I have a 9 year old quarter horse mare and she has been professionally trained in western pleasure, but I’ve been wanting to possibly try her in barrels. I was wondering if there are any tips to work on speeding up her lope and ways to tell if she would be a good barrel prospect?

Horse pedigree research can bring you lots of helpful information about your current horse or a horse you may be interested in buying. This article is geared at helping you understand bloodlines and pedigree names.

Knowing how to perform a search of a pedigree can also be very helpful if you are considering breeding a horse in terms of the quality of the foal you might get with specific crosses.

Below we will take a look at how to do a pedigree search from the comfort of your home and touch a little on what else you can learn from a pedigree search.

Looking Up A Pedigree

When looking up your horse pedigree information, the process is pretty easy. All you need is a computer with an internet connection for most searches. There are many sites available to select from.

Many of these pedigree sites will allow you to search for free. If your horse is registered a search is very simple, all you need is your horse’s registered name.

If your horse is not registered, you may not be able to conduct a search through most horse pedigree sites. However, if you can find if either the sire or dam of your horse is registered you can conduct a search that way.

You also have the option of using a breed association website to do a pedigree search. Sites such as the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) will be helpful in providing you with pedigree information.

Be prepared to possibly pay a small fee through a breed association. Most of them run on a membership basis and if you are not a member you will most likely be charged for some services.

The plus side of a breed association is that they may be able to answer more of your questions and get you accurate information about the horse you are researching. Some free websites do not have complete bloodline information which can be frustrating.

A breed association will also be able to provide you with other information about the horse you are looking up. For example, you can learn more about your horse’s performance record.

If your horse has been shown at breed shows in the past you can find out what types of events and how many points your horse has.

What Else Can You Learn?

A good horse pedigree search can reveal lots of helpful information. Whether you are looking just for fun or you are deciding whether or not to purchase a horse, you can find some information that will be useful.

What can a good horse pedigree search tell you?

You can gather information for successful breeding, marketing, and even genetics to name a few.

My horse bucks almost everytime I ride him now. I have tried changing bits and saddles. I have tried using snaffle and curb bits. He has bucked with a bridle and without and with a saddle and bareback. He has bucked in walk, trot, canter and gallop. If he is going faster than a trot when he bucks I cant get him to stop running. I haven’t been riding very long so I am not that good of a rider. Is there anything else I can try? And why would he be doing it? He has never done it before and I have had him at least a year.
Well I only weigh about 117 pounds so I dont think I’m too big for him. He’s been gelded. I dont have money to take him to a trainer. He is normally really sweet but when he bucks he lays back his ears.
My horse Trigger is a 12 year old quarter horse gelding.

We have a black quarter horse mare named Ebony. She is solid black, no white anywhere, and just an intensely beautiful horse. She has gentle eyes and a quiet demeanor, perfectly smooth, the softest fur I have ever felt on a horse. Any ideas? She is far too beautiful to be called Ebony. Help!

We have 5 nubian goats (1 buck, 4 does) and I want to get a quarter horse but I can only manage one horse, could I put the female goats to pasture with the horse for companionship? I will probably be getting a mare. Would she be OK with the goats?

None of our does have horns, I don’t know if that would be a factor or not.
