My friend that sold us Cuesta, notified Mark today that she has found some paperwork that she lost, and we can register Cuesta as a Paint with the American Paint Horse Association (APHA.) This is awesome; it does increase her monetary value (not important as we never want to sell her) but it also is just awesome in general; it is literally her birthright to be APHA.
Now I will have all the fun of explaining why our colored mare (Emma) is not a Paint, but our solid chestnut is.. lol.
To celebtrate, here's a Cuesta Photo Festa from tonight!
