The Virginia Horse - Enter People

ENTER PEOPLE is the page to enter data about a person or business. It is also the primary place where information about a particular person or business can be found. Before a person or business can be used on the HORSE ENTRY page, their information must be entered here. Enter whatever information is known. The minimal entry is the name and some involvement in the Virginia horse industry.

NOTE: If the breeder, owner, trainer or agent is a farm, set up a separate entry for the business. DO NOT include the name of a person (i.e., Last Name should be blank) in this entry. Then the business name can be used on the HORSE ENTER DATA page.
