The Definition of Registered

By Katherine Blocksdorf, About.com

Definition: A registered horse is one whose pedigrees are recorded with a recognized breed or sport association. The horse will have registration papers that record its performance records or pedigree, depending on the type of registry. In many places it is illegal to sell a registered horse without its papers and then ask more money for the registration papers, or sell the registration papers with another horse.
Examples:
She bought a registered Arabian.
