Hello, is there any way you can identify the name of the conduit mare at the bottom of the page? Also, how does one go about identifying the conduit mare? Thanks!

Did you include the name of the mare?

As I understand the theory, you need to pull up the pedigree, then start going back along the bottom to the mare that is closest to 1900. That would be the conduit mare.

If someone more familiar with Bill's work want to chime in, now would be the time.

Basically Xfactor is right. In his book, Bill has a complete list of the conduits. His explantions are easy to understand and the book is well formatted and easily reference. Didn't I see that he was publishing/selling some limited copies. I have one. It is well worth the investment. You can email Bill and see if he has one or two books still available.

Upon checking this email for Bill it might not be valid as the website is down.

Go to Bill from WA's last post about the books on the General Board and see if you can't get his attention. He says that the PM's don't work for him, but I was able to get through to him by PM a year or so back.

Here is his mailing address: William Lathrop, P. O. Box 310, Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043
