Another update from another wonderful client!!
A couple years ago I had to make the decision to let one of our black beauties go.
One of Gia’s fillies, Mira.
She was in foal to Tjaarda 483, and had a gorgeous c**t, whose name is Winston!
I couldn’t have picked a better home for these two!!
Thank you so much Vikki Wagner for loving these two, and giving them the best!!! 💜

Good information! PINTO is a color, and PAINT is a breed (basically a pinto Quarter Horse*.) 💙➡️Some breeds which can have PINTO coloring but which do not have Paint breeding are: Dutch Warmbloods, Saddlebreds and Gypsy Vanners.
🔹️PINTO=COLOR🔹
🔹️️️PAINT=BREED🔹️
One of our Registrar's easy tips to help you remember: PINTO is 2 syllables and color is 2 syllables, pinto/color2️⃣ PAINT is 1 syllable and breed is 1 syllable, paint/breed1️⃣.

*there are also solid colored Paints in the Paint registry today, but the breed was formed and is best known for being basically pinto Quarter Horses.

The breeding road is one of the hardest roads you’ll ever take in the equine world. The emotional rollercoaster alone that goes into breeding is astronomical. Then you take into account the financial aspect and it is a losing game.

The win comes from the first time that foal makes his or her way into the world. A foal you thought out, made a plan and a goal for. A foal you dreamed of raising and seeing its way into the show pen, or rodeo arena, or ranch. A foal that you put all your blood sweat and tears into for a year of planning, one attempt to breed resulting in an open mare. Two attempts to breed and resulting in an open mare. THREE attempts to breed and resulting in an open mare…….. another 11 months of waiting to meet them once you finally get your “little black dot” then another 6 months of teaching them all the first things a foal learns. Halter breaking, picking up feet, learning to lead, load, tie. Learning to be productive members of society.

It’s a game that those from the outside don’t see how much science and calculation goes into it. How much time researching conformation traits, pedigrees, sires, dams, sale results, show results goes into EACH choice you make when breeding.

Be kind to your vets who are working overtime, your repro specialist who is breeding your mare at 2am, your farm hand that is foaling that mare out at 3am after a full day of work and has to get up at 6 to do it again.

Breeding is HARD. Be kind, we’re all in it for the same reason….the horse.

He is 93.75% Friesian / 6.25% KWPN Dutch Warmblood

He’s just 3 days old, so he has quite a bit of “unfolding” to do, but man he is so sweet and laid back, and omg legs for days!!!
Just love him to pieces!!!!

We were so impressed by our filly we had by this guy last year, that we decided to breed our
Barock Pinto Mare, Faith PRF to him this year!!

Foal will be 43.75% Friesian / 56.25% German Warmblood

Crossing our fingers, and toes for a homozygous foal!!! 🤞🤞🤞

Our KFPS Ster Mare, Ansje ut’ t Westen will be bred to this guy for hopefully a 2024 foal!!!

Ulbran 502 is a GORGEOUS Stallion that is also new to the US this year!!!
So excited for all these amazing new boys, that are making their way here!!!!

Breeding Ansje to Ulbran, gives us a foal that also will have a very low in-breeding coefficient of 0.98%, and a very low kinship of 16.72%!!
Crossing our fingers she takes with this
special guy!!! 🔥🔥🔥
