if you buy a tennessee walker that the owner had lost her regestration. can you try to track it down?

The best thing to do would contact the TWHBEA (would help if you had either the reg name or number) I don't know what could be done... The old owner that was named on the papers will have to be the ones to actually apply for it, I'm sure they should be able to get a duplicate, as long as they know the name and or number.

It is very difficult. DO NOT buy a horse under the assumption you "can" get papers. I made the mistake of doing this, the seller said all that needed to be done was sign the papers. WRONG! All that needed to be done, was sign the papers and the $1200 check to get it registered.

If you want the horse registered, make sure the previous owner does it. The person who "lost" the papers, needs to get them back. If they know the horses registered name and has the horse's papers in their name, they can easily get a copy of the registration. If the horse is transfered, it becomes near impossible to recover papers on it.

The transfer report has to be filled out by the person the horse was last registered to. If it's the current owner, then they can ask for a duplicate of the papers and sign the horse over. If it's a previous owner it may not be possible, depending on whether you can track them down and whether they're willing to do it.

I agree, if the owners don't have the papers in hand and in order, it's a grade horse. If they tell you it can be easily done, then let them do it before any money changes hands. I want to see the papers myself on any horse before I buy it.

I was upset, believe me. The horse I bought has such cool papers too, tracing back to Man O War on one side, the foundation quarter horses on the other, and a bit of Impressive(what doesn't nowadays). But I was not going to pay $1200 for papers, just to have the horse gelded later. I wish I had the papers in hand just to show off the history in his blood and it would have only cost his breeder $25 to do it when he was born. It was pure laziness on her part and it irks me to this day. A terrible buying experience and one that I will not forget.

Absolutely, I didn't mean to come across as critical for that happening to you, i'm sorry if it did.

What I was trying to tell the OP is unless someone hands you the papers (in order), it doesn't matter how they tell you a horse is bred, without the papers it's considered no better bred than any grade horse. In some cases it's impossible to even prove the breed of the animal, but obviously with gaited horses it should be more apparent.

It can be done but it may take a really long time. I tracked down an Appy and a TWH (McCurdy lines) through contacting the registry and getting all that info and calling everyone who ever had the horses to find out.........

I wonder if TWH has a hardship registry?

ETA- I said paso fino and meant appaloosa

her mom is a champion horse is all i know about her mother

If that's all you know then the chances of you getting papers are slim to none.

Cara, I didn't take it as being critical, I was just venting a little. LOL Trying to save the OP the same frustration I went through.
