Ooh thanks AE, I can see what I've been missing out on now. He's gorgeous and looks a bit of a character.

Ok I applied for a Horse Sport Ireland passport for Felix (as both mare and stalion are registered with them) and 'due to Brexit' they can't issue passports to UK based horses anymore. What do I do now? It says apply in the UK but which passport do I go for for an ISH/RID if not an irish one!

It doesnt really matter tbh- so long as the stallion's DNA is on file you'll get registered breeding with SHBGB or AES

Please register Felix with a British studbook. If he goes on to do well why let an Irish studbook take the credit.
As the mule says. SHBGB or AES. It really doesn’t matter for a gelding, but given his type I’d lean towards SHBGB as they are quite keen on their hunter types

The 2 babies have finally been allowed to meet byt their mothers and it's so sweet seeing them together now. They're not quite best mates yet, but they're starting to play a bit and they do a lot of hanging out grazing
It’s not all pretty faces!

I don't really understand that aspect of passports. Why would a studbook 'take the credit' for what a horse does? I thought studbooks just confirmed horses were a certain breed?

I agree with TM & IHW , try SHB(GB) . That’s who register part bred IDs . They do shows / foal gradings etc too.

Here’s mine, 3 months old nearly - how the time flies!
we are doing relatively well, she frightens the life of me charging about like a loon, leading was ok then we had a planting phase quickly remedied with a dually halter, feet pick up nicely etc her mother doesn’t tell her off which is getting a bit concerning though!

Most studbooks, except for the native breeds/ TBs, are about type rather than a specific breed- warmbloods/ ISH etc aren’t breeds. The stud books which are more performance focused rather than breeding, hence why some stallions are graded into multiple stud books

Ah mud, splendid
No still just a blank space on your quote - very odd!

Aspen is one month old and super friendly. Books are open, will he stay sorrel or will he grey out?

Me too. I think he will stay chestnut, possibly a bit darker than his foal colour

They are definitely straighter and vet is happy for him to be out 24/7 now x

I'm happy either way, but with the dark stripe appearing at the base of his mane, I think he'll shed a dark colour and grey out from that. I don't care what colour he ends up in, but I enjoy guessing what will happen.

Gorgeous foals, all making me far too broody! At this rate I think I'll be looking for another mare to breed from, Trio is used to be in a mare and foal herd after all!

Just took a photo that I’ve been waiting so long to take . Amara and Rustle , full brother and sister . Grandma and Mum have let them be friends now .
I wouldn’t have let them get together this early but Amara is a gentle soul , and mum and grandma have already made it very clear what is acceptable. Just one of those proud breeder moments ?
