    Zebras?

    Wow, I didn't expect to come back to so many replies. If it doesn't sit well with some, that's fine. I have to deal with that a lot and it's never put me off anything I've done. Can't please everyone but this is something that I will do regardless of how others feel about it. To me, if an...

    Zebras?

    I'd love to see it in the ring :) She is a fantastic trainer and gives a lot of great advice. I will pop him a message today. If I were to buy a Zebra stallion for myself I would ideally want a tame one as I've heard horror stories about wild ones not getting along with horses. I have...

    Zebras?

    Ah, that'll be why when I tried to look for it I couldn't find anything :( Not at all! I'm not sure about in the UK but I know there is a lot of people breeding Zebras in the US to horses and donkeys (as well as fellow Zebras). It's not massively common but it is done. While you can ride...

    Zebras?

    You don't need a DWAL for a hybrid of any sort, thankfully! I will have a look for them as I would rather buy than breed for now :) Thank you so much!

    Zebras?

    For the exact same reason I ask "Why not?" That's what I'm wondering. A few years ago there was a thread on here (now in the archives) where someone said they knew of studs collection at a place in...Berkshire? I think? I saw a long time ago a Zorse be put out on loan and it claimed to be the...

    Zebras?

    After searching for the millionth time about finding Zebras in the UK, and after finding a couple of outdated threads on here, I've decided to ask outright. For the past 4 years I've been looking for a Zebra stallion either in the form of the animal itself (after applying for a DWAL) for live...

    Is it wise to breed a 14.2 Welsh Dwith a 15.2-16hh?

    I would breed with conformation and temperament being paramount. Then I'd start thinking about colour, but nowadays it takes little to no brain power to add something different while keeping good lines and a good stamp. I don't agree with breeding anything sub standard or "cloney" if the sole...

    One of only 30 in the world

    Gorgeous horses! Always liked them since I found out they were called Chapman horses years ago (little bit of surname pride). If I were to buy a horse I'd love to looks at one of these around the 15.2hh range. I'm a pony person but I'd make an exception for these. Love the build, there's a such...
