Breeding for color/eventing (potentially, in the future)
Posted: Fri May 26, 2006 2:50 pm
What sort of TB sires should I be looking for to get a dilute foal from Tyler's Run (2003), if I were to choose to breed her in the future? She's halfway between 16.0 and 16.1hh (as of December 1st, 2005), and various vets and farriers say her conformation and movement are correct. I'm hoping to find an affordable sire that is as well.
My main interest is to breed a horse who can also event. I tend to like height on the horses, preferably 16.2hh/+. I don't plan to breed her until she's older, but I figured trying to find out as much as possible would help me plan for the future.
I'm not against a cross to an Arabian stallion (for an Anglo Arabian foal) or a warmblood (perhaps Oldenburg, Hanoverian, or Trakehner), but with the rarity of dilute TB foals, it might have more of a commercial appeal should I ever have to sell it.
All replies/insights are appreciated.
