I used to be confused on horse color combinations.
Now I have a headache. http://members.aol.com/MFTHorses/sponenbg.htm |
OT HORSE COLOR GENETICS
Wow! That brings back memories of a past life.
In 84 - 88 (or so), the president of the vet school was acting president of Virginia Tech. During that time, the VT mounted police was formed. Of course, as soon as the new president came on the scene, the budget was cut and they were history. S.

OT HORSE COLOR GENETICS
Used to mystify me, when I was still in the breeding business, the people
who would tell me they chose my stallion because he was chestnut and then would produce a bay mare...The only people who place much importance on breeding for color and pattern are the Paint, Appaloosa, and Pinto people....specific breeds don't have the problem at all: Cleveland Bays had better be bay or you know something funny's gone on down the genetic line. The quarter horse people get all wrapped up in producing palominos and buckskins, but that's playing a whole lot of recessives off each other and you have to know generations three back to get any degree of accuracy. Another thing that people don't take into consideration is that the mare produces 50% of the gene pool, so unless she carries some powerful recessives, a skanky hipshot, over at the pasterns mare bred to wouldn't produce a winner, race wise or conformation wise. You have to start with a good mare and then find a good stallion. You can't improve bloodlines with bad mares...you're just throwing in a lot of bad recessives. BTW, even though I am interested in this subject, what does it have to do with sailing? -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

I'm still trying to figure out how to fit a horse on my boat.
I need a bigger boat. This came about because I watched Master and Commander last night--picked up the DVD. It reminded me of all the animals fuond on boats. I also picked up Hildago and much of the movie was about the Spanish horses that became Mustangs.

Did the boat/horse thing for years...got very tiring after awhile, so when the city people began to migrate out to where we live, I slowly started selling off the hroses until I was down to my one favorite....boating won out in the end, though, when I was trting to run a business, show the horse, and sail....you can onl;y spread yourslef so thing and then something's gotta give...I still get catalos and magazines and stuff and have to slap myslef when I start getting teary eyed over horses..... -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

Horses and boats are incompatible. Both require weekends of work, involvement and such. We gave up the horses when it dawned upon Janie that she hadn't ridden / lunged / anything her gelding for over a month one summer. He'd won two Show Hack classes the previous month at shows in Louisville, KY, and Mason, MI. There were two shows coming up in July and there was no way she was going to have him ready. It just isn't possible. Max |
