Teaser needs a girl friend!

[Tallabred]

I have an adorable paint shetland stallion that has a wonderful personality. He is a wonderful teaser for my TB's but he needs some action!

Do you have a mare that would like a date? :D Buddy is 10.2 hands tall.

[Mozart]

Does Buddy need a REAL girlfriend? Wouldn't a reasonable facsimile do? :lol:

[Tallabred]

No - He wants the real thing!:winkgrin:

[pwynnnorman]

Does he want her to move in with him, or is he jsut looking for a one night stand (or so)?

[Windswept Stable]

Does he want her to move in with him, or is he jsut looking for a one night stand (or so)?

Thats funny!

I bet he won't mind--day OR night--or both~!

[okggo]

I've always felt a bit sorry for teasers. A friend of mine had an aged and rather cripled (broke his pelvis on the track) stud he used as a teaser. Time and time and time again he would get so excited, get the mares to the point of utter ripeness and then some other guy comes in and does the deed. And hormones undoubtedly take over any brain functions b/c you would think after the 20+ time he would say "uh huh, I'm not falling for it this time."

Can you buy a little pony filly to keep with him? Then he has a friend and gets a little piece now and again. Of course you would have to decide if you really want a pony foal every year. Maybe a little pony sized female mule??? No baby worries then!

Mabel is CUTE :D

[eqsiu]

Maybe you could collect him for AI and then not use the semen? It would be about the same thing. He would get some action, but you wouldn't need to find him a girlfriend.

It would be the teaser pony blow-up doll.

Of the many things that appall my husband about the breeding of horses, this is very high on the list. Pretty much right behind the gelding of colts.

[Waterwitch]

I know someone who kept their breeding stallion with a molly mule and he was very happy. I would think that would be a perfect idea for a teaser companion if you could find one small enough.

[TwoDreamRides]

Would it be wrong to say that Mabel is a nice piece of @$$?

Crack Up :lol:

Do they have mini AI mounts?? What a hoot.

[Tallabred]

I love all of your suggestions. Mabel is adorable. I might contact them. Buddy is a chestnut and white paint pony with a perfect star on the end of his nose. He has a wonderful sweet personality so I would not mind having a baby of his or someone else having a baby of his.

I have thought about breeding him to my small chestnut TB but my daughter said that we would have a thoroshet or a shetbred.

If someone has a girl friend for buddy she could hang out here for as long as she would like. Last time I was in Ohio I was going to look for a pony but the weather turned on me and I had to head for home early.

[siegi b.]

I have a little problem with this whole "issue"..... Why would anybody put another horse/pony on this earth just so that a teaser stallion could have "the real thing"?

Aren't there enough horses out there that people can't get rid off? Sure, let's add to that with a thoroshet or shetbred... Just what the world needs... NOT!

[Tallabred]

I am sorry that I printed our "humor". I had said that I liked the idea of Mabel. I also said what a wonderful temperment he has.

Maybe you should go and post with Lora - she also seems to like to dump her negative attitude on every post she can type on.

I hope your Easter gets merrier.:yes: Maybe you just started your day off in a bad way. Sorry :cry:

[MagicRoseFarm]

He could be bred , and then the mare recycled to avoid a pregnancy....

You sound like a responsible breeder for the TB business, concerned for the wellbeing of your little guy who earns his keep with an appropriate "job".

Unfortunately some people are so narrow minded that they can only see a situation from their own judgemental angle.

I love it. Its so nice to see that someone can put another in their place. Happy Easter

[siegi b.]

Tallabred - Humor? I guess you're right... I find humor in your statement that the teaser has a good temperament. :-) That sure makes it ok to breed.. :-)

And if trying to prevent another unnecessary creation of a horse mutt that will be forgotten in somebody's backyard is "negative attitude dumping" then so be it.

Grow up and happy Easter, little girl! :-)

[MagicRoseFarm]

for pete's sake Seigi take some drugs, have a drink , or better yet, go see your doctor-they have made huge advancements in hormonal treatment for menopausal mood swing control.

In case you have not noticed, you are an embarrassment to yourself.

[Tallabred]

You said it all Magic Rose.

Seigi, I have not been called a little girl in a loooong time - Thank You!!!:D

Back to the meaning of my thread. . .

I still would like to find a friend for my little guy. Not just so that he can breed but so he could have a companion. When we first got him he stayed with our weanlings but the following year he was to much of a boy protecting his mares so we could not do that anymore. He also was to pushy and nippy with our gelding pony (14 hands) so I split them up.

I love this little guy - he dances with me when I lead him in - however I move my feet he will match it. His mane was a shetland mess so it is mohawked and he looks like a trojan horse.

