Foiled?

Those of you who have been following Kachina's Twitter probably know that I received Kachina's paperwork back from The Sun on Thursday. I was super excited at the prospect of finally registering Kachina after such a long, up-hill process.

Unfortunately, I called the APHA this afternoon and they said that The Son wasn't authorized to sign any paperwork for the horses; he never bothered to fill out the required paperwork to get authorization, which would require sending in death certificates and such. Seeing as how it's taken nearly five months to get him to put a signature on paper, I don't see any chance of him actually finding a death certificate, filling out the paperwork, calling the APHA and getting registered. I asked the woman what I was supposed to do, seeing as how the original owner was deceased. She told me that there were two owners listed -- the old man, and his wife -- and to her knowledge, the wife was still alive and she told me her name.

So, in a desperate attempt, I Googled the wife's name. After some investigative work that would make Sherlock Holmes proud I found her address and phone number! And, as it lists her husband and son's names too, I'm positive it's the right person. I'll call today after work and see if I can get her to sign the paperwork instead.

Wish me luck! Let's hope she's easier to work with than her son.
