Cyclone, was bought by my dad from one of Wayne Newton's trainers.  He was 
born with a slight club foot on the right front, so therefore was not 
registered because he wasn't good enough to show, but we have the paperwork 
to register him but what is the point in paying $500 to get a 21 year old 
gelding papered just to satisfy those people who are so enthralled with 
papers.  Cysco I bought from a gentleman who had both of the parent's 
papers, which I have.  The owner of the stud and the mare died a couple 
years ago and the stud died before Cysco was born and the mare died shortly 
after Cysco was born.  Both are out of pure-bred arabians.  Just because 
they aren't registered does not mean that they aren't arabians.  Both of 
these horses will live out their days with me, so papers really don't 
matter.  But it really irritates me that people who are so enthralled with 
papers that they can't recognize that yes they are pure-bred arabians, they 
just don't have the "formal papers" to prove it.  And I'm not going to pay 
the $$ just to prove to everyone that yes they are pure-bred.
