The notation "hb" indicates the horse was considered a "Half-bred"--somewhere in its lineage a horse not entered in the General Stud Book appeared. Some half-bred female families were traced, recorded and subsequently designated with a "B" before a number. See Half-Bred Foundation Mares for more information. In some cases, the horse's dam or her lineage was traced, but not assigned a number, and in some cases the dam or lineage simply is not now known.
