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

Thinks the luddites had a point...
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 ?
