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.

The notation "AQPS" indicates the horse is classified as "Autres de Que Pur Sang," in other words, "Other than Thoroughbred." It usually applies to horses with Selle Francais breeding in the dam line.