He gets a little grain, daily wormer, hay and vitamins everyday. He is also excercised everyday - sometimes in the ring - sometimes for a walk to get the paper. Other people walk their dogs - I walk my pony.

I have enjoyed everyones suggestions and I hope that everyone has a wonderful Easter.:)

[Donna D]

This is so good, Best easter giggles I had in a long time.

[siegi b.]

Magic Rose - thanks for worrying about me.... Also, I'm glad you have such an education (so much experience?) when it comes to hormonal treatments. :-)

Happy Easter to you, too!

my section B lives with a gelded jack....they get on quite well...not being a "horse" the jack does not engender any of the animosity that a "normal" gelding would/does from him....and he does have all the pony ego in the world:)

[Windswept Stable]

A perfect match would be a girlfriend with infertility.

Hence, Mabel!

Seriously, if I had a place of my own I would snatch her up. She is just so cute!

I could not agree with this more. She is way too cute, the price is right, should be low maintenance....and trained no less!

[Tallabred]

I sent a response to Mabel's add but I have not heard back yet. I would have to get a cart to go with Mabel - that would just be sooooo cute!:D

You would HAVE to post pictures of that!!!!!

[Tallabred]

Mabel's owner does not want her to go so far from home so that is not going to work.:(

I am confused by siegi b's comment about a good temperment in a shetland teaser does not make him worthy of breeding. Buddy has perfect conformation and coloring - so what would you look for to breed a small pony? I am also confused by her mutt comment - aren't warmbloods mutts? What would be wrong with having a TB/shetland cross? They might produce a wonderful medium pony.

The search goes on for a friend for Buddy.:)

Sorry Mabel would not work.

I would not waste one second of my time pondering any opinion held by Seigi,and I think the entire board will agree. While the rest of our warmbloods evolved from a variety of breeds, Seigi's were beamed down from heaven or some similar sh*t.

As for the cross, we are all hoping to have Shetland and Tb blood on our Olympic EVenting Team in the form of our own beloved Teddy Oconnor.

[Diamantcats]

:) good luck finding partner to little man..
Im so curious that I could love to see him at picture ;)
Yeah Mabel was cute , sad that didnt work but maybe theres another little nearer?

[Mozart]

Surely someone in Florida has a mini mule mare they would part with:

I can just see your ad now:
WANTED:
Mini mule mare to act as concubine to over-sexed but good natured shetland stallion. Must be infertile and like short, multi-coloured randy guys and walks to the mail box. Will receive excellent care and lots of loving. Nudge nudge wink wink say no more.

[EquusMagnificus]

What about finding a cute small pony mare and having it spayed? That would do the trick... :yes:

[Kyzteke]

Well, all hormone comments aside, I'm afraid I have to agree alot with Siegli (sp?). Good, registered horses are going for free (a Paint breeder just recently offered to give away 30 of her 55 horses to good homes because she can no longer afford to feed them), so we really don't need to bring more in unless their bloodlines/performance records are pretty outstanding.

And you really DON'T want to bring more horses in the world just to satisfy the urges of one teaser stallion.

The world is full of ponies with good temperaments, so that really can't be his only selling point.

But, if your teaser is so great, and a registered Shetland, then buy another registered Shetland and let them produce one foal a year. Maybe there is a market for them.

OR follow the suggestions of others and simply collect the little guy every month or so. You can build a mini-phantom for less than $150 (I built a horse size one for $250). Then you can have 1 or 2 or the pregnant TB mares spend the year with him. And he will have his companions.

Or continue the search for a mini-mule....

It's nice to know that someone had a molly mule as a companion for their stallion -- I've thought of the same thing for mine.

[faluut42]

I really like the idea of a mini mule mare. No foals, they are easy to keep, and since hes only a teaser you don't have to worry about EVA or other STDs passing to outside mares. :D

And if you decide to collect the stallion (although that seems like it might get a bit old after a while), a friend of mine has her Welsh stallion out with 2 donkeys. She had originally put her other 2 year old WB colt out together but they didnt get long so instead she put him out with the donkeys. The donkeys don't pick fights.

yes but...you do have the small concern of the molly getting infections from repeated (and pointless) penetrations.....

[MagicRoseFarm]

Here is a pic of Tallbred's "Buddy" during one of his excercise sessions with Mom... I hope my homebred warmbloods all jump this good when grown up!!!!

Talla, He makes me wish I was still into small ponies!! He is soo cute!!

