So i have been looking at my mares passport and i am intrigued to see what some of the sires and dams looked like!
She is registered with Irish horse register, is there any way of trying to find photos/pictures of these horses in her breeding history?
 
have you tried just google imaging the names?? sometimes comes up with a result

Who is she, and what do you know already? Perhaps (surely!) someone on here will know about some of her family.

This is one thing that really gets me about breeding and pedigrees, though; despite all the emphasis on the importance of pedigree, when it comes down to it it is really difficult, a couple of generations down the line, to find out much to flesh out the names on the paper. This amazing breeding resource is reduced to an empty list of names. I wish stud books would keep conformation photographs, and a video record of the horses they register.
 
I agree with you. I'm a bit of a nut about pedigrees (be it horses, dogs, cats or whatever) and I'm really surprised that it's not mandatory to have a couple of photographs in a passport. I know there's the ID chart thingy but a decent side-on photo, at least, would be good. Submitting a couple with the application so that the studbook could keep one would be a good idea, I think.

LOL or to check it- now that spot is THERE and that spot is THERE.... Do the spots stay in the same place from year to year?
