| Saw a note in comment section about need for more color/pattern choices, is there a petition current to let the programmer know the needs of the color breed breeders out there? Height/weight can be very subjective on foundation/ancestrial horses, while on the other hand... the JC, AQHA, APHA, ApHA, TWH, SSB & *Arabian registries (just to name a few) have verifiable registration numbers, going back *centuries. Being able to pull up a horses' name and see the information for 5 generations- color & registry is very useful when trying to bred for a perticuliar color or pattern. I know some registries have more color choices as well, like black bay... you have no selection for breeding stock (for registries undesirables), brindle or curly coat choices. I just a small breeder, but your website has been a valueable tool for my business. Please concider these thoughts if & when you update this site. |

Yes some registries do have these numbers dating back anywhere from 10-200+ years. And Yes this site when it started. Did have an area that allowed these registration numbers to be visible in the display part of the pedigrees. BUT about two years ago I think it was. One or more of the associations listed above. Threatened legal action against this site and its sponsors because of this. At that time the program was changed, so the Registration numbers are only visible in the drop down boxes.
As for colors being posted. There is a list of colors furnished. Yeah I KNOW not all the colors that are out in this world are listed there. With the Genetic color thing starting to grow. We had posters who where changing colors on horses from way back in the late 1800's and early 1900's to reflect what they "thought" the (Dilute/Genetic) color was. That caused a royal stir on this site for a long time. Basically what it came down to was that the Genetic Color Buffs where allowed to post an ABBREVIATED color in the "height" area as long as they left the registered color alone.
I to wish their was a type in field for color instead of the drop down thing that isn't a complete list of colors.
As for the registration numbers not being shown in the pedigree. We cant change that or the site and its sponsors could face legal action again. There is really NO need for these numbers to appear anyway. As long as they are available in the drop down box's. Myself I have always thought that Registration numbers should be required(even if they would only appear in the dropdown box) to add a horse here. That would save on the Duplications and on the Phantom foal postings.

It would be nice if they'd at least separate dun and buckskin--they are NOT the same color! (regardless of what a lot of QH folks seem to think)  |
