Home computer pedigree software

Does anyone have a recommendation for good software to use on your home computer to keep track of your horse "genealogy" and pedigrees?
Some people are like slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

Tesio Power.

Bill,

What features do you like about Tesio Power? I've been debating between it and G1 Goldmine.

Hi Firebrand

I use both Tesio Power and G1 Goldmine. They each heve their own particular strengths. G1 is an excellent source for the evaluation of successful (or not so successful) bloodline crosses, where Tesio Power is a superb resource for developing your own databases and offers a deeper historical perspective for pedigree evaluation. I use Tesio Power daily, and G1 Goldmine often, but not as often as Tesio Power. Both have their place.
