“Midnight Star’s producing record is the anchor for the entire winter breeding season,” Elena said, her voice carrying the precise, technical equestrian terms she used when she was focused. “If we cannot present the original certified breeding records to the breed registry by Monday morning, we cannot register her new foal with the AQHA.”
I looked at the blue ledger on the desk, its margins filled with my father’s neat, looping handwriting from twenty years ago. “Samuel took the original certificates from the main filing cabinet in the house, Elena.”
“He cannot transfer them without your signature on the official transfer application, Lily,” Elena said, shifting her weight as she tapped the corner of her clipboard. “Even if he has the physical paper, the registry requires a notarized release from the owner of record.”
“He forged my signature on the five-dollar land deed,” I said, my voice slow and deliberate as I adjusted my silver belt buckle. “He will not hesitate to write my name on a breed registration transfer if it gets him the forty-two thousand dollars he needs to clear his personal debt.”
