A pedigree records a horse's parentage. The Canterlands registry connects horses with their sire, dam, and available family information, helping players understand the lineage behind their breeding decisions.
Open a horse's registry entry
Use /swem info near a horse or while riding it, then follow the registry link in chat. You can also browse the horse directory. A horse must be loaded for routine registry updates; the in-game information command can request an update.
Read the family tree
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sire | The horse's father |
| Dam | The horse's mother |
| Offspring | Foals whose records identify this horse as a parent |
Missing family records are gaps in available data, not evidence of unrelated ancestry. Use the registry alongside the horse's current in-game information.
Pedigrees and genetics
A family tree and a genetic test answer different questions. Parentage shows lineage; available genetic information helps explain inherited traits and risks. Read horse genetics and the current breeding rules before breeding.
