| Easy access to information |
| This website is being developed as a prototype for an open web application where members can |
| register and update horse records online in time. |
| . |
| . |
| The first step in the revitalising of the NZ Sport Horse Register was getting the data into a more modern |
| format collecting other information not found under the old database - for example email addresses! Email |
| wasn't in common use 18 years ago so it wasn't recorded in the database even in recent times. |
| |
| Email in this version of the database on the other hand will play a big part. We intend most |
| correspondence to be by email and eventually your email address will be part of the secure login system |
| when you update your horse records. So our first problem is that all 550 past members of the NZ Sport |
| Horse Register do not have an email contact listed. We are depending on you getting the word out to get |
| as many of those people back into the system. Send us an email! |
| . |
| Information is power - especially when it is widely disseminated to people who can use it. If you want to |
| breed the next Charisma, you should be looking for the bloodlines that are already doing well in eventing. |
| And not just the sire. Analysis of the bloodlines is actually highlighting how important the sire of the dam |
| is. |
| |
| Our next step is to begin to make information available online of horses already recorded so that others |
| can start to look up pedigrees and fill in gaps with their own horses breeding. Many of the horses and |
| breeders names you will see on these pages are no longer current but they may be the breeder of a horse |
| you own, or the sire of a mare you own. |
| . |
| In time, this will become a valuable tool for sport horse breeders and buyers looking for the best horses |
| possible for their purposes. There are still quite a few gaps in the information that is being put up on this |
| website. But it is a start. And if you can help fill in or correct details, please get in touch. |
| . |
| Eventually this information will be a two way communication process. At the moment, is it view only |
| bloodlines on the website. In time, you will be able to update your own information online. At this stage, |
| we are putting what we can on the web as html pages - a tedious process but better than what has |
| happened before! A full online register will be an expensive proposition so can only go ahead as interest in |
| the Register warrants it. |
