Is all breed pedigree data base correct ?

[niagaraduval]

My horse is in the data base, I logged him myself and they have traced back his family, which seems to be correct, the grand parents anyway.

However, I entered in the info about 7 years ago and ofcouse they update from time to time when they have new info.

His date of birth I entered years ago has changed, which would make him 10 and not 13 according to the current date of birth.

No one has ever said anything, equine dentist, vet etc. about his age so I never thought anything of it, however when I bought my horse from a dealer, there are a few things changed on his passport in hand writing but they have been stamped by the 'harras nationaux' it seems so never thought anything of it.

Although there were always doubts if he was drugged when we tried him 3 times at the dealers before buying as he was a totally different horse when we brought him home.

Is it possible that the data base is wrong ? That my papers are false or incorrect ?

Of course it's possible that the database could be wrong. Just as there is that the details you have are wrong.Any database is only as accurate as the information entered into it in the first place, and there's always a possibility of human error.
And am I right in thinking anyone can add a horse or suggest edits on allbreedpedigree?

I know another horse breeding database that I sometimes look at is pretty inaccurate, not all the time, but for some horses I know very well I know it's wrong, but they don't correct things when you mention it anyway.

I would just go back in to the All Breed Pedigree Database and alter his details. I think you might be able to add a note to them ? I sometimes see a letter i in a circle that is clickable

He's 13 according to the French system so I'd stick with that - https://ffecompet.ffe.com/cheval/TURFek5EZzFNRGhRdzNOZ3JhazRmdz09

The French are really good with their national studbook, Haras Nationaux agree with FFE:

It's user-maintained so it could well be incorrect - I added both of our boys in myself. There was definitely a mistake in my boys older lines, I think his damsire's dam was younger than her son - turned out there was another mare with the same name.

I would just amend the details to the ones that appear to be correct from your knowledge.

All breed is a wiki, so it is as reliable as Wikipedia. I keep an eye on the pedigrees of our pones as ancestors sometimes mysteriously change.
