Me too. And I really don't know why anyone doesn't want to give credit where credit is due??? Maybe crooked sellers? Just asking....not trying to start anything. |

| I just consider the source. Someone making money, which is OK, fine, great. More people should try it. But don't scold me because I don't co-operate in making your business easier. Oh wait, I don't go to many shows as rodeo is more my cup of tea. Will run my horse under any name I choose to.

Location: Adopt a homeless pet - www.petfinder.com! | There are many reasons why I support giving registered names. As a potential buyer, I want to be able to find out how the horse is placing. I also have a mare I want to breed, so it is very helpful when searching for a stallion to be able to see how specific crosses are turning out. Bottom line, I want INFORMATION to help in my decision. We are doing a great disservice to the industry we love by making it impossible for data crunchers to do their jobs. JMHO. |

Location: Displaced Iowegian | ^^^^ THIS........not being required to give the registered name on entry forms gives the "unscrupulous" sellers (and we know there are a LOT of them) an upper hand in their deceptive selling habits. A little harder to lie when you are required to use the registered name. |

All they have to do is enter under the wrong registered name. It's not like someone is verifying papers at the entry table. |

Location: your guess is as good as mine | Wow...never cared much about Equi-Stat as I almost never sell anything - I just always used the registered name because I'm pretty proud of my horses  . I also like looking at registered names at the big races to see if I can tell if any are bred like mine...I like to watch them run and "compare notes" so to speak lol. 
ETA: OK, I know I am extremely naive...but just a question. Why would anyone NOT want to use their horse's registered name...I mean reasons other than the dishonest ones listed in previous posts? Not meaning to start anything or accuse anyone...my li'l ol' blond brain just hasn't been able to figure it out.

1. Because their registered name is stupid
2. Because you don't remember what it is
3. Because you LOVE their barn name
4. Because you're contrary |

Location: Mayerthorpe Alberta | I dont sell my horses so tracking their earnings is not high on my list of things to do, but my gelding is a grade appendix horse anyways. I will enter my mare under her registered name when I start hauling her. I do believe Equistats tracking is good and our large jackpots and barrel finals send the results to Equistats. I also like rodeogo for tracking earnings |

4. Because you're contrary . Now #1 I can kind of understand...not really taken with the registered name of my next up-and-comer, but her barn name is just as bad LMBO! I figure at least using her registered name will allow her previous owner (who also happens to be her breeder) to keep up with how she's doing...just not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. 
ETA: There's one for sale in the Texas Best sale with a name that I wish I'd have thought of - ItchyItchy YaYa.

| I'm on board if my horses registered name wasnt super stupid
I actually prefer registered names but my horse's is so dumb... with that said, aside from this horse, Ive almost always used the registered name. My current horse is from a hunt seat barn and when I offered info on how well he has done, she wasnt interested because it wasnt the discipline she advertises. Therefore, I dont think I am doing her a disservice.
I also have no intention of selling him... but I do see the point behind this post. Just giving an opinion on why SOME dont use them. |

| I used to enter everything under their barn name, but recently have been using registered names. Why not? It would help researching when buying a horse. I can not say how many times I've looked up horses and found they happen to be less than advertised. The only thing about the post that makes me a little indifferent is the line pouring money into the industry so "we" can play. It sounds like something is being donated, when the fees/prices are paid by those using them. |
