My colt, Redbank Desert Storm, was registered in the Canadian Fjord registry and dna was not done. He was microchipped and that was it. Surely if dna is necessary, there must be some method of getting this without torturing the poor horse in this manner. This is ridiculous...putting a horse through that! If it is as bad as you say, Lisa, then the S.P.C.A. should be notified! If someone started pulling out my hair three strands or even one at a time, for that matter, I would not forget and they had better be running when they finish and stay clear of me for quite some time...like when I get so senile I forget.....! Can't dna be taken from saliva? If this was necessary to register my horse, I am very much afraid he would remain unregistered! After all, I have to do this beasties mane for the rest of his life and if to do dna results in risk of life and limb....NO THANK YOU! IMHO Papers are not that all important to me! Sue in N.B.
