TRAINING:
This coming week the first official training sessions will
be conducted in the Cape Town area.
Should you want to attend a session please contact Gielie Visser on
082-658-6379. Basic training will be supplemented by advanced benefits and
calculation explanations. The session will conclude with a discussion on future
developments and other user requirements that can be added to the flexible www.horsestudbook.com. After-all this is
what makes www.horsestudbook.com
unique in the world!
IMPROVEMENTS:
- After
in-depth discussions with the Chairman of the Sire-Rating committee, Mr.
Charl Hertzog, the TOP 20 ranking has been further refined to allow
filtering between junior and senior ratings as well as selection of sires
based on whether they are alive or dead.
- Another
amazing element that has been added enables the user to see exactly why a
certain horse achieved a certain position in the TOP 20 rankings. You may now
select an item in the TOP PERFORMER ranking under shows and view the
entries and placements that lead to that horse being placed in that
position.
AMERICAN SADDLE HORSE
We are glad to announce that www.horsestudbook.com has been updated
with the official pedigree data as supplied by the SA Saddle Horse Society. All
your registered horses should now be on the system with complete pedigree’s
tracing in some instances as far back as the foundation thoroughbred stock in
the UK. Since
being selected as the official webservice system SA Saddle Horse Society
supplied us with 27,748 horses from their database. Of these horses we found
998 new horses to add to www.horsestudbook.com.
This brings the database to a total of 32,951 horses!.
At present we are awaiting the official breeder and owner
information from SA Saddle Horse Society and will inform you as soon as it has
been received and incorporated into the system.