I had the best 10.2 hand Shetland once, was broke to cart when we bought him, he drove so well you could take him on the highway with trucker traffic and he just kept motoring along. Within a year he was trucking around the 2' hunter pony courses with an auto lead change and kicking everyone's butt!! IF you stood at the end of the ring , all you could see over the jumps was his tiny ears coming towards you, then POOF, a whole pony, so we named him Abracadabra for showing. The judges were ALWAYS smiling after watching him go.

He is now at the Leone's babysitting grandchildren and teaching the tiny ones to ride and jump, which I am sure will be his job for many more years as they stay healthy and strong so long :)

[Fairview Horse Center]

OH, my GOSH! What a CUTIE!!! Wish I had a date for him!

[pony grandma]

OMG! He is ADORABLE!*!* Don't you just enjoy hugging him!

I keep a pony (have a gaggle of kids who enjoy him) but he's really FOR ME, like that's a secret.

[Tallabred]

Thank you Magic Rose for posting the picture.

Buddy is hugable and he is all mine. We have our little routine together when we walk or really dance in from his personal pasture. :)

I think that I will find him a little chestnut or paint mare the next time I am up in Ohio.

[SmokenMirrors]

I love all of your suggestions. Mabel is adorable. I might contact them. Buddy is a chestnut and white paint pony with a perfect star on the end of his nose. He has a wonderful sweet personality so I would not mind having a baby of his or someone else having a baby of his.

There is more to breeding than a sweet personality and a nice color and coat. There is conformation, how is he set up? Does he move well? Other than being a teaser, what is his personality? Do you have the room? The time to raise a foal? How about if something goes wrong, do you have the funds to call the vet and deal with any and all emergencies that may arise? How about training the foal when it reaches maturity?

The horse market right now for anything is pretty low, prices aren't what they use to be and why bring even more animals into the world when we have enough now as it is? Sorry but that is rather irresponsible to do so just because you "think" your pony is cute and has a nice coat!

[Tallabred]

Buddy is a teaser because I breed racing TB's. All live cover with appointments to be made 3 to 4 days in advance to get to the quality stallion we breed to. Our stud fees range from 10K to 30K. My vet bills run from 5K to 20K a year depending on how many I am breeding. I still have babies that never made it to the track, I keep my mares until they go over the rainbow even if they only have only 1 foal or none. I refuse to get a mare pregnant again just to put her back in the auction to get rid of her - even though I have purchased mares that that has been done with and I still have them. I breed for quality. Last year my colt, Power of Freedom, was in the top 100 for the derby! It was exciting - but I still try to keep in touch so that they know he will always have a home to come to. Ask Jessi P - I bother her all the time because my boy, Truly False, is up in Mountaineer and ready to come off the track.

There is more to breeding than a sweet personality and a nice color and coat. No S**t
There is conformation, how is he set up? Does he move well? Perfect for his breed.
Other than being a teaser, what is his personality? Look at your first comment or other posts - Dah
Do you have the room? 45 acres - His own personal pasture.
The time to raise a foal? Raised 4 at a time - all TB along with sales prep
How about if something goes wrong, do you have the funds to call the vet and deal with any and all emergencies that may arise? Covered above. Maybe you do not understand what a teaser does.
How about training the foal when it reaches maturity?Again covered above. If you do not know what a teaser does or what his purpose is you really should not be posting such crap.

The horse market right now for anything is pretty low, prices aren't what they use to be and why bring even more animals into the world when we have enough now as it is? Sorry but that is rather irresponsible to do so just because you "think" your pony is cute and has a nice coat! So I guess that EVERYONE who breeds any animal is irresponsible to you. I sell my TB's in the 30K to 100K range. I could care less about $ for Buddy's offspring - they will probably never leave here. I wish you and all of the other posters would stop preaching to the choir. Do you really think that COTH members are here because the do not care for their horses. This is my last long post to respond to a rude, unneccessary, uneducated comment.

I will for now on post: BLAH BLAH BLAH - Take your negativity somewhere else!

[pony grandma]

I don't think that Belplosh read the entire post. If they had it is very obvious that you are NOT a backyard breeder and are quite and very capable!! of responsible horse stewardship. Your pony is A+ quality.

I can't wrap my mind around their post that, if you are using a teaser = you have mares to tease, that it follows that you know nothing about handling, care, vet fees and don't have room for a small animal. What???

We all already know about the state of today's horse problems but it's redunant and not pertinent to this post. A nice little pony will always find a good home and can be kept very thrifty. Not even the point here since you would keep it for yourself and have the means. No one else's business so to speak.

[Tallabred]

Thank you Pony Grandma. My whole purpose of starting this thread was that I thought maybe I could find someone with a mare that they would like to breed. No money to exchange just a fun project to bring some smiles.

