I was wondering...if I pay to have a mare DNA tested with the ASCP would the registry dept. Release the results to me? I ask because I believe that I read somewhere that the AMHA would run a DNA sequence against their database and see if the horse tested had registered/ recorded parents. So I wondered if the AMHR/ASPC would do that too. I am just curious as to whether or not a small Shetland pony that I bought a while back is registered. Her owner said that she was said to be registered, but never came with her papers. It is not a big deal, as she is an AWESOME child's pony, my students love her, and that is what I bought her for. It would just be fun to see who her parents are and where she came from (if they were in fact registered). I know that I cannot register her now, as she is over three years old, and I would have no way of acquiring signatures and certificates, but I would love to know her background. I know that you do not ride the papers, so it is not an endeavor that I need to take on if it requires a ton of paperwork and a king's ransom to pay the fees, just curious really. Any info would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks
