Not even sure this would be something that would be appropriate as a proposal or not. I decided to bring it up though because I recently came across a mini that I really liked but that I passed on buying it because it is "unregistered". I would have been willing to pay the money to hardship the horse into AMHR but it is no longer an option since hardshipping is now limited to horses that are AMHA, ASPC or I think Falabella bloodlines that can be verified.
I am sure the horse I considered buying probably came from parents that were registered but along the way the information was lost, the dam was sold at auction when pregnant and the baby was born and sold to someone else and now is three years old with no paper trail to track anything down to even try to get papers and no other option like hardshipping into the registry (which is a height registry anyway) so there is a very nice horse out there that cannot be shown at any sanctioned shows and is not worth anything to someone that does want to have the option of showing it.
