The Dutch don't brand until the horse is presented for studbook at age 3 or older - and that is in the US. In the Netherland, as in Germany, branding is no longer done and hasn't been in quite some...

Dressage4ever - Roentgenbildbeurteilung - means radiological findings. So I have a feeling you didn't look at the horse's name but rather his vet report. :)

P.S.: My vote goes to Rascalo, or...

I agree that colic symptoms should not be taken lightly, but I also think that if you know your mare you can tell the difference between her having a belly ache and being in a lot of pain.

In my...

Contango who went to Grand Prix in Dressage and quite successfully, had sickle hocks and passed them on. That didn't keep many people from breeding to him (myself included). :)

But then again,...

JB, I've had late term mares go off their feed and think it goes along with the foal growing so quickly during that time. There sometimes just doesn't seem to be enough room for anything and that's...

Thank you again, Anthony!! This is such great information, and watching the video was incredibly educational as well.

My best horses are almost all chestnut and I could sell them all day long because they are of such good quality.

I have always bred them at 3 years - mostly with frozen semen - and it's always been successful.

That said, last year I tried to get my then 3-year old Florencio mare bred to Sir Donnerhall and...

One of my 2008 models is quite butt high right now as well..... I think it's pretty typical for them to go through another growth spurt going into their 3rd year. Just wait until the grass comes in...

By the way, thank you guys for all the "G" name suggestions.... There are some good ones! (I have started a list)

Sorry, Anthony, for not getting back to you sooner.... but yes, that's what I meant. I'm a "music person" and started playing the piano at age 6, so it's something that has always been with me.

Two, and I believe they're both due in April if I'm not mistaken (need to look that up)....

Contango x Doruto to Jazz
Wanroij x Oran (my Gelders mare) to Jazz

This is the "G" year for the...

So baroque, do you just find Edward's ride on Totilas stunning, or is it the music? You're not being clear....

By the way, I just listened to parts of the video again and I'm 100% sure that it's...

alycia - I just love the combination of bloodlines in your upcoming foal!! Keep me posted...... :)

Definitely breed them before the serious work starts..... That way you get an idea how she produces and she won't be a maiden if and when you decide to breed her again at a later time.

I'm with dressurpferd on this... My mare Bardot (Florencio x Wanroij) had her first foal (by Sir Donnerhall) in 2010 and I sure hope that her future foals won't be any bigger than Flash Gordon, the...

bumknees - I hope you understand that you can have any picture taken with a digital camera printed on "real" paper.... Just because the technology has changed doesn't mean that anything else is...

Well, well.... I'm glad you got that off your baroque chest! :)

I would venture to guess that if the initial inquirer wanted to take the time to go to all the different registries, that this information would be available.

So my advice is to do just that.....:)

Great look behind the scenes...!
Thanks for posting the link.

Could you possibly mean the riding horse stallion Olivier being approved as a Gelders stud?

I don't try to sell foals at all because I have the perfect place to raise them, but I have on occasion placed one with a buyer that also had a good place to let it grow up.

I also attend the...

Good post, Kareen!

Frohes Neues Jahr!

I'm glad that there are enough registries in the US to satisfy everybody's wants....

That said, as a breeder I prefer one that gives me lots of information regarding breeding indexes, performance...

Altamont - I believe the original question was regarding approved WB stallion that were 16 hands or less.... and the overwhelming response was that most WB registries had minimum height requirements...
