I have done both, been rejected and accepted.
However, my main complaint with AMHR is not the pics. I don't mind re-doing pics. I have submitted several horses to AMHR this spring and have been rejected for no stallion report on file (It was there and when I called I was told they were swamped and they did not have time to look it up - thank goodness I had a copy- I sent it in December 2006 and this was MARCH 2007). This was a long distance phone charge for me-not to mention my time which is evidently worthless to them, because the person you need to speak with is never there- they have to call you back. So you sit by the phone because if you miss the call, you know it is telephone tag for a couple of days.....
Then, I sent in papers to have temp to perm - they took my pictures but totally screwed up the breeders on the perm papers- Again, I had to call them, nobody could help me, then finally send them back because they had no idea how that got so screwed up.
I have a whole stack of AMHA registered colts from this year that I am getting ready to send in for AMHR papers. My husband says "throw them in the trash- it will only be mistake after mistake for you to straighten out again and it is NOT worth it" and I am beginning to believe he is correct.
Can you tell I am a bit tired of all their "excuses" there??????? They want "perfect" pics but they certainly are not giving me back "perfect" registry papers to say the least. GRrrrrrr
