Hello everyone, I am looking for some information on my mare's sire. I have hit a dead end in my research but I m persistent in my search to at least get some answers. The sire's name is Lusts Imperial Onyx. I was gifted this mare by a friend who got her from the breeder. I do not doubt that he is the sire, as she looks just like him and I am told that he was the only sire standing at that farm for some time. I was told my mare was registered, but papers were lost. With the assistance of all of the helpful people here I have come to the conclusion that she must not have papers, as the only filly registered by this stud that remotely matches her markings is way to old to be her. So I started wondering....if the sire was DNA tested, then could I paper her with the National Sport Performance Pony registry? If he is not DNA tested then registering her is hopeless right? I have no way of knowing who the dam is, but I am almost positive that this is her sire. My mare is about 17, and I know that a lot of Shetlands are registered young and not DNA tested, but I am hoping that maybe he was. I do not even know if he is still alive. My mare's breeder is Robert and Barbara Commerford and I am told the sire's barn name was "Spider", (just incase anyone may be familiar with this farm) Attached is a pic of me and the mare who's identity is unknown. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much.
