| PEDIGREE BARN
We have now succeeded in our goal to provide pedigrees that are easy
to read, use, and most important of all, convenient to print intact on
your own printer. Most important, you can save the information
in digital form, for the next time. No more coffee stains or pages glued
together with milk and sugar.
This folder is intended to be a library of pedigrees that the you
can visit andwith Adobe Reader [or any other compatible program].
Then you can print them, compare notes, or whatever, while you decide questions
about bloodlines and breeding choices. We have bridged the
gap between the pedigree programs and the website. Our
intention is to first provide pedigree information to our customers and
other visitors to the farm or the website, about our own stock. The
secondary effort is to provide pedigrees in the same uniform format about
the horses that have been famous, notable, or significant, and which may
or may not appear in our own horses ancestry. Third, comes
the group that for some other good reason, as determined by
the Herdmaster, need to be provided as a part of the library.
The entries for the pedigrees that are presented in this library,
are derived from our own data bases in our own pedigree programs, stud
books, and credible media sources. The input for these
data bases is from sources we consider to be reliable, and which for the
most part are accessible to the public in various forms.
We have avoided wishful, anecdotal, or privately generated pedigrees, for
any purposes other than a reason to research a specific point, with rare
occurrences of validation in part or whole.
The first source of choice is the Appaloosa Horse Club’s Registration
Certificate, and the Appaloosa Horse Club’s four or five generation pedigree
certificate. Second, is the ApHC Stud Books, especially
where this applies to early bloodlines and foundation stock lines.
Third, is information derived from research with the ApHC registrar’s
office concerning component horses in a pedigree, where points of confusion
and error occur, repeated names, typo or misspellings, or occasionally
duplicate names or names changed for whatever reason. Fourth,
other registries which enable us to carry back to earlier periods of time,
along select branches of pedigrees. Fifth, media sources such as
articles from magazines, published reference materials [Western Horseman’s
Legends Set] or other registry’s stud books.
We will attempt to provide specific pedigree information on an as
requested basis from our data files, within limits. We are not trying
to provide a pedigree service for which the recipient might normally pay
a fee. They are cheap for the price and are much prettier to look
upon, and we encourage their use, especially the ApHC pedigrees, which
match the horse owner’s registration certificate. Assistance
will be limited to matters of last recourse, or to bridge gaps for
horse owners seeking to know about other horses in their horse’s distant
past.
Requests for pedigree information or other assistance should be submitted
through the CONTACT US
button on the home page menu. Responses will generally
be on an individual basis, not posted through the library for public viewing.
Individuals will be asked to provide information they already have in hard
copy [paper] form [via snail mail] as a part of any effort to provide
pedigree assistance.
Welcome to the pedigree library. We hope this will help you
in your search for the right horse.
