if given the chance, what breed of horse would you breed?

[~*sugarlump*~]

pretty much explained in the title.
so, if you had an infinate amount of money (i wish) what breed of horse would you stud?

personally, i would have an andalucian stud and a section D stud. or, just to be different i would have a mixed breed stud farm

[Holly B]

Welsh Section Ds and Fells/Friesians are my favourite breeds. But I would like to breed Akhal Tekes as you don't really see them in this country... I'd love them to all be that gorgeous golden metallic colour! :D

[PinkGlamourGurl]

erm haflingers defo. theyre sooo beautiful with the long flowing flaxen mane and tail. GORGEOUS!!! lol or maybe Lippizanners i seen them at appasionata and they were just amazing. Natxxx

[love4horses]

I would have to say Tennessee Walking Horses.

[CMR]

If I ran a whole farm, I would breed drafts and draft crosses. I would really like to see what a baby from a Friesian stallion and Gypsy Vanner mare would look like.

[Pink's lady]

Standardbreds and STBx.:D Not to race, but for pleasure riding. They're a massivly underratted and unknown breed who can turn their hoof at just about anything. As athletic as a Tb, with out the fizz, and much sharper and brighter than a warmblood;)

[stevielee]

Arab or a Hanoverian :p

[Tots N Dots]

for me it would have to be Arabs or Welsh Section A's :D

[love4horses]

CVREAGZAYN- Oh, I absolutely love Gypsy Vanners! They are gorgeous horses!

[KarinUS]

If I had unlimited amounts of money I would buy a big ranch so I could take in more of the horses that were bred with no place to go. :)

[Just.Jump]

If I could choose only one, I would go with friesians. If I could have a small selection, I would add Clydes, as well as something else light.;

[Kalypso]

Arabians :)

[Dina]

I would love to breed Haflingers,
and like Pinks Lady I would love to breed STB's for pleasure riding as well:)

I agree:D Not sure what it is like in the UK but over here in WA we have a society just for STB showing:) Have considered breeding with Mysty to a STB stallion who just about wins everything on the show scene:)

I would like to breed friesians and have started by buying my stallion next year hopefully I am going to import three or four mares from the Netherlands:)

[esse]

In reality, if I were to win the lottery, I wouldn't breed as there are too many unwanted and mis-kept equines in the world today. There's not exactly a worldwide shortage ...

In my dreams, I'd want a stud for an endangered breed or breeds.

[chev]

I'm really lucky; I breed the ponies I wanted to. Welshies :D

[RachelBraz]

I'd breed British Warmbloods and British Sport Horses. And Welsh Ds on the side! :)

[Pink's lady]

Not sure what it is like in the UK but over here in WA we have a society just for STB showing:)

I wish:rolleyes: I'd have said that 90% of riders have no idea what a STB is - considering there's almost as many as TB (in the US anyways), that's a bit pathetic;) Unfortunatly so many come off the track with so many problems (mental and physical) that they rarely make it to main-stream riding. And no-one breeds them for pleasure. When I looked into it I couldn'd find a single breeder in Britain who bred non-racing STB:(

[kirstie]

I would like a Welsh Cob Section D x Thoroughbred OR

Thoroughbred x Trakehner

I WISH

[horseygal90]

Cleveland Bays, gorgeous horses. Or Gypsy Vanners. Or both ;)

Or of course, fells, dales, or Friesians!

[chickflick1066]

Either Dales ponies or Percherons

[iloveshearer]

erm probably welsh a's and arabs, i think they are both two of the prettiest breed of horse/pony!!!!

[jinglejoys]

A really top quality gaited mule

[Tharg]

Percherons! or Ardennes or Suffolk Punches.

[¿M€®¥ñ™]

I have my heart set on breeding icelandic horses in the future as my career

[morgan4eva]

i would breed from a nice known to be a alrounder, to suit beginners. like a
dartmoor
connemara
thoughbred x welsh
welsh
cob (i dont like them to heavy)
pinto
arab
etc..
they are just a few!
xx M 4 Eva

[Luv 2 Trot]

I would breed the Donnerhall and Rubenstein I Lines. The off spring from those lines i have come to meet are top of the line with wonderful attitudes. We have one by Rotspon who is a Rubenstein off-spring who has been champion in USDF and USEF recognized shows since she was a yearling.

Oh, i guess the breeds would be Oldenburg and Hanoveran, lol. :)

[Afellpony]

I would breed Fells, Friesians and Exmoors if I had the money and the land.:p

[chickflick1066]

Percherons! or Ardennes or Suffolk Punches.
Right, you and I can have our draught horse stud! ;)

[ponytude]

I would have to say stick to my TB's or perhaps a TB cross. Perhaps a Friesian?

Maybe even some fancy QH, perhaps crossed with something? hmmm... basically I am trying to make a Jumper here, though a friesian? Or a CND Sport Horse.

[Shannon_Clover]

1. Kerry Bog Ponies
2. Haflingers
3. Arabs

But really if I had the money I would breed Kerry Bog Ponies cos they are a rare breed.
A breeder from America bought some ponies a few years ago to breed and sell in USA.

[Showing Mad]

I would love to breed, connemaras, full breds only though! I love them, best ponies ever as far as i am concerned!! They have got fantastic temprements and are always willing to please, try their hardest at everything you ask of them, fantastic little things and i must say terrific WHP (most of them)!! I would have to be picky also and say i would only keep grey ones!! :eek: lol!! :D I'd have to compete most of them too, either as M&M or WHP.

I would also like to breed fallabellas (sp?) just for the pure novelty value i think they are fab too!! :D :D

SM xXx

[Showing Mad]

Geri Kerry, what is a kerry Bog pony?? Ive never heard of them! Have you got one? any pictures?? Sorry for all the questions im just interested!! :rolleyes:

SM xXx

[ambatt]

Caspians or Arabs for me I think.

