I bought a mini filly that was advertised as reg AMHA filly.
I bought her for myself AS A PET NOT TO BREED but she was sold to
me as a registered broodmare prospect. When I picked her up I was
told that she had sent in for her papers and that she would forward them
to me as soon as she got them. Months went by and I never heard from
her. In the meantime we discovered the filly has many dwarf characteristics
and is way to small to ever breed anyway and she has a breathing problem.
The breeder knew about her dwarf charachteristics and I ASSUMED that the
papers would have been canceled due to this fact so I never persued trying
to get her registration papers.
The other day I was at a friends that is a member of AMHA and AMHR and she
out of curiosity started searching around on the registry sites when I told her
about the lady saying she sent in her papers. Well we found her papers.
She is not registered with AMHA as advertised in fact she is registered with
AMHR. I know for 100% that the papers we saw are my fillies papers.
The breeder oddly enough had emailed me the other day out of the blue and
said she could offer me a great price on a package deal of mini's. I politley said
thank you but I am not in the market for more and oh by the way did my fillies papers
ever come in and GUESS WHAT ... All of a sudden she is not answering her emails.
I did not tell her that I saw her papers on the internet site, I was looking to see
how honest she would be with me but apparently avoidance is her choice of action.
THIS FILLY WAS NOT SOLD AS PET QUALITY .. SHE WAS ADVERTISED AS REGISTERED
BROODMARE PROSPECT .. I paid a lot of money for her and have learned my lesson on
buying from begining breeders. I dont care so much about the fact that I dont have
her papers as she is my PET and I will NEVER breed her BUT the fact is the breeder
has registration papers for her and ignores me when I ask for them. I feel they are
rightfully mine as I paid for a registered filly NOT pet quality .. in FACT as far as I am concerned because of her dwarf characteristics she should not even have papers BUT she does.
What would you do in a case like this ? Should I contact AMHR and ask them to revoke
the papers as she is a dwarf or ???? Can I even do that as she is listed as the owner of MY filly on the papers and she has never given me transfer papers.
I am not a breeder, my horses are for my pleasure only and for those of you that might be wondering this is not the mare that may be in foal, this is my one year old filly that I am reffering to.
