Printing from two table within a loop

Help please .....

I am printing data using a loop form one table ... this wirks fine .. now I need to print data based on the record I'm printing at the time .. my code pulls data from the second table but it pulls the same data for every record ...  I'm sure I need a loop within the loop but I can't get it to work .. HELLLLLLLLLLLLP !!!

here is my existing code

$query = "SELECT * FROM horses WHERE status = 'accepted' ORDER BY lot_num";
$results = mysql_query($query)
or die(mysql_error());

?>
<table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr><td><b>Lot</b></td><td><b>Horse</b></td><td><b>Bid</b></td><td><b>Status</b></td><td><b>Closing Time</b></td></tr>
<?php
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)) {
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td valign=top rowspan=2>" . $row['lot_num'] . "</td>\n";
echo "<td valign=top rowspan=2><a href='details.php?horse_name=" . $row['horse_name'] . "'>" . $row['horse_name'] . "<br>\n";
echo "<img src='foalpics/" .$row['main_pic']. "' width='75px' alt='" . $row['main_pic'] . "'></td>\n";
echo "<td valign=top height=15>$" . $row['bid'] . "</td>\n";
echo "<td valign=top height=15>" . $row['bidding_status'] . "</td>\n";
echo "<td valign=top height=15>". $row['closing_date'] . " " . $row['closing_time'] . "</td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";

$pedquery = "SELECT * FROM pedigree, horses WHERE pedigree.horseID = '" . $_SESSION['horseID'] . "' AND horses.horseID = '" . $_SESSION['horseID'] . "'";
$pedresults = mysql_query($pedquery)
     or die(mysql_error());
$ped = mysql_fetch_array($pedresults);

echo "<tr><td colspan=3 height=55>" . $ped['S_Name'] . " X "  . $ped['DS_Name'].  " X " . $ped['DDS_Name'] . " </td></tr>\n";

 next($bids);
}
?>

I need to pick the pedigree information based on each horse so the horse id from the first query.

No problem =)
Your code looked so clean and efficient that I thought it would be something simple like that.
I like to see clean code like you have there, keep it up.
