Registration

One is always told that you need to keep your sense of humor in difficult times. I try very very hard even though a rain cloud seems to be hovering over me when it comes to registering my horses with the IDHS NA. I don't know if I have been cursed or if there is a voodoo doll of me or something but it is a neverending debacle. I won't entertain you with all of the problems I've suffered over the years, I'll just mention my newest.

The hair of the yearling was submitted to the IDHSNA and they sent it to the lab for DNA testing. It came back as sire verified but that they reported that they don't have the DNA of the mare on record. Sigh. The mare was registered with the IDHSNA and DNA verified when she was foal. She has since had 3 foals. The first two were DNA verified and recorded. Now all of the sudden they don't have her DNA so the 3rd foal isn't eligible to be registered as a purebred.

I need to sign off and weep now............
