
problem with them trying to get the papers. There are at least two get of our
stallion that someone screwed by not getting paper work done - and I would sign
whatever I needed to in a HEART BEAT if it meant that the new owners would
actually DO something with them - for free. People who refuse to sign the papers
I think are just selfish in these instances. Since we really cannot control what
happens to our horses once sold, it seems to me that we should be willing to
make things right with their heritage when this situation presents itself.
Conversely, someone who knowingly chooses to buy a horse with no papers
from someone who withheld them for a good reason - perhaps a mare who has no
business being re-bred - has no entitlement to the papers. I think that
information is noted in the sales receipt when this is the case. But simply not
HAVIN Gthe papers because someone was lazy or stupid is another story.
