RE: [RC] The 'X' Factor (was: Mitochondiral DNA, etc.) - bobmorrisA couple of years ago Salim Nice and I did a study of registered Arabs competing in the AERC rides. We investigated the lineage for six generations back and determined the number of times a particular horse appeared. Did both Sires and dams. If any one is interested I can put it up as an insert to an e-mail on line. I can do it in MS Access or MSWord or both. It did prove quite interesting and dispelled certain myths as well.

Not difficult to recreate at all--just go through the lists of horses that start rides and do a pedigree breakdown on all of them. With the AERC records from the years since they started listing pulls and the Arab DataSource, it is not difficult to do at all--it is very time-consuming and does take a knowledge of which horses are what, though, the latter being lacking in some of the cases where people have done this on a small scale and not been able to see the forest for the trees, so to speak. Heidi ============================================================ This weekend, many of you are at rides...25's, 50's or 100's. You are the lucky ones. I know you did whatever you had to do to get to 'em. I know that each of you go to 'em with different so-called "goals" in mind...but I also know that each of you cares for your horse and realize that "carrying you" is the least of what he/she does for you. LIFTING YOU is the true effect. ~ Ryder ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================ ===========================================================Of course things aren't perfect, perfect doesn't exist on this earth. Doesn't mean we won't go on trying to get better at what we do. Besides, if everything was perfect today, what would you do tomorrow? Slamming each other doesn't get anything done. ~ Dot Wiggins ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
