Horse Breeding

When the American Quarter Horse Association was founded there were limits on the amount of white markings a horse could have. At that time it was felt that white feet for instance were weaker than dark colored feet (now proven not to be the case) and white faces were more prone to sunburn (true) and that blue eyes were a sign of blindness or weakness (not the case). There were many stockhorse type horses that had good working backgrounds but had too much white to be registered with AQHA. Later on the people who liked the horses with lots of white and felt that they were equal to the QH in ability formed their own association, the American Paint Horse Association. Since the QH breeders occasionally produced a foal with more white than AQHA allowed these were accepted into the Paint association as "cropout" Paints. Both associations only allow QH or TB cross breeding. A couple of years ago the AQHA changed their rules to make them more of a bloodline breed and allowed any horse within the Paint association that could prove all registered QH background (those cropouts) could also be registered as a QH since it was QH by bloodline. This has created the interesting situation of colored QH's (which are not allowed to show in the halter classes in AQHA shows since the amount of white they have is still considered to be not desirable) and horses that are registered with both associations. Within the Paint world there is one pattern that never goes back to all QH ancestry, the tobiano pattern. As a result of this no horse, even solids or overo's resulting from tobiano or tovero breeding, can be double registered with the AQHA.

Aggressive behavior like biting and kicking can be a sign of discomfort or pain, but it does not necessarily mean that the mare is pregnant. It's important to have a veterinarian examine the mare to rule out any medical issues or evaluate her reproductive status. If she is pregnant, behavior changes could be due to hormonal fluctuations or physical discomfort associated with the pregnancy.

You risk having it fail. Birth control works by having a constant level of synthetic hormones that prevent your ovaries from preparing/releasing eggs (known as ovulation). If you take the pill at different times each day, you risk having the levels of synthetic hormone drop and allowing an egg to be released (and possibly allowing yourself to become pregnant).

Friesians can continue breeding up to their late teens, but fertility may decline with age. It's best to consult with a veterinarian or equine reproductive specialist to determine the most suitable breeding age for individual Friesian horses based on their health and reproductive condition.

This depends on the mare and her condition. Usually, it's fine for the mare to be bred up until she's in her early 20s. Anything past this should be considered with a vet's approval first. Generally, larger breeds aren't able to do this, so think twice before breeding your draft horse once she hits 18 or so.

In "The Chronicles of Narnia," various horse breeds were used, including Shire horses and Arabians. These breeds were chosen based on their characteristics and abilities to suit the different roles and personalities of the horses in the stories.

The act of a horse giving birth is called foaling. It typically occurs after a gestation period of around 11 months. During foaling, the mare will undergo labor and deliver the foal, usually within 30 minutes to an hour.

It will be several months before her abdomen starts to expand, so if you want to know as soon as is practical, call the vet about forty-five days after service. They can tell you if the horse is pregnant or not.

The unusual aspect of the horse breeding magazine was that it featured articles on growing roses instead of focusing solely on horses. This unexpected topic divergence caught the attention of readers and sparked curiosity.

This very much depends on the mare.

Mares that are being used for performance are generally placed on progesterone

based products to prevent them from cycling into heat during competition. The mare is allowed to enter heat between shows.

The Jockey Club (Thoroughbred registry in US) registers about 37,000 foals every year with the majority from, of course, the Bluegrass state, Kentucky. Followed by Florida, California and New York.

Irish horse breeding and American horse breeding both focus on breeding horses for specific disciplines, such as racing, eventing, or show jumping. Both industries also prioritize bloodlines, conformation, and performance potential in their breeding programs. Additionally, both Irish and American breeders place a strong emphasis on the health, soundness, and athleticism of their horses.

If she is healthy and well kept, a mare can have a foal every year from age around 3. I personally know one mare who had a foal every year for 21 years, an another who had her last foal at age 33.

yes infact most arabians carry their tails to one side because they prefer it there and normally they will carry their tails to one side when they are standing still it norrmally can't be fixed when it comes to arabs.

genes carry the traits of the parents to be passed on to the offspring. they are also responsible for diversity, because genes also mutate. genes can express differentially depending on its environment. gene expression is regulated

You must already have a Purebred Spanish. Or you can buy a Purebred Spanish horse in the sales already purebred. It is impossible to make a breed or breed two breeds of horses to make another breed in Howrse. Only the Administration can make new breeds.

Friesian horses originated in the Netherlands, but with their growing popularity have spread across the world. They can now be found in significant numbers throughout Europe, Australia, North America, South Africa, Canada, and even South America.

I would get the vet birth is normally a rapid process and over before you know it.You could loose mare and foal if not carefull. The mare will get tired and then unable to give birth.There is a danger the foal is at a strange angle and stuck. If the foal gets starved of oxygen it could become brain damaged so good luck act now and I hope all is well.

yes you can. you have to have a boy and girl horse first(duh) You go to the back of the one barn o the door and i think it says breeding barn or something... then the baby horsie just appears in a stall and you name it and take care of it.

Your thinking of petz horses 2 not petz horse club cuz i have tried that and it didn't work.

Yeah, s/he was totally thinking of a different game. Sorry, but no, you cannot breed horses on Petz Horse Club for Wii. The closest I've ever gotten is seeing wild foals pop up out of the blue, but otherwise, no.

7 inches is above average, so on the big side. You would not want it any bigger. Too big can be awkward for having sexual intercourse. Bigger might be more visually stimulating for some women but not all. 6 inches erect is considered average.

If you are measuring it correctly, along the top side looking down, abdomen to tip, then 7 inches is above average.

What color would the foal be?

I can't give you an exact answer, unless both the dam and sire have been DNA tested. However, I can give you a rough idea:

If the grey horse has one grey parent, the foal has a 50/50 chance of being grey. If the grey horse has two grey parents, the foal will either have a 50/50 chance of being grey, or a 100% chance of being grey (impossible to know without DNA testing).

Now, if the foal isn't grey, it could potentially be just about any color on the planet without knowing what genes the dam and sire carry.

To calculate a mare's estimated foaling date, you can use the mare's last breeding date as a reference point. A mare typically has a gestation period of around 11 months (340 days), so you can add this to the last breeding date to estimate the foaling date. It's also a good practice to have a veterinarian confirm the pregnancy and monitor the mare's progress.

As long as a male horse is horney (a stallion) he is able to stick it in. However, he will not get "turned on" unless in the presence of a mare who is wet. Mares go into heat twice a year: in the spring and summer. A mare is in horny for around 4-10 days and exact times vary from horse to horse.

Milk fever (post-parturient hypocalcemia) is generally considered a problem in animals that produce copious amounts of milk after the birth of their yopung. It is more common to be seen in dairy cows and dairy goats. It is a very rare problem in horses. The general symptoms of hypocalcemia are, low blood calcium, muscle weakness, tremors, staggering, below normal body temerature, dilated pupils, and heart arrythmia.
