NEW DataSource User Tips
Inquiry
: Before, I could specify if I wanted to see progeny of a stallion's daughters in a two-generation search. Now, a two-generation search cannot be sorted by sex, one just gets all the offspring of both sons and daughters.
Answer: DataSource no longer limits progeny lists by the gender of first and second generations. When looking at the Progeny detail of our new DataSource, we support the sorting of data by any of the selected columns. This sorting is accomplished by clicking on the respective column header. When displaying a progeny listing you can sort by gender which will sort first generation progeny by gender so all daughters will be grouped together. This hopefully still shows your data while simplifying the progeny search page for our casual users.

Sweepstakes Last Chance Buy-In
Enrollment will be available until October 15 for the Last Chance Buy-In for Sweepstakes. This program is for any horse(s) that were not entered into the Sweepstakes Program.
This one-time nomination makes your horse eligible to compete at the 18 Regional Championship Shows, Canadian Nationals, Sport Horse Nationals and U.S. Nationals in Sweepstakes designated classes and Jackpots (qualifications may be required in some classes). The only classes not eligible to the Original Entry category are the Sweepstakes Yearling Halter classes which are reserved for Breeding Entries only.
The Original Entry category is open to any horse that is registered with the Arabian Horse Association or the Canadian Registries. Your horse does not have to be by a Sweepstakes Nominated Sire or out of a Sweepstakes Nominated Dam to enroll.
This is your last chance to buy in to the Sweepstakes Program for those not previously enrolled!
