Not really.
Someone or some organization should work on some type of unified database where you get a much more complete picture of a horse, his descendants, history etc.
What organization do you think would be willing to take on this very expensive project that would probably have little or no real monetary payback? Don't get me wrong I think it would be great too but I just don't see where the $ would come from.
Who's ready to tackle this job? If fact...why can't we just have one association and number horses 'NA' for North America instead of horses having a Canadian and US registration? It's time has come, free trade and all. Lets get together and give people the whole picture.
The NFHR will register (and does) Canadian horses. Of course the Canadian Registry will also register US horses. Not sure what the answer is.
