| How many of you own registered horses and have not transferred their papers into your name?
If you do, why haven't you transferred? Cost? Time? Desire? |

Location: Oklahoma | I have two. One horse will die on our place so I don't see a need for it. The other one I don't have plans to sell, but I do need to get his put into my name... it's been 8 years... I think I've procrastinated enough!
They're also both geldings so I'm not worried about any offspring papers. |

| On the geldings, did you get them from the last recorded owner or is there a gap there?
I know sometimes I'll look up an old horse and realize it is still in my name....sometimes 13+ years later. |

The first gelding (one that is never leaving) is still in the breeder's name. The second owner (we're third) never transfered them into their name... that's part of the reason for his never getting done.
The second gelding is still in the previous owner's name (they just live 15 minutes away and I see them on a regular basis). His wouldn't be any pain to do. |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | The mare I sold last year, I owned for several years. Didn't transfer papers into my name until AFTER I sold her. I would have just handed them the papers, but I had filled them out already. I was considered the 2nd owner, even though I was the 5th because nobody prior had transfered papers out of the original breeders name. I actually used BHWs help to track down a number for the breeder because they had never signed off on the reg. papers.
The mare I have now, I've had since Feb. '13. I still haven't sent her paperwork in.
Shoot, I still haven't sent in our puppy registration for our mastiff.
I'm lazy, I guess. Get busy. Forgetful. I have no good reason. |

I transfer all my broodmares and prospects ASAP.
I am however, guilty of having papers on some recip mares here in my registration paper book that I never bothered to transfer though. I know. Bad me.
But most of the recips I have, while they are good momma's, aren't anything that should ever be bred for their own babies anyway. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I have 2 I haven't transferred and have owned both for over a year now. One has pretty blue papers that I don't want to give up for the ugly new ones. The other one I just haven't thought about it. I have another one that I finally transferred after a year and a half, and meant to get her name changed but haven't done it yet. I don't usually change registered names, but hers is so bad I will NOT use it to enter her. I'm a procrastinator... |

I'd bet my favorite boots that the recip I just got at Heritage had papers at one time. She is too well made and too nice not to have been. Her front legs aren't anything I'd ever send down the track, but her body screams it.
Everyone who knows me knows I won't own a grade horse....and yet, here I sit, the proud owner of a pregnant grade mare LOL! |

I rarely transfer a horse. Typically I have geldings, I don't do AQHA shows, so there's really no point in bothering with it. What's the benefit? I've sold lots of them without ever transferring the papers. I'll give the signed transfer form from whoever I bought the horse from to the people I sell it to along with the papers.
Mares are a different story. I just don't see the point in bothering with AQHA on a gelding. |

Recip mares are a different story though IMO. They are baby machines. |

| I transfer everything immediately. If I am seriously looking at a horse for sale I check Aqha, Apha and if the papers are not in order I move on, so someone lost a sale. I have looked at one particular horse for several months and papers have not been transferred in over year so lost interest. This eliminates any problems with Aqha and Apha. I quit having to buy Excedrine fro the headaches |

Location: The end of the Earth, SE AR | I am a obsessive compulsive about papers. I makes sure they are all in order before I buy a horse and the first thing I do after I unload it from the trailer and get it settled in on our place is complete and mail in the transfer form.
If its a foal of ours, I do the registration before 6 months of age. Then I worry and worry that the papers will get lost in the mail. |

Location: Gainesville, TX | I need to transfer my new broodmare, BUT I found out the last time I bought a mare that if I drive to Amarillo and go in to the headquarters I can have the entire thing done in 30 minutes instead of 6 weeks. Thus I have held onto her papers for three weeks and we're headed up that way during spring break (I have family there). I'll get it done there and then send a copy on to the stallion farm. It'll be faster. She had been bought/sold a few times and I was given the original transfer sheet from the breeder.
I do have a gelding I got from my uncle I haven't transferred. Probably should. It wouldn't be hard. I just haven't yet. I'm on top of anything I'm going to breed, but should def. get him done. I guess I haven't to some degree yet because Uncle is family so I don't worry too much about it. I have no plans to sell or show the gelding either. |

Location: Oklahoma | We just went to the AQHA world show and transferred 7 of my horses all at one time there. One of the horses I had owned for ten years. He was just a gelding that I used for playdays and stuff, we never saw a need to transfer him. We ended up selling him without transfering because the people around here dont care much for the papers anyway, Any mare that I will be competing on or breeding I will transfer, along with geldings that will actually be showing or something, But usually we just dont see a need to with some horses |

Ditto. I think almost every horse I've sold with the exception of a colt I just sold are still in my name. That annoys the crap out of me. |
