Breeders who use a stallion more than once on the same mare?

We have bred 3 full siblings out of our own stallion.

This is a 2 year old full brother this year he is winning in hand hunter sport horse and hunter, also reserve high score first premium BEF.

This is a full brother from last year he was 9th in the UK BEF foal for Dressage. They all are very similar and stamps his stock.

We have bred the ame mare to the same stallion Rcco and Angrove Dance Girl
not only do the two of the full siblings look alike they are both double Homozygous as well Tobiano and Black.
 
I know it is a lottery but if you breed full sibling foals, do you see a consistency?

but has anyone done it? I would be interested to see the outcome?

I've done it a lot!:D

These are second generation home-bred siblings - all pure-bred ID fillies.

Indigo Sweet Magic (born 2008)

And Indigo Sweet Melody (born 2009)

Melody is now grey - like Mum - and shares a field with (amongst others) another grey filly Summer Song - who is a full sister to Melody's Mum. THEY are very similar!

And the current baby - Indigo Sweet Caroline (will stay bay)
Maggie-caroline.jpg


Mum is Indigo Tralee Rosebud (aka Maggie) - two of the fillies are by Avanti Amorous Archie - can you guess which 2??

And - talking about Maggie:

I have her full brother Rambo (entire)

A year younger - and gelded - Thornton

A year younger was Sailor - he's sold now

Then Deep Secret - a filly - shown at her grading.

And Summer Song - at weaning.

Summer is probably the MOST like Maggie.

I can't find a pic of the latest as she was on the 'do not photograph' list for a long time - she had horribly crumpled hocks - but she HAS straightened up now and looks very like Summer.

All of that lot are by Lady's Tralee Raj ex Northwood Rose.

I'd better stop there - although I have LOADS more!:D

It's great fun when you come to back them - you KNOW what they'll be like! Because it's not just looks that are passed on, but temperament and trainability too!
 
We have two sisters who we have bred time and time again to the same stallion.
They are slightly different in height and build, and it always shows in their offspring.
The bigger mares are chunkier and quieter in temperament like her, and the smaller mare's incredibly beautiful heads and slightly fizzier rides.
What passes on every time from the stallion are the paces, all of them have lovely long strides despite the mares having choppy ID type trots. (apologies to ID lovers, but some ID's do have less than flowing paces!)
The colours have always been bay from mid to dark, and all jump well, though one mare was never competed before breeding from her.
You can recognise which mare our youngsters come from mainly because of the heads, otherwise it would be hard to say which was out of which mare when foals, as they mature it's more obvious. Some of them are very similar in looks, I would say there is no massive difference in any of them to an outsider, we just see it because we know them all so well.
If you would like to see some pics I have hundreds on facebook, pm me for my details and I will add you.
 
Couldn't agree more with the above, I've bred three siblings, and the second is just out under saddle, and SO easy in every way. I'm in a rather unique position as I've had the sire and dam of them since very young, and brought them on and competed them both throughout their careers. I feel I'm in a good position to know just how they will behave under saddle, and so far I've been correct.
Here they are, the first is now six, photos of him as a yearling, and last year eventing...

I think you'll agree theres quite a similarity.
 
Here are two that I have bred out of St Pr Acord II mare by Emma Hindle's GP dressage stallion, Fuerstenreich (Florestan)

Furst Love, a gelding, Champion at the Royal Show, very successful dressage and showjumping and is now eventing with Alex Huan Tian

and Furst Kiss (a year younger) was Supreme Champion broodmare and the BD Breeding Championships (and has since been sold to Canada)

They are really similar in many ways (not least that they are both huge!!)

Their half sibling (out of the same mare, by Furst Heinrich (Florestan) is the super young stallion Franklyn Sugar. apologies, I don't have a pic of him to hand
 
I have a photo of my boy and a photo of his full brother.

Excuse the unpulled mane!! This is my gelding....

SDC10741.jpg


My gelding is a year old than his full brother, however his brother is already the same height as him and quite a bit thicker set. (Black is rising 4 and bay is rising 3.)
My gelding is also a lot sharper than his brother, who has a laid back nature.
And apparently, my boy has the better movement :p

full brother....

These 2 are full brother and sister, they are by Gorsfraith Brenin out of Trevoulter Silver Jewell. Their full brother is now standing at Trevoulter Barton stud and there is 2 other full sibs, 3 of the 5 are roan. Our 2, who are also in my sig both like to be in your face but have been great fun and are usually in the ribbons.
 
Hi Guys,

We often breed the same way and had one cross that we did six times - Daws Firebird x Cassander, years ago. They were all similar in that thet were all VERY good movers and had easy gut go temperaments. The fillies were bay and one looked very like her mother and the colts were chestnet and were very stamped by their father. The similarities were greater than the differences when you allow for the gender. (In my experience the fillies are more like their dams and the colts like the sire).
 
Jaxmath is that photoshopped?!! if not how on EARTH did you persuade him to stand in that field loose?!! stunner!
 
Our broodmare stamps hers really strongly in terms of appearance, we have 2 full brothers, and not only do they look v similar, they have the nicest quietest temperaments, (that we recon are from the stallion, as the mare, although lovely, isn't a peoples person, and these 2 brothers really are!) the 4yo filly is the precocious of them all, but in a good way, but you can really tell they are all related, haven't got any pictures of them though!

Hi Amy_b, no it wasn't photoshopped - he was looking at the cows across the field and I was stood in front of him just out of shot!
