Pedigree Accuracy

Is there an easy way to remove horses from a stallion or mare production record that should not be there?

I am writing a short profile on Panzarita Daugherty P-2121, the great West Texas show mare and producer. Her similarly-renowned dam, Panzarita P-747, is shown to have produced two Appaloosas in Colorado. She didn't.

How best to remove these horses from Panzarita's produce list? Stuff like this really brings the whole concept of All-Breed date base accuracy into question.

It is my understanding that a horse connot be deleted if the horse is listed as having offspring.
I have found that in some cases the incorrect horses listed either because there never was a horse of that name.. or because of incorrect spelling often do not have progeny . These ones are easy to delete.
An incorrect horse with progeny.. you have to delete the progeny first.. then you can delete the horse you want.
I often come across bogus horse pedigrees. If it is a simple delete or a parent needs to be changed I will do it.. it can be frustrating.
If something is really bugging me.. I might use my AQHA play money to look up a pedigree and add the official version to this website.

Michelle,

I wasn't talking about deleting a horse; I was trying to figure out how to delete two horses from Panzarita's produce list...horses she never produced.

Pull up the progeny report for PD, click on the horse that doesn't belong there, (check that second horse's progeny report, and if none, just click on your "back" button to get back to second horse's pedigree), go into maintenance and click "delete horse".

Well....it's not going to be that easy, Frank. Ms Texas and Rio Bravo seem to have a line of progeny having progeny having progeny (you get my drift). Basically, to remove Ms Texas and Rio Bravo, you'd have to follow the progeny reports to the end of EACH horse to delete that horse, and then work backwards.

Okay, deleted Rio Bravo--that didn't go too far with descendants.
