I seem to have messed up with my pictures in my last post but I'll try again. This is WSH Carafe - Welsh Sport Horse. He is out of a Tb x Welsh mare but I can see still see Decanter in him. Even though his grand dam was fairly light of bone for a Sec D, this chap has excellent bone and we are...

This is our Treliver Decanter foal - WSH Carafe. (He is Welsh Part bred out of a 50/50 Welsh x tb mare ) Pictured as a foal, just before weaning and then today. Has wintered out other than a few days in here and there for worming etc and done really well. Rug off today and we are really...

Oxytocin for fluid expulsion is normal but PG'ing alone would not cause fluid expulsion unless the mare actually responds to it as Janet said. Fluid will only be expelled if the cervix is open ie mare in season. If she wasn't scanned then you've probably wasted your money. Have a read...

Personally as you are already aware that you may have a 'difficult' breeder I would opt for a good equine repro vet or you may well be wasting your money. Pg'ing in the hope of flushing her out seems odd to me? Also the fact that she is retaining fluid is not a great start so she needs to...

Make the offer ! Its owners perogative to accept or decline and in any case their price of £2500 is an 'offer', one which you can accept or decline ;) Circumstances at any given time may affect their response but certainly if you are up front and dont waste their time then I'm sure they...

I agree about the Welsh and proud bit but sadly some people can't see through the flying hair and feather, especially where dressage is concerned ;) Its amazing how attitudes change when judges exclude the 'breed factor' . I'm all for flying hair and feather believe me. If your looking...

IMHO - looks to have nice paces and would be wasted running around in-hand at the end of a rope :). Two choices - Show him under saddle in Ridden Welsh Classes, turned out 'naturel' which basically means thinned mane and tail. OR Trim him all over, feathers and all and then show/...

Beat me too it WSH . No pics of him but relations http://www.pedigreequery.com/photos/ceredigion Also mentioned in this link - second horse down related. http://www.mclarenhighperformancehorses.com/five_year_olds.htm

You have given us a great History which is brill :) . One question, you've owned her five years and managed to get her in foal twice. On the failed attempts did she have a foal at foot?

Reg number 4939, chestnut/grey, 1993.13.2hh approx. Sire Antic (AHSB). Dam 78315 Bawdsey Birdsong WSB by 22175 Glenfield Orion 22175 Is IS registered otherwise he would not be listed in the Studbook.

..............and as for TNT !!!!!!!!!!!! Words me. Not enough words in the English language to describe. We are an AI centre and would never use them again to receive semen. PO every time for us and second your vote for Tullis and Co. Excellent service. .

If he is registered Welsh Part Bred ( and must be if he's in the Stud Book) then he must have a WPCS passport somewhere? Dont have the Stud books but will ask a friend for you.

In that case I'm sure you would see a real difference in his behaviour. If they have no one else to 'play' with then they tend to take it out on mum and if uncorrected, think that there's nothing wrong in that sort of behaviour. Ideally a foal playmate would be ideal but even an adult mare...

Are you mare and foal kept alone in a paddock? If so you may find that adding company in the form of dominant aunties will instill a few manners in him and keep him in his place until you are ready to decide. Sometimes if you have a bold colt foal and an indifferent dam then their...

A Prefix has to be registered with the Central Prefix Office for a breed Society to accept it otherwise you could have ten Prefixes the same all over the Country.
