How do I look up a horse's pedigree? ›

Pedigrees for Thoroughbreds as well as many other horses can be found at www.allbreedpedigree.com, though care should be taken to verify all pedigrees. Like the well-known Wikipedia website, www.allpedigree.com allows users to input data, which may or may not be precise.

Check the breed association website.

If you know your horse's breed, it shouldn't be difficult to find its breed association with a quick search engine query. Oftentimes, breed registry websites will offer limited pedigree services for free, though some charge a minor fee.

Pedigree refers to a horse's family tree, with its paternal ancestors- sire/father – on the top, and its maternal ancestors – dam/mother – on the bottom. A horse's pedigree provides insight into its potential ability and value as well as what type of racing your horse will be most suited to.

When reading Quarter Horse pedigrees, remember that the sire will be on top, and the dam will be on the bottom. The tree reads from left to right, with each successive generation branching out. The dam's mother is known as the second dam, and her mother is the third dam, etc.

Another way to determine what breed of horse you own would be to look at its pedigree.

If your horse is not registered with a specific breed organization, this becomes more difficult.

There are also several online resources such as the Horse & Pony Database that allow members to upload and trace their horse's family history. Even just establishing the full name of your horse is invaluable as most UK studs and breeders have a registered prefix which is added to horses they've bred.
