      I have no papers, nor any idea how to get them, even if they'd be
available.
      All i know about papers is from my days as a dog breeder (Boxers), ane
with canines, both parents have to be registered and papered before you can 
even think about registering the pups.  In fact, it's against Canadian law to 
claim a dog is purebred unless you can produce papers.  With horses, I have 
no idea, sorry.

      Well, mine is planned for my 11 year old daughter (6 weeks short of 
2).
What she does with it, only time will tell.
