| I have a friend looking at selling a horse. She has the papers in hand to register him but he is not registered himself. As we all know it is expensive to do this. If you were the buyer would you stay away, pay less, or does it matter to you since you can actually see how he is bred? |

| She has all paperwork in hand to get him registered just isnt sure if it is worth paying the fee to have it done. So would you figure some people will look at him basically as a grade? |

| If she has the paper work on the dam and sire and the paper work to register him, so I can verify how he's bred, then it doesn't matter to me if he's papered or not. I'd buy him if he's proven himself. Also if he's proven I don't think it would effect the price, if he isn't proven than it would. Age would make a difference too. So I guess it just depends on the situation. You can't breed him so to me having papers on a proven horse isn't as big of a deal.
**Had to edit this after I thought about it a little while.

Location: De Berry, Tx | I would NOT go look at a horse that is could be registered but isnt. It is a huge diservice to the horse. He may not be able to reproduce but you can still look at his bloodlines and tell things about him that you couldnt if it was a no papered horse. Jmo |

The papers can make or break the sale if he's a young prospect that's eligible for breeders incentive $$$. |

Are you sure she has all paperwork, depending on the age of the horse DNA parentage verification needs to occur, so both sire and dam needs to already be on file, or still alive, then you would have to DNA the parents too |

| As far as I know she has everything just isnt sure if it is worth dropping the cash to have registered papers on him since he is a gelding to make a sale price difference. |

Location: Oklahoma | I would consider him a grade at this point (even if everything is ready). How much is the fee? I am always going to overlook the grade horses when they're unproven. |

| He is 6 coming 7. I think she mentioned it is like the upwards of $500 to have him registered. Because of the DNA testing etc |

She should do it then for the 500. If he's bred well, she could be able make it up in the price if he has papers. |

He is a grade without being registered. Even though "paperwork " is in hand, doesn't mean there wouldn't be a snag. So Papers are a must |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Does this horse rope, run barrels? If the papers are in order and ready to be sent in to be reg that would not be a problem for me if the horse has a job. But I would not be paying much if I wanted to get him reg. |
