Sometimes your scam antenna go up, trying to warn you away. But you don't listen, over riding that little voice telling you NOOOOOOOO! You really want to be a kind caring person, doing the right thing, giving a rescued horse a home, helping the rescue with your money....... Maybe in this case you need to stay away. You said your self that you can buy a registered horse for about the same money and without those strings attached. So, go buy one.
Personally, I know there are some very responsible people doing very good work rescuing various animals. But I would not ever have anything to do with 99.9% of them. I might make people mad here, but it is JMO that most rescue animals need "rescuing" from the rescue! Ridiculous contracts that really means the animal never really belongs to you, some are real wackos. It is a whole lot easier to just go buy what I want. And I don't have to deal with anybody's long nose stuck in my business. My horses are spoiled, well fed and cared for.
