Pedigree and inspection

Currently, the Irish Draught inspection scores includes pedigree. In a rare breed that is threatened by the lack of diversity in its bloodlines, I believe that it is essential to include the pedigree in the inspections. The inclusion of the pedigree in the scoring draws attention to the fact that pedigree is an important part of preserving the breed. I don't believe a horse should pass or fail because of its pedigree, but breeders need to have some kind encouragement for retaining entire colts from old bloodlines for inspection. If scoring the pedigree plays even a tiny part in that encouragement I would hate to see it abandoned by any short sighted people.
