Stallion Washington Postman

Default Washington Postman ....Event Stallion
Hi folks, hoping someone can help me. I have a 5 yr old sport horse that the breeder tells me is by this stallion (out of one of her event mares). I have no reason to disbelieve her as she is a friend of a mutual friend. However, the Dam & Sire on his British Sport Horse Society passport is down as unrecorded. When I questioned this, the breeder told me that it was unrecorded because she didn't obtain a covering certificate.
My question is, is there any way I can get proof that Washington Postman is his sire? Does anyone have the contact details of his owner? Is DNA testing a possibility? (Will WP DNA already be on file?)
Thanks in advance for any info!

If you think that she means the TB eventing stallion Washington Postman http://www.sporthorse-data.com/d?d=...x=&color=&dog_breed=any&birthyear=&birthland=
(who may well be deceased, as he was born in 1991) then he was registered on the NTR with Weatherby's, so I would try ringing them as they are usually really helpful. You should be able to establish parentage if so via DNA testing. Good luck!

Wasn't there a horse with the same name which stood at Oakham Veterinary clinic, and who sadly lost his life there, three years (or so) ago? Could he be the horse in question?
