Nimbus8

Postby SecondChance » Sun Nov 25, 2007 9:09 am

I'm trying to find out information on Nimbus8. I don't know anything about researching pedigrees and when I enter this horse nothing really comes up. What does this mean? How would I be able to find out anything about the horse? Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks!

If you referring to the eighth 'Nimbus' entry that was in this database, from what little was there - name and birthdate - the entry was unlikely to belong to a registered Thoroughbred. I was unable to find a horse registered as 'Nimbus' within the last thirty years (unless one was registered somewhere like Greece or the Phillipines - but with no pedigre info I could not even begin to guess).

That entry was just a 'place holder', so to speak - the user who entered the name would have had to add parentage, birthdate, etc., the database does not do so automatically. :)

Thanks so much! I was just curious because I thought maybe it was my horse. I know nothing of his past or breeding. Just that he has definite Thoroughbred breeding. The name and birth year added up. He is not tattooed either- Thanks for the info. :D
