hello,
Bummer! I had a coggin's done on Star this year. I was really surprised
when it came back! According to the paper he was a 13 yo, bay, Morgan with
no registration papers by the generic name of Star. According to his
papers, he is a 15 yo, chestnut Morgan named Quail Meadow Star. If anyone
really checked that coggin's, I would would have been fined on the spot and
kicked off the grounds for having the wrong horse. That would have really
burned me - I had the right test done and paid good money for it. The
worst of it was, I don't think it could have been corrected without sending
in more blood, the ODA doesn't hand out negative forms.
Ah well, no one cares I am sure, but make sure your vet has the proper,
current info on your horse, don't rely on back records at his office.
Write it down and put it with the test tube. Fortunately, I only needed
them for one event - my trailer is illegal in most states (grandfathered in
OH, thank goodness), so we're kinda stuck in-state.

isn't old enough to start lying about his age)
