i have 22 mares and they are put into foal every year, no money is made what so ever from selling my foals by the time i have paid for hard feed, haylage, feet trimmed, injections, microchips, passports etc. i get the majority of my money from selling my foals but more often than not i am out of...

i breed both dressage and showjumping foals and sometimes cross the dressage and jumping breeding and i have that they are selling best on horse deals. :)

milk your mare once a day but literally only get a couple of ml from the mare other wise if the mare is milked to much the mares body was constantly run milk and you will never find out when your foal is due. milk a couple of ml into a pot and if the milk is a clear/cloudy colour your mare could...

i take horses my self for schooling and breaking, i know a lot of people worry about sending their horses away for breaking and schooling as there are a lot of people out there that just scam your money, but i can assure i am not one of them people, i only charge £90 per week everything included...

i charge £15 for half an hour, i dont teach for an hour because after half an hour of hard work your horse is nackered and i find alot of people struggle to take things in after half an hour without geetting confused and stressed because their horse starts to get reluctant. Most of my customers...

this is very very stupid, he will 99.0% get hurt at some point. most horses are not furtile until yearlings but it has been known for them to be furtile younger. when i turn my yearling colts out i put them with an old mare i have got, she isn`t furtile, i do this so they have some respect for...

nope iv never had polo ponies or bought any to sell and i definatly did not fake my own death!! i am a new member to this site, the only reason i joined was to find out other peoples experiences on breeding and competing and when people share their own experiences all they get is utter CRAP off...

obviously they are not going to shine a beeming light into horses face but with no word of a lie this actualy happened. why would i make such a fair tale up? when somebody asked if anyone had any similar experiences. it doesnt matter to me and shouldn`t matter to you if u think its a fair tale...

yes a homozygous horse`s colour genetic would be described as HH if the horse is not homozygous it would be recognised as Hh meaning there would only be a 50/50 chance of getting a coloured depending the breeding on both sides. yes colour genetics is easy with experienced people who know about...

yes you are right, but he doesnt have to be fully coloured i.e a coloured sheath, and a coloured gene is not dominant unless both mare and stallion are coloured or he is homozygous. as the coloured gene would be recognised as C and a black would also be recongised as a B therfore there would be...

when i have a horses that struggles to put weight on, the first thing i do is put them on a course of restore it is made by global herbs it is realy good it basically does what its called restores all their organs, fed with thirds and alfa a oil, but recently molichaff have brought out a new mix...

yes i have had a very similar experience on my yard where i had my liveries askin why their horses had a black dot underneath their forelock looked to be done with a marker pen, i just replied i dont know maybe someone having a laugh and ignored the situation. a few days later 3 more liveries...

yes u are right it would be unusual for him not to sire any coloureds but it has been known to happen, it does also depend on the mare and its breeding aswell :)