[Shannon_Clover]

Hi Showing Mad

It no problem.
I did a post about them a few months back, you can search in Breeds and Colourings, Topic - Rare Breed - Kerry Bog Pony with a link to its website.

Or just have a look at the website.
In Ireland there is a rare pony breed called Kerry Bog Pony.

http://www.kerrybogvillage.ie/kbp/kerry_bog_ponies.htm
Just let you know that this website has not been updated.

and a pic link:

http://www.kerrybogvillage.ie/kbp/kb...ery_photo4.htm
ere info:

There is also a Website form USA about them:
Here link:
http://www.kerrybogpony.org/

I hope they work.
Let me know what you think of them.

[Sable]

More of these for me :D

[Wally]

Sæla is looking beutiful!

In a way out world I'd have to breed and drive Suffolks, trouble is they wouldn't do too well up here! I love them.

[laura kevin]

Arabs and welsh section B

[Keepsmiling]

For me it would have to be fell ponies, i am hoping to realise this in a small way by having my mare put in foal this spring ;) But 1st i must choose and register a prefix :D so far all the ones i have come up with are alas already taken :(

p.s i would also like to breed suffolk Punches !

[xXSundanceBayXx]

welsh Bs or Ds.

[Sammii]

um well where to start?
my most favourite breed would definitely have to be appaloosa's. the marking's the temperament all of it.

[jUmPingIsLifE]

TBs (racing)
or Hanovarians for jumping

[coblover26]

Not too bothered about a particular breed but I would like a chunky and ploddy horse. Definately not a TB

[Showing Mad]

Gerri Kerry thankyou so much!!! Will have a good look at the websites and pictures! thankyou!:D :D

SM xXx

[lindz]

Exmoors

[kirstie]

I would have thoroughbreds x trakhners or welsh cob sction ds x thoroughbreds ;)

[LouHarvey]

I'd spend every last penny I had if it meant I could breed the PERFECT Show Cob!

[santana]

if i was really dreaming iwould have a lippzeaner (help spelling:D) but appys do me just fine
rosie

[nuttymanxmare]

Appaloosa's and Palomino horses (although they are not a breed!)

[toohorsemad]

CONNEMARAS DUH! But also Kerry Bog Ponies and friesians becuase they are so beautiful and our yard had one for a while and I used to dream about riding him but never got to :(

[Waikato Valuta]

Friesians, all the way.

They are the most amazing horses!!!

[Arabmare]

Blacks Arabs! Have tried to start but went wrong, still going to do it but buying land first!!:D

[Slewgal]

Friesians all the way!

I would love to have a herd thundering around a big hilly green pasture.:D

[toohorsemad]

Yea totally agree slewgal the next horse I get will hopefully be a friesian! Wouldn't it be great to get a friesian mare and breed her once and back the foal yourself! :D I think thats what I want to do!

[Trewsers]

Curly Bashkirs (spelt wrong prob). They are gorgeous and I don't think that common.:)

[kyanya]

Definitely Fells. As well as the fact that they're gorgeous and can do anything, they'd also be cheap in comparison to other breeds because they could live out all year with their thick coats and no rugs.

If I had some land, I would just love to do that.

[JustJas]

Having had a surprise foal........... never would I have another!

[michbarrelracer]

i would breed arabs abra(american buckskin registry association) registerable ones,like buckskins,grullas,duns and red duns.:D

[BecknSkye]

I'd love to breed Arabs, with El Shaklan, Saracin and Desperado lines, with some of those dreamy Russian and Polish mares :D In my dreams ...

[Pinto mad!]

me i would go for a dutch warmblood, hanoravian, oldenburg, andulusion, thoroughbred, fresian, arab those would be my 1st choices.(No order)

[lindz]

And Highlands.

[Baileigh]

For me... it's a hard choice. I'd love to breed Irish Cobs, but I also adore the Westphalian warmblood.

For anyone wanting to live out their dreams, there are simulated horse clubs on the internet where you can breed and show pretend horses, and generally just talk about horses, and learn about different breeds.

I'm one of the admins for a large club, that has been going since 1997- and it's not just for kids, we have a vast age range of memberships, and many members in their 20s and 30s. It's a great fun club, and just relaxing, and a way to breed horses and own your dream without spending a penny.

The game is free to play - although donations are welcome if any member wants to donate, we pride ourselves on realism in all areas of the club, and also towards education. Membership can often take upto a few weeks to come through, since it's all done by hand.

But we do welcome new members, so if anyone does fancy, visit: http://www.hfshc.com

Alternatively, so this doesn't sound like just a plug for my own club - there are many clubs out there on the internet, some aren't as good - such as horseland, which lacks in realism and education, but there are automated realistic clubs that exist on the internet, although I forget the names, a google search on ''sim horse club'' will bring up results. Our club is mostly not automated but we do have some highly sought after automated features such as a realistic bank, programmed specifically for us, and a vet/farrier program.

Anyways, I'll stop the advertising - I just thought for people interested in breeding horses without the resources, it might be interesting! :-)

[macinac]

Hanoverians, would definitely be my first choices. Other choices would be Trakehners, Warmbloods of any kind, Egyptian Arabians, Friesians, and Thoroughbreds :)

[Miska]

Hispano arab (arabian x andaluian) - Would be perfect, clever with a small amout of fizz.

[Cochise]

Appaloosas of course!

[Afellpony]

I would breed Fell and Exmoor ponies.

[horselover1002]

Quarter Horses because of their stamina,stregnth and macsculinity.

[murphy moo]

jutland they are so chunky and cute!!!
