Whats your favorite bloodline and why???

 

[midnight star stables]

Do you believe a stallion should be smaller than a mare in height when breeding?Once this has been answered go ahead and ask a question if you wish?

No.

Has to do with bone size partially.

I plan to breed my 36" mare to a 38" stallion.

 

[Maple Hollow Farm]

Whats your favorite bloodline and why???

I have two favorites and they are Hemlock Brooks Egyptian King because he has an absolutely gorgeous head and neck that he passes on to his offspring and he has great conformation and is the perfect shade of grey

.

My other favorite is Orion Light Van't Huttenest because I love almost every horse I have seen that is closely related to him. He throws foals with great conformation and overall good appearance.

 

[Reble]

Whats your favorite bloodline and why???

Rowdy because he had great conformation and was refined

He sired some of the leading winners in the AMHA history including:

Lazy N Boogerman who sold at the NFC Dispersal sale in 1993 for an unprecedented $110,000

and is the winningest stallion in AMHA history being the

1992 National Grand Champion

NFC Rowdy’s Supreme: 1987 National Grand Champion Jr. Mare

I am still with the older bloodlines, but do see some nice horses being bred.

This has been great reading.....o.k..my question...

For those who own stallions and geldings, how often do you clean out sheaths?

So I looked at your picture and then read the question and I just had to laugh since some people refer to the hard ball of crud as a peanut

. But I have never cleaned my horses sheaths out, if they need it done I have the vet do it. I might try to do it this year though now that I know how.

When we are clipping them for a show, than I remember to do a little cleaning /about 3-4 times in the summer months or at least a quick check...

 

[Jessica_06]

We clean them as soon as they begin to rub their tails. Since most of my guys are on dry lots they tend to get dirty quicker. I like to make sure they are clean before a show, if you know what I mean

(don't want to get embarrassed)

Heading to bed. Have fun

During breeding season how many mares should one stallion be offered?

However many he can handle or that you would want to breed to him. If you over breed a stallion like...say.. buckeroo or any of those other awesome stallions it floods the market with them and lowers the value of their offspring so that is a hard question to give an exact answer for.

Good night!

 

[maestoso]

I don't have an answer for the how many mares question, not enough experience in that to even make an educated guess. But I have a new question.

Do you think there should be some sort of breeding stock division in AMHA for MARES that go over 34"?

 

[icspots]

To answer Matt's last question, I think there should be a breeding stock division for stallions and mares in AMHA if they are closing the registry and an offspring out of two AMHA parents happens to go over, we can't just discard them and make them grade, they have a history with AMHA. They couldn't be shown, but who's to say they wouldn't throw all "under" babies??
