Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I'm just a proud horse owner, all of the horses that I buy are put in my name as soon as I have the signed transfer and papers in my hand and off to AQHA they go so they will be transfer into my name  |

Sold a mare in 2009 and the papers were ready to be transferred but ownership has not changed according to APHA... It irritates me to no end! Wanted to track the mare down but I still "have" her. Grrr
She was well bred and a fantastic broodmare, too!
Go check your pasture! Sorry, just could not help the sarcasm.
Lol I wish!! For like 20 dollars you (the present owner) can have beautiful registered foals, but no. argh!! (Venting) |

| We are currently in a legal mess over non transfer of papers. One of the owners died and the horses were sold however a lot of papers have not been transferred. So on paper it looks like the spouse still owns a lot of the horses and the beneficiaries have allegedly in lawsuit that horses are being "hid"
It's a mess.
Personally, all mine are transferred. It's a cheap price to pay for peace of mind. FYI, I bought my first TB and all you have to do is sign the back of the papers. There is no requirement to send into jockey club for transfer to be complete but she has an AQHA # for breeding purpose so I did send in the change.

| I enter my horses in registered shows. I ride them in amateur classes they have to be in my name. The paint on my avatar is a world champion. I have others that are champions at big shows. I enjoy tough competition and seeing how well my horses will perform. It kind of forces you to have the horses in your name.
I went to an APHA show in Alvarado Tx. I have never seen so many team ropes in my life. I am sure their paperwork was in order. Did not know so many ropers rode paints! |

| i dont anymore ---after aqha making a mistake & putting someone elses name on my mares papers & sending them to someone else. then it took me a year to get her papers after they corrected them???
that may have been a fluke. but it was enough to scare me of doing it again.

Location: LA Lower Alabama | BamaCanChaser - 2017-06-16 9:18 AM I only buy registered horses because it is imperative for resale value. But I pretty much never have them transferred into my name, because buyers don't care. As long as you have a signed transfer from the last person on the papers, people are fine with that.
Also it makes the horse look like it has changed hands a lot. Which may hurt resale as well.

Location: Displaced Iowegian | janjan1 - 2017-06-15 10:40 PM I was checking the status of my APHA paperwork where I had to change the registration papers from stallions to geldings today and noticed that one of my colts is still in my name. i sold this colt awhile back, more than three years ago, with transfer paperwork filled out to new owner, and they have never tranferred ownership into their name. Why? They specifically wanted this black n white tobi, and registration. So why not get him in their name? Since he was a home bred, home raised, and I owned the sire and dam, he was a dandy. Perfect color, perfect blaze, perfect confirmation and a nice horse to boot. They paid a good price for him, why not get registration completed? Made me wonder How many do not? Here is your problem....you failed to transfer according to AQHA rules .....
REG124.4 Seller’s Responsibility: The owner of record at time of sale has the responsibility for completing an AQHA transfer report in its entirety and for delivery of it to AQHA.
REG124.4.1 The seller must provide on the transfer report the correct name and registration number of the horse, date of sale, name and address of buyer, and signature and address of seller. The seller shall deliver the transfer form, along with the registration certificate, to AQHA, along with any other documents required to complete the transfer of ownership. Payment of the required fee shall be a matter of private negotiation between the buyer and seller and may be paid by either of them, but such fee must accompany the transfer, with the membership status of the buyer determining the applicable transfer fee.
REG124.4.2 Auction Sale: For a horse sold through an auction, the seller may rely on the auction management to send the registration certificate, properly completed transfer report and required transfer fee to AQHA on the seller’s behalf. Ultimate responsibility for completion and delivery of the transfer report along with any other documents required to complete the transfer of ownership to the current owner, to AQHA, continues however to remain with the seller.

Mine are sent in and back within 10 days.
It is called taking care of business.
How many times have there been threads on BHW griping about how difficult AQHA is to work with?
Edited to add. If I am looking at a horse for sale and the papers are not in order, I go to the next one.
and how many grade horses that people wish they could get papers for that were probably registered to begin with but AQHA won't let them have them because someone screwed up?
THIS. Most of these grade horses have papers somewhere or were registerable but the breeders never "got around to it"

Location: Armuchee, GA, NW section of Ga | I filled out the required paperwork, signed and resigned everywhere I was to sign, dated everything too. i checked the APHA site, and it is the seller's responsibility to fill out everything, BUT the BUYERS responsibility to submit the completed transfer form from the seller along with the original registration certificate & fees. |
