Re: [RC] Registration - Court Order - Shannon ChastainCharging the person who's name is still listed may be punishing the wrong party. In my horses situation away. When I bought my Arab from a co-worker she'd had him since he was 6 months old and never transfered the papers. She had tried to modify them once during the 7 years she had him so she would not have to pay the penalty for not transferring the papers within the AHA time limit. When I bought him I also worked with the breeder and she was willing to just call AHA tell them the papers had been lost and then transfered them to me. It all worked out in the end for me and my horse. Shannon On Wed, 14 Mar 2007 09:48:37 -0700, Laney Humphrey wrote Yes, I've been through it too and it is a pain. I guess we, the public, have somehow gotten the idea that registries have the additional function of keeping track of ownership in the same way that ownership of a vehicle goes along with registration. Because registries don't do that, it seems even sillier to me when owners refuse to pass along registration papers when a horse (dog, cat or whatever) is sold since registration papers are not proof of ownership. One way to encourage keeping papers with horses might be for registries to charge an annual "ownership" fee of all people listed as owners. Of course, I can't imagine how that would be collectible but that's another issue! Laney SandyDSA@xxxxxxx wrote:In a message dated 3/14/2007 9:39:05 A.M.

They recognize the "owner" of record as owner. Doesn't matter if you have a bil of sale. What a pain. Been through it. s ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
