Add a horse called Mare

[Nynke]

I've been trying to add my horse Mare to the database for several times now, but always after a while the horse is probably deleted, because I get the message "Horse Not Found. The horse Mare can't be found in the database. Please check to see..." etc.

Maybe the problem is in the name of the horse; I can understand that the name of Mare cannot be accepted because otherwise too many people would add nameless mares of unknown pedigree, but I can't help that the horse I want to add is actually called Mare. She is a Friesian horse and carries the old Frisian name of Mare, which in this language is not pronunciated as the English word mare and also does not refer to a horse of the female sex.

I hope somebody can help me with this matter, so that I can finally add the horse to the database

All you can do is add her and put a note in the entry that her name really is Mare.

Under normal circumstances, I would say add her then ping the site admin (NOT THE MODERATOR FOR THIS BOARD) to lock her down... but Miles has been MIA for almost a year now and who knows where the hell Brad is. There is no one here that can lock down anything in the database or doing any kind of maintenance and there is no longer a moderator for this board in case it gets hit by a troll.

This has always been the abuse stepsister to the TB site. We have database maintenace over there... this place is a free for all.

Hey Sam,

Thanks for the information. She's gone again, but I think I'll leave it this way. Pedigree information etc. on the website of the studbook for Friesians has been made free at last, so no need for me to put her here anymore
