They must have a registered Paint parent but also require the stud to be in 
their books too - if a QH or other breed.  We have a paint colt out of a 
reg. paint mare and a reg QH stud and when we went to register him, they 
wanted the daddy to be added to their role of sires - with DNA sample sent 
in and a whole lot of information as well.  We'd have to get the owners to 
do that and I expect they will not.   Our only option left is to regsiter 
him as Pinto.  But the question is - if he is going to be a gelding - how 
much does registration really matter?  Did anyone read an article in 
Western Horseman, I think, that said only about 1 horse out of 100,000 are 
stallion quality?   I only got to read the responses to it in the following 
month's letters to the ed. but have been thinking about that statement 
quite a bit lately.   Could it really be that high a chance to have a good 
stud prospect?
