How important are pedigrees in assessing a horse's potential in eventing?

✨ Calling All Eventing Enthusiasts! Let's Dive Into a Riveting Discussion! ✨

The World Championships for young eventing horses came to an end just recently, leaving us with a fascinating puzzle.

In a sport where bloodlines and pedigrees are said to be key, how do we determine the superiority of stud books when a significant number of young horses at the Mondial du Lion at Le Lion d'Angers were missing out on their pedigrees? 🤔

Questions to Ponder:

• Can performance alone be a reliable measure of a horse's lineage?
• What strategies can be employed to ensure that there is accurate pedigree data available for licensed horses?
• Should there be stricter regulations on pedigree disclosure ahead of any eventual championship participation?
