   or–
   A "Pending" Certificate of Registration will be sent, if you can not satisfy any one of the above (item #4) qualifiers at registration time. The horse has it's lifetime to satisfy one of the above performance requirements. The "Pending" Certificate of Registration proves all registration fees have been paid and contains:
   • <LI type=disc>horse/pony pedigree information
   • performance requirements, still to be satisfied
   • Transfer form (in case horse is sold before obtaining scores

And Then we have to go through the Inspection Test!
I have my fingers crossed that he grows into a good strong horse . I think its very cool.

My Goal is going to be Blue or Red Perfered.
And I plan on taking him as a Three Year old since he is only 14 months now.

Fingers Crossed. I have to get Blood Work Done. I should be in the Clear though!

Woot.

You can have him inspected earlier. He can be done again as a three year old if you wish.

Presenting a horse before age 3 has certain advantages.

Well I would do him as a two year old but he is in another state and I don't get there for another 3 months, so he will be 17 months by then, he is a rescue, so we do have alot alot of work, I don't want to look like a fool going there and spending all my money, I want to make sure, he has all the basics, well mannered, used to Humans and life outside of the herd, get some muscle... Then I have to get him registered under USEF and go to a recognized show in In-Hand Classes. We might need to go to a couple before we get the scores. I know its not going to be a walk in a park, but I do want him to be prepared, and still enjoy being a horse.

No you do not HAVE to. His inspection score if good enough are all he needs to pass for full registration papers.

You are very right I totally skipped over the OR part... I guess then it is going to depend on his temperment when I get him and he starts going into training. When I flew out the two times to see him he seemed like a real Gem.. It also depends on their inspection schedules and where they are... I'm not all about rushing him.

Just keep in the back of your mind that the score sheet for animals under 3 is a lot easier than when they hit age 3 or over.

Thanks :] I will. I just have to see when I get there. I got all this information today and thought it was pretty exciting.
