May 19, 2021 Comments Off on Forged Registration Papers: What to Look Out For!
“The first person to call about the papers gave us a registration number that did not match the name of the horse on the papers,” Janet says. “When we tried to look the horse up by the name, we did not have any horses registered with that name.
