Unpapered horses = mexico bound meat truck.
I have sent a few that had papers---and well bred at that. Guess papers are not that important--laughing |

| Yes it is AQHA, I know someone posted they run a special on it every now and then. But she did call and they said it would cost her $535 to get him papered. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | Skeetersmom - 2014-03-26 6:38 PM How funny! I just responded to an ad about a grade gelding. He is proven 1D, credentials a mile long. He is about 11 -lol. Ropes, ranches and is gorgeous. I know the rodeo family, so I don't think I really care about his papers. The only thing that would bug me is not knowing about hypp, herda, etc...
About 11 often times means 21. And you can do a 5 panel on him to verifty HYPP, Herda PSSM1 now so that is an easy fix. A proven gelding often does not need papers to have a value, but as someone that would have loved to have shown AQHA years ago, I only owned a grade gelding. Believe it or not, registration papers hold more doors open. Are they needed NO, but they sure can help. |

I had an older one registered during one of these specials. I don't keep my membership current -I'm not a breeder and don't run in AQHA events, so I also had to pay for that. I also had to tack on the DNA test, and I did parentage verification. I don't remember the exact amount, but I am pretty sure it was still $400+. |

Location: Blissfully happy Giants fan!!! | I have papers on all of my horses. But I have not registered them in my name. I am lazy and I quite frankly just don't care. One is a gelding-Grasshopper. I didn't buy him with papers but I knew his registered name. kmcsunshine owned him. He is registered just not with me. Basically, if Tia every got up and wanted to hate me, she could claim two of my horses though I guarantee you she wouldn't take back Grasshopper. lmao!!!
Grasshopper isn't ever leaving me living so I don't worry. BUT, I have never really cared about papers. Kind of cool and yes I know the high caliber/resale ones have great papers but it just has never been a big deal. |

| i figured that is why since he is an older horse and all the testing and verification etc. Thank you for your post. |

| I would go ahead and do it, she can probably get her money back by being able to up the price with papers. I don't care about papers on a proven gelding, but a prospect I want papers on. I've sold alot of horses, even the proven kid/ husband safe, consistent as they come, never hits a barrel, 11 year old gelding was turned down because he didn't have papers. Sad part is he could have, his breeder just didn't get them. Point is, papers sell faster and easier. |

Location: Oregon | I just got done doing this with a filly of mine, she's 6 and I started the process a little over ayear ago. It has cost me right about $1200.00 so far and I still don't have papers in hand. This was when the $300.00 "sale" was advertised on the website, I sent the $300.00 and then got a bill stating they were no longer doing that. AQHA tells me everything is fine, just processing is slow.
It took DNA on both Mare and the filly, membership fee's, transfer fee's, two back and forths on name choices. I did it because I put alot of training into the filly and I don't want to see her end up in a kill pen as grade. After all this I don't even have the filly anymore, I GAVE her to someone to ride for awhile due to me not wanting to ride young ones right now. Still waiting on papers is very irritating.
But I would go ahead and try to get him Reg, it gives you alot more options if you ever decide to sell down the road. Just know that it might be fairly expensive. |
