Tricolored generally means a bay with white.
If the stallion is homozygous for dun but has produced red dun foals...the foal could be dun, or red dun. If the mare and stallion carry the a (black) gene they could produce a grulla.
The presence of spotting will depend on the genetics of the mare. If she is homozygous for the tobiano gene the foal will be tobiano and some color of dun.
Heterozygous tobiano or frame overo the foal will be dun and spotted 50% of the
time. If the mare is a tovero (carries the frame and tobiano genes) the foal will
have a high chance of tobiano or overo patterning.
Sabino spotting patterns could be present in the stallion with no real apparent signs and if the mare have sabino genetics...white patterning could vary considerably.
If the stallion is heterozygous for dun and the mare is heterozygous for tobiano or overo...color and white patterns as well as solid non dun coloring is possible.
They could have both a paint mare and a paint stallion. They also can have a plain colored mare or stallion and a paint mare or stallion. However, a reputable breeder will not cross two Paint horses that each have a lot of white. This increases the risk of a pure white foal, which is congenitally lethal - pure true white foals generally die within a week of birth.
This depends on the DNA characteristics. If your mare or the stallion is homogeyous for a colour or pattern, then that will likely show up in the foal.
If you are to "hand" breed a mare and a stallion it is much safer and the situation is controlled versus if the mare and stallion are alone together in a pasture either one of them could get hurt very seriously either from biting or kicking.
yes. as long as one of the parents has a pinto/paint breed/coloring you can get a paint foal
A male horse kept for breeding is called a stud.
Stud is the term for the breeding farm where stallions are kept and not the term for the stallion or breeding itself. Many factors go into how often a stallion can be bred, the quality of the semen, the method used for breeding, and the how reproductively fit the mares you are breeding are. If the stallion is of good quality semen wise you can breed him multiple times daily during live cover (with a real mare.) Or collect several samples for artificial breeding.
it's called stud fees, when you pay a stallion's owner to cover your mare.
Mare owners who are not directly involved in the breeding process (handling the mare or the stallion during the breeding process), should: 1) Determine the reason for breeding... a. If the foal is to be sold 1. Target market and the best stallion to use for the mare's breeding to optimize foal value and performance ability b. If the mare is being bred for personal use or as a replacement 1. Owner should determine whether their desire to breed is realistic and whether their goal is achievable 2) Determine if the mare can or should be bred. a. Is the mare well bred, conformationally correct, good temperament b. Is the mare breeding sound c. Can the owner afford any emergencies or regular expenses associated with breeding/foaling or issues with the early neonatal foal. d. Is the owner willing to risk the loss of the mare due to a foaling accident (while this may be a rare occurance it can still happen) 3. Owner will be required to provide culture results on the mare to be bred If this question refers to the handling of either a mare or stallion during the actual breeding process the handler needs to ally themselves with someone who can show them the specifics of general handling. Realize that every mare and stallion is different. Handlers must have enough experience to be able to determine the safest way to deal with individual horses. The breeding process can be extremely dangerous, it is imperative that the safety of everyone involved (including the stallion and the mare) is of primary concern.
It all depends on what kind of breeding you are doing and what type of stallion your breeding to and also your mare. some stallions are very well behaved and gentle but others can get a little aggressive and excited. Mares can also act up with squeeling and kicking.
The feminine form of stallion is mare. Stallions are male horses, while mares are female horses.
Horses are Polygyny in their breeding style. A stallion will mate with any mare in his harem that is in heat, and will try to steal mares from other stallions. A mare typically only mates with the current band stallion, but may wander off and breed with another available stallion.
The mare may have a caslicks. The stallion may be large or starting to flower a bit which will make it difficult for him to penetrate especially if she is small. Mare may be tall and not breaking down so that the stallion cannot reach her effectively.
