Official Joint Press Release from AES and NED
Performance sport horse studbook AES (Anglo European Studbook) is presently investing in an update of its computer system which will improve its data provision to the recently-launched National Equine Database (NED).
"NEDs release to the public has highlighted some of the missing links in the data provided by the 100 or so data providing organizations, says NED Chief Executive Nick Wallbridge it has been a mammoth task to combine this information and make links between passport and performance records so that, when users visit NED, they can be happy with the information they find on their horses.
AES Chief Executive Henk Minderman said we have become aware of gaps in our data, partly because we are working from an old DOS system, and since NED went live we have received notification from people with AES passports that their data is not always perfect. We are significantly investing in a complete upgrade of our computer system so that we can be certain of improvements. Added Henk, the AES is fully supportive of NED and our societys aim has always been to improve competition horses in the UK. By working with NED to improve the AES data we can do this."
Nick Wallbridge concluded we have been in discussion with AES about the things they can do to improve their systems so that their busy team can quickly and easily extract data for NED to the benefit of the whole equine industry and its very pleasing that they are working towards this.