To allow Buddy to breed would improve his job. He is a wonderful teaser. A Claiborne Farm breeding barn employee was very impressed by how Buddy handled my TB mares. She said that it is hard to find a teaser that can sing that perfect song to mares so much bigger than him.

My search will go on.

[Donna D]

From what I have been reading and its not all of the posts,it seems that this one breeding to this pony is going to upset the whole equine industry. This person that wants this pony to have a girlfriend,is totally out of order for wanting this. I read, people want this person to breed to a mare that won't concieve etc. For Gods sake don't let it have a foal. All this concern about the amount of horses on this planet. Most of it comeing from the rescue people that want to save every horse that is slaughterhouse bound. Why don't the warmblood people start to decline their breeding of horses that some will tell you are sooooo well bred. BUT they are sooooo high priced that nobody can afford them. The ones that can would rather spend that extra money on bringing some more from over the pond. That and all these others that breed the so called sporthorses. Now don't you, the original poster breed your teaser, that would be sooooo awful.

[Kyzteke]

Well, the advantage of the low market is that good mares can be had for a pittence. So buy little Buddy a registered pony mare and let them produce one foal a year. Or follow Pwynn's example and breed him to a small TB mare.

Of course, that means he only "gets lucky" once or twice a year...not much help is it? Collecting him would reduce the frustration more often. It's really not hard and you could either use a jump (pony) mare or a phantom. 3-4 times a season would do it, I would think -- for a teaser you WANT that libido high.

So, since you are well acquainted with the TB world, what do other farms do for their teasers?

I was under the impression that many of them go years with out breeding. I had a pony teaser once for 3 years but it really didn't work well. He had been a breeding stallion himself once (also Shetland) and after the first season he started to get really mean towards the mares if he couldn't breed. They, in turn, stopped teasing to him (at least about half did). It was a big PITA all the way around.

Good luck with little Buddy. He is a cutey.

[jetsmom]

Maybe you could just get D.Spink to come visit him monthly....Ewwww..Bad humor, I know.:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

[Tallabred]

On the big farms they use full size teasers or one of their breeding stallions that they need to tease to get their libido up.

I did not realize how valuable Buddy was as a teaser until one of the big Kentucky farms offered me $3K for him! He was sold to me with the knowledge that I would not sell him. Buddy had been actively breeding before I got him and he is still a wonderful teaser.

He is very good at working his magic. When I take him up to a mare he gives this little rumbling whinny to get their attention. When they come over he huffs and puffs into their nose and then will lick at them. If they are interested they will fall apart. If they are not interested or nasty Buddy will shake his head and we go on. He will call to his girls from across the pastures.

The competition for his attentions is good for the mares - it gets their libido in the right place. I have never spent more than $1K on vet bills to get a mare pregnant and that would be a difficult mare. Siegi's post of $12K to breed 4 mares was amazing to me.

As Claiborne Farms told me - a good teaser is worth their weight in gold.

[Jessi P]

I can certainly add that Tallabred has been bugging me every few months to make sure I keep reminding Truely False's owner/trainer that he has a home eagerly awaiting for him when he is done racing. :) :yes::yes::yes:

Buddy is adorable!! :):winkgrin: I love his form over fences. I am such a sucker for a cute pony.

Hopewell Farm in Ky had an awesome teaser pony when I was there last (2001 or so). He looked like a paint/Welsh cross and was just too cute. He was a medium or large pony (not a small but not horse sized), and he wore a leather "condom" or bib that covered his entire belly/underside and kept his "boy parts" contained and out of the way. I really wanted to send the kids' pony at the time (a haffie mare) to be bred to him when I sent the 2 TB mares down, I figured he could use a bit of action after so much frustration. :winkgrin: But it was just an idea, and I haven't been to Ky for 6-7 years so it's possible he is no longer there.

Talla I have this TB chestnut sabeeeeennnooo mare I have been casually pony shopping for - what a shame they are so far apart!

Now I see what mares see in him ;)
You maybe should get little pure shetland out of him :yes:

[Alagirl]

(actually, for a small pony personality is the biggest asset anyhow!:lol: But what do I know...:D)

[Tallabred]

Alagirl - I thought the same thing! Buddy is a complete package. I contacted Mary, who I bought Buddy from, and she is going to look for a girl friend for him too.:)

[Alagirl]

:) he is a cuty!

[Styric]

Contact local TB farms and ask if any of them have any old barren broodmares. There are a few sitting around though most go to slaughter. That way not only does he get a mare, you don't get foals AND you rescue an old girl who should be spending her retirement in pampered luxury..
