Announcing
WikiHorseWorld Pedigree System!
The USMMA has adopted Wiki as its official pedigree and
registration system replacing HorseManager.com whose registration program had stopped functioning several months ago with no fix in sight.
WikiHorseWorld’s pedigree system is state-of-the-art and features interactive pedigree charts and unlimited
photos, videos, and details for every horse. WikiHorseWorld software was provided at no cost to the USMMA. However, the trade-off is that they will post ads on these pedigree pages. We are still in development with them, but it is working today.
The pedigree system is embedded into our website by clicking VIEW PEDIGREE under the REGISTRY tab.
www.namarchador.org/registry/view-pedigree
On this screen will be a listing of all the horses in our database, including those in the background of our horses.
On the right-hand side is a box where you can search by the name of the horse to get a specific horse, or by the gender to sell all stallions, or by association to see only USMMA horses etc. We will be customizing this box over time so the selection
criteria fits better and we don’t see all breeds and all associations in the selection menu.
Now search for a horse that is in our database: Bossa Nova de Miami is one that shows what information is possible about your horse.
You should be able
to view Bossa Nova’s horse details, view the pedigree or print the pedigree. You can also see her offspring
listed as well. You can click on any horse in the pedigree to get more information (whatever we have)
on that horse.
Because HorseManager
has stopped support, we will have to re-enter all of our horses. We are starting immediately
beginning with horses with the letter A. While we have only 200+ Mangalarga Marchadors in North America, their pedigree information makes this a task of entering over 1200 horses! Lynn Kelley, our current Registrar, will be entering all history over the next three months. Please be patient – all the information on your horse may not be there right away. Check back often to see the progress!
Currently, WikiHorseWorld only allows the administrator (registrar) to enter data, but they are working on opening the system so that when you log in to namarchador.org, you will be able to add photos and videos on your horses. For the initial loading of the database, we will upload at least one photo from horsemanager.com. Once the feature is available that allows the owner to add or change photos, you can update your horse’s record.
The registration process remains the same. This system just replaces horsemanager.com. The Registrar will
continue to enter the pedigree information, registration number and DNA.
Plans for the future include adding a Classified Ads section that works with this pedigree system so that you may list horses for sale and perhaps more horse-related items for sale.
