thanks for your post.
What i'm trying to achieve is to build a genealogical php tree for horses extracting data from the tables described above. That would be the same for humans, and everytime you go deep the tree you can be able to see , who's your father, mother, grandparents and so on.

i can't help thinking that a flat table structure is better. you're going to have the same entity in multiple tables. I recall writing a bloodstock database about 20 years ago - it was a flat file then but worked well.
anyway, i think Clive was really asking what you mean by a "tree". are you looking for a graphical representation, or a straightforward collection of textual statements with links but no graphical rendition, or what? how many levels up and down do you want to show?
do you always start from a descendant and work into the ancestors or from a given horse, do you want the ancestors and the descendants?

i'm confused
to question two you replied as many levels down as possible.
to question three you replied that you want the ancestors (i.e. up).
can you clarify?
also for each level up or down, do you want to show each of the other horse's trees or just the direct lineage?
