Is this pedigree really correct?

Postby cissiny » Wed May 02, 2012 5:17 am

I was adding some horses to my own database, and got to this mare:

It looks very strange with the year of birth for these horses, is something wrong here?

Best wishes,

The Harlequin mare is from the only recorded pedigree for Spot 1820c (x Hampton's Twigg) from whom all of family A9 descends. Since it's not completely impossible by date for Harlequin to have covered a mare x *Fearnought (1755-1776) the db here is true to the record. It's somewhat more plausible by date that the "Fearnought" in this cross was a son of *Fearnought.

Thanks Pan Zareta! :D
Just wanted to check, as it looked kind of odd :)

Best wishes,
