I have an APHA registered mare Pieces of Hot Scotch (Posh) who has won points in halter. She is an amazing western pleasure/hunter under saddle mare. She's been bred 4 times in the past and has had 4 foals. Her owners I got her from a couple years ago said it would be a loss if I didn't breed her again.
Well she's gonna be a Mama again And I need opinions from you guys!! Who do you think would be best for Posh?
Posh is homozygous black (EE), heterozygous dun (Dd), and heterozygous agouti (Aa). She has a seal brown gene as well. I'm trying for a colored foal (grulla/blue roan/black based) that is made for hunter/western pleasure/trail. Height is important. Health is important. All the studs I have put on here are N/N on all their panels.
First choice: Dynamic Breeze (AQHA, IBHA)-16 hh EE and Dd. He's a gorgeous grulla stallion. He's an all around horse (english and western) and also is a champion for halter through the IBHA. Thing is, I don't want smoky black or bay... and since he's not homozygous for dun, it is possible for them to have either or but grulla or dunskin are most likely to occur, so I don't think I'd have to worry about it. He's perfect height, perfect body shape, tough decision!
Second Choice: My Final Notice(AQHA)-15.3 hh blue roan western pleasure stallion EeRr. This stallion has movement! My Final Notice is probably one of the nicest western pleasure stallions I've seen. He's nearly perfect except he's over my price range, and again, they have possibilities of bay and smoky black...
Third Choice: Jessie and Tivios Kin(AQHA, NFQHA)-15.1 hh grulla stallion. His color is perfect for Posh! They could have 50% chance of his color or 50% chance of a color similar to Posh's. He also has gorgeous hazel eyes! BUT he's too short... And his conformation in his hindquarters looks like it does not match the rest of his body when he's being ridden... So I'm not sure about him. It's so tempting though because he is EEDD.
Fourth Choice: Blazing n Style (AQHA/APHA?)-15.1 hh bay stallion. I don't know much about him because they don't have a website, but Posh's old owner said he'd be good for a western pleasure foal and for height whys. His foals have always been 16 hh or taller so that is exciting to hear... but I'm not sure because he's bay and like I said, I really don't want bay. But he does have good movement and seems well balanced. His foals have turned out nice.
