There are two scenarios for adding a new horse to your Prism portal:

1. Add a Named Horse, where you search by the horse's name or part of its name;
2. Add an Unnamed Horse, where you search first by the horse's dam, then by its sire.

Both of these actions are performed in the Add Horse screen, accessible via one of two ways:

1. Click on the green  button, then select Horse; or
2. From the Horse menu, click on the Add Horse button  in the left menu.
