Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | SG. - 2014-03-26 2:12 PM Firemanswife - 2014-03-26 1:42 PM 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? 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
Very true, going to be a snag somewhere. Nothing can be easy now adays.  |

| He has had 30 days professional training but she got him as her new barrel prospect but just does not have the time for him she wishes she had. |

| About once per year AQHA offers a $300 all ages registration and $15 transfers for each horse you need transferred into your name.
2014 registration for anything over 5 years old is $500 ... used to be $1000 ...
This is an older lowered registration fee notice that gives you the details. I would talk to them about when they are going to offer the lower fee and do your DNA checks on sire and dam to make sure everything is ready if they offer the lower fees this year..

So are we talking about a green horse that needs more time and training put into him? If so I would not pay much for him at all. |

Location: ND | honestly, to a lot of folks, if they have the pedigree info and trust that it's accurate, they don't really care whether they are registered or not.....unless there are incentives or things..... papers become less and less relevant on geldings as training progresses

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I agree with registering him. In the long run I think she will make more money on him if he is for sale. We bought a somewhat plain bred gelding years ago as a yearling and I paid all the extras to get him registered/stallion breeding report fees etc. When we sold him, it was to ropers and the one that ended up taking him could care less how he was bred as he was proven as a rope horse BUT he liked knowing exactly how old he was and when he ever re sold him, same deal.
Also, some say you can't ride papers, but if you have a standout barrel horse and decide you may want to do AQHA barrels, you can't. It's just a nice thing to have. Not the end of the world, but I think they pay for themselves. |

| It matters ALOT to me for a horse to be registerd although I have a couple exceptions. If I KNOW a horse and am buying it for a child learning to ride and the horse is aged, I don't care. The other exception is if I know an older horse that I need as a companion horse for something at the ranch.

Location: SE KS | I am not trying to steal your post, but same scenario, except horse for sale is a mare, 6 or 7 years old, halter broke, being advertised as a granddaughter of Shining Spark, is registered International Horse Identification Registry, but have the paperwork to register AQHA. $1,500.
I am interested in the horse, but not at that price, without AQHA papers!!!

Unpapered horses = mexico bound meat truck.
False.....I've pulled proven 1D papered geldings put of the kill pen. High brow cat, smart little lena, and smart chic o lena mares out and even a yeaeling gelding paid in full to the pleasure futurity in vegas. Had all tye paper work on every single horse too.
Papers mean absoutly nothing to a kill buyer. Well maybe they can slap them on anotherhorse that is grade once the actual horse has been slaughtered. |

| YES, PEOPLE, REGISTER YOUR HORSES! It verifies age and verifies bloodlines--there might be some that a person definitely wants to stay away from, i.e. Impressive. If a person is wanting to do a specific event then the papers verifies potential bloodlines. REGISTER YOUR HORSES, PLEASE! |

Location: Deep South | If I read your friend's ad and it said that she had the paperwork in hand to register the horse, but the horse has not been registered I would skip right on to the next one. I see this so often in ads, I have to wonder if the sellers are being truthful. I just think to myself, if they really do have the paperwork why hasn't the horse been registered?? Therefore, I assume there is some sort of issue with it, or they don't have it at all. I'm sure there are exceptions, like seems the case with your friend, but not a risk I'm willing to take.

Have you pulled any grade horses out of the meat pen? |

| 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... |

Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | It depends on where you are and what the horse would be used for. There are a lot of people who don't care about papers. If you live where the value of the horse is in his/her ability and not for breeding, then papers matter less. If it's a mare who the only thing standing between her and oblivian, papers AND pedigree matter.
I just don't get why people don't get them registered when it's $30. Problem solved.  |
