May 19, 2021 Comments Off on Forged Registration Papers: What to Look Out For!
“The first person to call about the papers gave us a registration number that did not match the name of the horse on the papers,” Janet says. “When we tried to look the horse up by the name, we did not have any horses registered with that name.

It’s a tongue in cheek saying that we’d all like a unicorn: a perfect, dream-fulfilling, look-to-the stars kind of horse–a horse that takes us on a magical, unbelievable journey. When Snap It Send It, a 2016 AQHA gray mare, entered Kent Ray Taylor’s life, she seemed destined to make his dreams come true. Imagine a horse so special that, despite a 2020 show season cut short due to the pandemic, she garnered enough points and futurity money to win the title of NSBA Horse of the Year.

The vast array of colors and coat patterns that a horse can possess is nothing short of divine. Certainly genetics and bloodlines play a huge part in determining whether a foal will come into the world with a bald face or a speckled backside, but there is something miraculous that happens during the process to determine when and how coloring is placed. Whether you’re fond of the coppery coat of a solid Quarter Horse, the flashy chrome of an American Paint, or the spots of an Appaloosa, each breed provides evidence of divine design in its own unique way.
