I suspect it all depends on the agreement at the time of the sell and 
the state. If the horse was sold as a registered horse - then the papers 
would normally have to accompany the horse. Otherwise it would not be a 
registered horse. If it were sold with the understanding that the buyer 
would not transfer the papers, it would have to be sold with the buyer's 
full understanding.

If the owner understood that it was being sold without papers at the 
time of purchase I suspect they are out of luck. If this was not clear 
to the owner at time of purchase and the owner was led to believe they 
were buying a registered horse - then they should be able to get the 
papers. It just all depends. This is the reason all details of any sale 
should be in writing and agreed to by all parties before the sale.

The only option may be to get a lawyer involved to figure out the legal 
standings in the state of interest. If a person is entitled to the 
papers then usually a letter from a lawyer would shake them loose.
