SENDING THE BREEDING

Do not send more than three (3) breedings at one time, each in a separate email message if you don’t use my automated form. Please don't request more until these are done.

All foals must be assigned a birth year that is within the sire’s foal crop years and one of the dam’s open years. Fixed age or non-aging breedings not are allowed, except on fantasy or decorator horses. However, you must send your request to me in year format (i.e. 1984, not 20 years old) as I will be using the dam's open year in my record.

If using one of my mares, you must send three year choices since my list may not be fully updated and then I can just go to your next choice. If you can only use one open year for one of my mares and no other will do, please write and ask in advance and I will reserve that year for you. DO NOT just send the request saying "I can only use that year". All requests like this will be refused.

You must send your real, full name to request a breeding or it will be refused without notice.

I do accept BSO (pedigree-only, no model body) breedings. However, please only breed BSO horses on a limited bases; I won't accept more than three of them in a row.

COLOR GENETICS

All homozygous models can only produce a foal of that color, and are marked as such. All others are to be considered heterozygous.

The easiest rule of equine color genetics is to make one parent the same color/pattern as the foal. Other notes on non-homozygotes: Two chestnuts will always produce a chestnut, and two grey parents will usually produce a grey and although that is not an absolute rule, I usually follow it without exception as the percentage is low of two grays producing another color. Most grays produced from two grays are homozygous.

For pinto/Paints that are either frame (overo/sabino/splash) or tobiano, please use two horses of the same pattern or one solid parent. For toveros/Medicine Hats, you can use one of each pattern (tobiano x frame overo/sabino/splash) or a tovero x solid or tovero x tovero. (NOTE: Two frame overos do run the risk of producing a lethal white foal, but since these are models I don’t think it’ll be a problem!)

Parti-colored parents (pinto, Appaloosa) may have solid colored offspring. Any double dilute (cremello, perlino) can only produce a dilute (buckskin, palomino) foal when bred to a non-dilute. Multiple dilutes are allowed with the right parents, i.e. palomino roan x dun = dunalino roan, and so forth.

As far as is known, any Appaloosa pattern can produce any other pattern, i.e. a leopard can produce a varnish roan or a spotted blanket can produce a leopard. Few-spot leopards and snowcaps from two Appaloosa-colored parents are usually homozygous. 

Here is a good site that shows you what colors can be produced from different crosses.

Janet Piercy's excellent site on pinto patterns.

Sharon Batteate’s also excellent site on unusual colors.

OTHER GENERAL NOTES

For more information on model pedigree assignment, please check out the IPABRA website. 

All parents are models unless marked <r>--real--to the best of my knowledge and all pedigrees have been researched as much as possible. If you find a mistake in a real horse pedigree, please email me.

Please inquire first for breedings using any of my mares for other-breed crosses, such as purebred Arabs or TBs for Anglo-Arab, Mule, Appaloosa, etc. I don't allow certain mares to be bred to stallions of other breeds, so it's best to write and ask first. 

I will not allow obscene/dirty words or anything similar as names for offspring; don’t even bother to request this type of name. I will refuse breedings for horses that have the names of real, fictional, or famous model horses, such as "Strapless", "Roemer", "Parr's Dream Doll", "Gypsy Karma", etc.

I follow real breed registry rules and facts—i.e. follow the white rule in QHs, there are no grey or true dark headed roan Clydesdales, and so forth.

I have some foal bodies with adult IDs which are considered to be "frozen in time"; most are real-time GSS-bred foals that were "born" the year I got the model but will always continue to show as foals even though they age normally.

All horses that I designate as "brown" are black-bays, not dark liver chestnuts. 

ONLY fantasy parents can have non aging foals. All others will be aging. Please check with me for crossbreeds to make sure it's a realistic cross.
