Hi,

I'm not sure of the law since you don't say which country you live in. I think my approach at this point would be to contact a lawyer and have her/him write a letter to the person involved. If you buy a registered horse you are entitled to the papers, no matter what. At this point I'd want to see how far the person was willing to go on this point.

Have you talked with the APHA about the situation? I have a friend that adopted an abused horse and was finally able to get his papers. There were certain steps that had to be taken but the Saddlebred Association was a great help. I'm sure that it varies somewhat by organization, but it won't hurt to ask.

Yes I believe that is how it works here is the phone number: 1-877-ZERO LIT (1-887-937-6548).

I am afraid that is the only number I have. I will see if I can figure it out next week.

Hi Sandi -

I FedEx'd everything to Texas today. I'm a little worried that the writing we did on the original certificate might cause some additional heartache (i.e., they won't process the transfer). We put my new address at the bottom and there's a crossout where it says STALLION and now says GELDING.

It's going to be 3-4 weeks for them to process and I am such a worry wart. Does anyone have any comfort that even with the writing I'll still be OK with the APHA? Or any experience that I won't be OK and what to be prepared for.

Thanks,
Joni
