Spotted Sports stallions (as colour debates an in fashion)

[Thistle]

What spotted stallions are about, what sort of stock do they throw, would you use one?

 

[dieseldog]

If you want to breed a spotty use a few spot stallion as they have more chane of throwing a spotty foal.

Our Spot is by Mryiad Bees Knees and he does quite well - don't know if he is just a freak though.

Depends on the breeding because they seem to be a bit randam. My sisters mare is reg App being from spotted parents but is a bay & though she has a lot of ability I dont see any quality about her; Her dam is from the Blythwind line & she is by R Mellow Kinsman. She has QH & TB breeding among other things. I have seen some very nice Apps, but I would check out their past as you could get a throwback you were not expecting!

Goshka Sport Horses own one, FAUST AF ELMELYGAARD, who guarantees 100% spotty foals. He's a lovely sort as well, with a fantastic temperament (stud owner's children ride him) and movement.

I tend to use non-appaloosa solid sport stallions on my purebred mare. That way, even if there are no spots/colour they usually have athleticism (sp?) and are still good horses. I just use stallions with a good performance record, and that I like, and colour is a bonus! If I had to use an appy stallion, it would probably be Centaur Jolly Jack

I'm using a graded British Appaloosa on my mare. 16hh, has BD points but currently eventing. A nice all rounder.

If you have a look on the British Appaloosa site, they have a stallion section. I'm using Lambrigg Valentine - the bottom one. He's lovely, a real character.

Asti is over there "doing the deed" at the moment.

I've seen his youngsters, seem very laid back and they move well.

I'm not bothered if the foal doesn't spot out - I like his nature and build and performance which was why I chose him.

I have a solid foal this year from a few spot stallion - I'm told she may spot out later on but for now she's a dark bay with no spots!!

So a few spot doesn't guarentee a loudly spotted baby!

I have had some cracking foals out of Faust at Goshka and Hamlet at Centyfield.

One also to bear in mind is Mikker at Colourthyme Stud - who has had some fabulous babies this year. He is on my shortlist for next year
