Mystery Horses ...

[krobins]

I have an 18mo old filly who is a 50/50 Irish Draught/TB cross. I know next to nothing about TB bloodlines, but I’m trying to find out two things:

1.) how tall my filly may get based on her pedigree (I have the heights of her sire and dam, but haven’t had any success in tracking down that information for the next two generations back on her dam’s side).

2.) this one is more sensitive, so I’m just going to ask and see what happens. My filly was diagnosed as having club feet in both front legs at 13 mos. She had check ligament surgery and is doing well, but unless I can substantiate that there aren’t any club feet in her pedigree going back at least three generations, I won’t be able to have her inspected so that her future offspring will be eligible for registration. Since I believe this condition was caused by environmental factors rather than a genetic predisposition, I’d like to try to document that if at all possible.

The TB side is proving to be the hard one to research, but here’s what I do know:

My filly’s pedigree:

I had a chance to inspect my filly’s dam (My Silver Jag), and have photos that demonstrate that she doesn’t have club feet. Jag was bred at Anderson Farms in the St. Thomas, Ontario area. Although Google searches indicate that Anderson Farms remains active in breeding TBs, I couldn't turn up any contact information. Country Light last stood at Blooming Hills Farm in Clements, CA and died in 2002 and Trudie Tudor was a Canadian stakes winner.

Any information would be much appreciated!

Country Light (now deceased) was standing at Double G Ranch before he was euthanized.

Tudor Flag does not look like he has clubbed feet http://www.pedigreequery.com/tudor+grey.

I cannot find anything on Trudie Tudor, Majestic Light and Harbor Flag as far as pics go.

Goodluck on your search.

Trudie Tudor was champion mare in Canada, from a good black type family. Where is your horse's dam now?

[springboro]

there is a picture of the dam on this website and her left front hoof looks a bit clunky to me.

For pics of Majestic Light, try Claiborne Farms website and or contact them as he stood there at stud and is buried there. Actually, for any of the family listed as bred by the Phipps family, you might want to contact Claiborne, as they have had a long relationship and boarded a large portion of their bloodstock there.
