Hi all, first post here!
Recently purchased a Kinsky buckskin mare born in 2009 & tried to look up her history - she is my first ever horse. She came with a pet id passport and breeding papers which does state she is a completely pure Kinsky and provided 5 generation pedigree history and is registered with Equus Kinksy.
Now here is where it gets very dodgy...I googled the name of the dam and it came up with all the dam's offspring. She has had two foals, mare in 2009 and stallion in 2012. The mare matches the exact parentage of the one I just brought: same sire, grandsire, etc...but is under a different name and has supposedly gone on to have foals of her own. As far as I know my new mare has had no foals. Weird...
I then googled the yard where she was bred, a large estate in Kent under the name Equus-Kinsky which I have read very mixed opinions about. The breeders were then evicted and were selling horses for little to nothing before the liquidators came. Many horses apparently were in an absolute state when brought - thin, undernourished and showed severe rain scald (considering Kinskies are one of the rarest breeds I find it appalling if this was the manner in how they were treated!!). According to a few on this forum, the horses are not Kinsky at all; they just display the typical Kinsky colour..palomino/dun.
My mare has had two previous owners before me, and the lady who I brought her from is absolutely lovely and we both are trying to get to the bottom of this weird background.
What would you guys recommend to do? I am inclined to do a DNA test to confirm parentage and will email the society she is 'registered' with in Czech Republic to find out more.
I have gotten in touch with the lady who bred my mare, Kamila Lewis. She says she still has the dam, and she recalls my mare as a foal and says she was lovely. Any advice on how I should go about approaching this lady for more info?
Thank you xxx
