Oh Yes! Years ago I spent months tracking down a pedigree that takes mere minutes now! I have put all mine on it, sometimes there are inaccuracies, it is only as good as the information put on it, but generally it is incredibly useful.

I discovered that my QH and my APHA, although registered with different associations, actually share very similar bloodlines, and I simply wouldn't have known where to start looking for that sort of information over here. It is also really interesting to be able to find photos and performance records too. I am too tight to pay to enter photographs of my horses though!

yes I use it, but you do have to watch out for some glaring errors where some idiots think it is funny to change pedigrees for fun

great, so how do you know if you're checking breeding that it is actually right?

Same as me Enfys! I'm not paying to put up a photo of my lot - would cost me a fortune, LOL!!

Yes I use Allbreed and all of my horses are registered on there. I have found this site absolutely invaluable.

Yes I use it, and I have introduced hundreds of people to it too. I check ever such a lot of horses on there, and whilst you do need to have your wits about you because of inaccuracies, it is a great tool.

You don't have to pay to add photos!

Choose a pedigree.
Click "maintaince" then "edit information".
There is a box to paste in the URL of a photo on the web already (i.e. in photobucket) under "extra optional information".

The payment is if you want to upload photos to their servers instead of hosting them somewhere like photobucket.

Yep I am another one who uses this site, I think it is invaluable for helping with records of breeding & some very useful photo's & info can be found on there. My mare is on there as though I may not know her breeding she has bred a foal this year & may again in the future. If her breeding ever becomes known then it can be updated.

Opie that's a really good site - will have to have a play with that...

ust put in a 'virtual mating' of one of my mares and her 2008 foal's daddy and it came up with the pedigree plus XX/OX percentage : 56.06%

Does that mean it will be 56.06% TB is that what the XX/OX bit means?

I love it, and also the one OPIE posted is good. I really like looking at the pictures of the old stallions

This is my sisters horse's pictures, Valentino , (go reports, Photos) it starts of with normal Warmbloods, then great big draught horses, photos of Arabs in the desert and what looks like TBs in the USA, you would never get that from just looking at a pedigree

and everything added is reveiwed and verified by editors, although I think because it's taking off so well the editing is taking longer.........

It shows Umenno as being 53% TB so very usefull and perhaps the reason why the graders stated he gives so much "Blood" to his progeny and describe him as being a refining sire. I love using the virtual mating too its just fab!

Check out the family trees also, at the bottom of the listings you can request that the family tree shows progeny of dam, progeny of sire, or even progeny that have become approved sires or competed Internationally. It reveals the ture value of the predicate systems used by the Dutch and what mare lines are valuable for breeding, what they have achieved, the progeny etc... never buy a horse without consulting all the data first....... hey I know you can't ride papers but you sure do get a great insight to the potential and worthiness of breeding stock!

i really hope that more and more British breeders start using it as it would be of great value for everyone! Who needs NED LOL
