I was under the same impression?

I definitely snipped her yesterday even hit the confirm geld/spay warning prompt and all that jazz and it showed her as a spayed mare when I listed her on Public Sales, she sold this morning and I clicked on her page (cause I'm always curious to see who buys my pixel ponies) and suddenly it shows her as a regular unsnipped mare.

To be clear I'm just trying to figure out how she went from spayed mare yesterday to regular mare today when I did not unspeld her and she definitely got spelded yesterday so my assumption is the new owner had to have unspelded her but that shouldn't be possible.....

Oooh wait maybe her original breeder bought her back, I thought she was from one my alt accounts I absorbed but it could be that I had previously bought her from someone else and that would make more sense as to why and how she's now unspelded. *facepalms*

Sorry if this post ended up causing drama.

I'm happy you figured it out!

Yup. Only the original breeder can unsnip or clone a horse. :)

Correction and it's my own fault because I did not know this but I'm putting it out here in case someone else doesn't know this.

The mare was bred by my alt account. I absorbed the alt account so the breeder was removed. I did not know that I could then reregister the breeder as my main account or that if I sold the horse the new owner could then register themselves as the breeder (say what?) so when the snipped mare got sold the new owner was able to register themselves as the breeder and unsnip her.

I'm actually back to being pretty upset about this now that I know it was a work around that allowed this to happen but in the future I will make sure it doesn't happen again.

I’m curious as to why someone unsnipping a horse is a problem? Bare with me if this obnoxious but I’m new. However your horse didn’t fit your bill but it did fit the new owners bill so isn’t that okay that your pixel pony will be used more by someone who can make use of her?

Ammit I just didn't know you could reregister it I thought once you merged the horse just no longer had a breeder and what is done was done, can't unsnip, can't clone etc.

If I had known (which is why I say this is completely my own fault for not knowing but I literally had no clue reregistering was a thing till today, I thought I'd read through the FAQs and all the pages but clearly I missed something) this would have never come up in the first place because I would have reregistered the horse and she would have stayed snipped instead of my being confused because suddenly a horse I snipped and sold is now unsnipped. To me, it is a work around (though I understand why and how its in place and that its intended to be beneficial) for someone who did not breed the horse or own the alt account that it was merged from to then be able to claim the horse that way. Now that I know that they can do that if it isn't reregistered (and that reregistering is even a thing) I'll make sure I reregister all my merged account horses.

I added about it in case there are other people who didn't know about the reregistering thing like me so if they read this post they could now learn about it.

@Valhellion, nope. We're talking about horses created or bred by certain players. You're still listed as the horse's breeder if you create a foundation. You kinda still "bred" the horse by creating it.

Thank you all for this thread! I just reregistered a few from my merged alt that I thought I'd never be able to clone. :x

In case anyone is wondering it is just a button on the horse's control panel to reregister.
