We do appreciate all the different colors of this wonderful breed and it is always fun if we receive a foal of a more rare color. However, we do not make stallion-mare matches to produce a certain color. Our stallion choices for our mares are strictly based on the traits that each parents contributes and we would like to see improved in the next generation. This doesn't exclude breeding the same color to the same color, in fact, we have a couple mares that have produced the most "complete packages" bred to stallion of the same color, which comes down to the individual traits and is not related to the color.
We also haven't "specialized" in trying to produce a specific color and reject breeding outside mares, whose owner are selecting our stallions simply because they want to produce a colored foal.
Due to bad experiences in the past, we will not offer any of our services upfront or on credit. This includes boarding, training and stud services. Our prices for services are quite low for industry standards and it is that much more frustrating and expensive to have to run after our compensation. Therefore, we will require a retainer when booking any of our services.
Our mare herd is carefully selected according to quality of pedigree/ancestors, traits the individual exhibits, traits the individual passes on and health. We do not breed mares that have known genetically inherited health issues and strongly discourage mare owners to breed mares with such. Outside mares are rejected for stud service that have inherited or infectious skin conditions including Hypersensitivity, Sarcoidosis, Sweet Itch or are carriers of any kind of diseases in order to protect our own stock and ethical responsibility for the breed and it's next generation. Outside mares for live cover need to be vaccinated, preferably with a 6- way, and proof of vaccination needs to be send to us PRIOR to arrival on our property.
