How Community Contributions Work
Simple steps to help improve our data
Quick Start
Open any horse, exhibitor, owner or breeder profile and press Suggest changes. The page's fields turn into boxes you can edit right there; change what is wrong, review your changes, and send them in one go.
-
Find Information to Update
Browse horse, exhibitor, owner and breeder profiles. When something is wrong or missing, you can suggest a change from the profile itself.
What you can change:
- A horse's registration number, breed, gender, color and foal date
- A horse's sire, dam, current owner and breeder, picked from our records
- The spelling of a horse's, exhibitor's, owner's or breeder's name
- A new owner, breeder, sire or dam we don't have yet: type the name and choose "Add new"
Horse spelling corrections go through an individual identity review. Include registration or pedigree evidence in the same suggestion; correcting a name never merges horses or moves results.
-
Review and Send
Press Review to see every change side by side with what the record says now. Add a note or attach a photo or PDF if you like, then send them all together. You need a verified email address to send suggestions.
Tip: Evidence such as registration papers or a show program helps the moderator check your suggestion.
-
Review & Approval
A moderator reviews every suggestion and may approve all of it, some of it, or none. A new owner, breeder, sire or dam is only added to our records when it is approved.
Approved changes are applied to the record straight away. You can follow each suggestion, or cancel one still waiting, on My submissions once you sign in.
