Pedigree Cross Index

This Pedigree Cross Index allows a breeder to nick, inbreed or outcross his broodmares by easy reference. Indexed are the names of sires and dams included within the first three generations of all the stallions in the 2013 Stallion Directory.

Example: A.P. INDY - Evangelism, Gandhi, Hunt Crossing, Three Chopt Road

In the above example, A.P. Indy appears in one of the first 3 generations of all the stallions listed after him.

Suppose a breeder has a mare that is a granddaughter of Mr. Prospector or has crosses of that sire in a mare’s pedigree. He may want to breed her to a stallion with Northern Dancer blood to take advantage of the Northern Dancer--Mr. Prospector nick. By looking up “Northern Dancer” in this index, he can quickly see all the stallions in this register that have Northern Dancer appearing in one of the first three generations of their pedigrees.

If a breeder’s mare is a granddaughter of Seattle Slew, he may wish to inbreed to that stallion and thereby get more of Seattle Slew’s makeup in the foal. By checking “Seattle Slew” in the index, the breeder can readily find all the advertised stallions that have Seattle Slew in their pedigrees.

What if a breeder’s mare is already inbred or linebred? She might have 2 or 3 crosses of Deputy Minister in her first four generations for example. The breeder may want to make sure the stallion he chooses for his mare has no Deputy Minister or no Deputy Minister up close in his pedigree. By looking up “Deputy Minister” in the index, he can readily see the stallions in this Stallion Register he should avoid for his mare.
