registration question

[longhorngal]

Hi all,

Is it possible to register a horse with AMHA if you only have copies of the sire and dam's papers? I'm thinking it's probably not possible but thought I'd ask just to make sure. There's a little gelding I was thinking of going to look at but that's all she's got as far as paperwork on him.

Thanks

You're right. Not possible. To register the little guy, you need a registry application form with signatures from the both the sire's and the dam's owners. And if the gelding is over 6 months, he's going to have to be DNA-ed and Parent-qualified. Plus, pictures will have to accompany the application.

Also, make sure that both parents are registered with AMHA before even thinking of pursueing this.

That is extremely risky and a lot of footwork to try to hope to get him registered. Buy the horse as if it is unregistered, and if you can get anything to work out it'd be a miracle.

There are plenty of geldings out there that are properly registered with papers in order, if having a registered horse is important to you.

Good luck!

Thanks,

I figured that was the case but just double checking....
