HELP: 2003 Spiritual Force(Dam) colt

[Berry]

I aquired a TB colt from a friend of mine and we have never recieved the papers on the colt. The last owner had him for about six months and never tried to get them.

I have the past place which he was at in Buellton, CA called River Edge Farm.

If anyone could help me get information to register him or to get the current papers on him that would be great.

I don't know anything about your particular colt, however in order to register him with the Jockey Club you will need some things. If you call them they will send you a foal registration kit which you will need to complete. Since he was born in 2003 and it is now 2005 the fee to register him will be $750. You will also need the stud certificate for the stallion service, which you will need to obtain from the stallion owner. That is provided the stud fee was paid.... Good luck.

You might also try getting ahold of the State Breeder's Association in your state. The one here in Louisiana were able to put me in touch with the stallion owner on a late registration I had years ago.

I had called the breeder today and he was of no help and told me the horse was useless. I am going to call the Jockey Club on Monday.

Hi,
does the breeder feel that the colt is a poor representation of the stallion ? If so it is probably why he was not registered. If the colt is in good health and has great conformation the only reason not to have papers is that someone did not pay for the stud service. He may have been sold on the condition that he was not to be registered. I think you should find out the whole story before persuing the matter further.

Stealing Kat, just a sidenote on your reference about the colt not being of uality. The one I registered late was a yearling, he came from a University. His dam was donated in foal, with the stallions fee paid, but the farm manager never tried to obtain the stud certificate. He told me that he couldn't get it. One phone call to my state breeder's association and I was able then to obtain the certificate and register him.

It's hard to say why this breeder(was it the mare or stallion owner that claimed thfoal was useless?) said that. I know this may not be the case here but other factors can be involved.
But in my case I know that witha $175 price and late registration fees. More than likel I could have made my money back, if I would have sold him. Just a thought, had to get that off my chest.
