Excerpt from The Register of the American Saddle-Horse Breeders' Association (Incorporated), Vol. 1: Published by Authority of the Association for Entry of Pedigrees of Saddle Horses in America It was with many misgivings of my ability to properly compile. And edit this the first volume of the Register of the National saddle-horse Breeders' Association, that I was prevailed upon to undertake the work. In the first place I doubted my ability to do this work in an acceptable manner. Even if I had the time. And was convinced that, had I the capacity for the work. I would not have sufficient time to devote to it. Again. I recognized that no matter how much time I should give to it, or how faithfully I should endeavor to prevent errors and omissions, they were both sure to creep in. This being the initial work of a new organ ization. Its promoters were not educated up to the point of perfection. The whole foundation of a registration for saddle-horses had to be laid, and its construction has been confined to such material as was at hand - often crude and' poorly assorted. Owners were often ignorant of the pedigrees of their stock beyond the sires and dams. Sometimes they were driven for facts to the bills of stallion owners, carelessly prepared as to pedigrees, and occasionally purposely incorrect. It has been the purpose of the compiler, as far as possible. To straighten out these tangled pedi grees. Another bother has been the several names given to the same horse. For instance. The stallion best known. And registered as Diamond Denmark No. 68, has been given in some localities the names of Gay's Denmark and Gay's Diamond Others have borne two or three different names in different places. The Revisory Committee has taken the name most common and so registered a number of the noted old sires not now alive, so that, having them numbered. They may be fully identified in future. Again owners have mistaken the meaning of the blanks, and in some cases given the breeding of the dam of the sire of the animal entered instead of that of the dam herself. This has been corrected wherever detected, but it may be some cases of this kind have escaped notice. A few cases occur where pedigrees have been given incorrectly, not with the intention of wronging anyone. But because the owner has been deceived or is mistaken. There may be cases also of misspelling of names. As the name of a family is often spelled differently in different localities. For instance. Pharoah. Faro and Farrow are generally taken to mean the same family of horses - the latter name being probably correct.
