Remember The Thoroughbred Option - Seventeen

When bigger is not better STUDY SUCCESS!

As many have said in the past you can’t ride a pedigree, so it is no good going on pedigree alone. But a knowledge of pedigrees can also be a great help, although there will always be the outliers that are the exception, and genetic diversity that should be treasured.

I was reminded of this yesterday when that great Wexford huntsman and horseman Jeremy Cairns said to me,

“My wife’s dun hunter is ¼ trotter, ¼ Conny, ¼ Thoroughbred, and ¼ Tinker pony! Brilliant over any jump. We have yet to find any field to contain her…wall garden included!”

This hunter is 15.1hh but carries the weight and length of a 6ft 6ins Jeremy with great ease.

WEIGHTY MATTERS

Talking of carrying weight, the Thoroughbred horse in general is smaller and lighter than a warm blood…on average approx 200 lbs lighter when compared with a 16.2hh typical 40% Thoroughbred x warm blood. As force equals mass x acceleration the... More

Use The Power Of Siblings When Planning Your Breedings

Ken McLean was the first person to point out that Tesio targeted full siblings in his most successful breedings (Fairway xx /Pharos xx, St. Simonxx/Angelica xx, Sainfoin xx/Sierra xx, and Stockwell xx/Rataplan xx). It was a genetic key to the best racers he bred.

There is a positive genetic impact when close siblings are in your sport horse lineage. Statistically, adding close siblings of important ancestors has proven to be one of the most significant pedigree designs you can create to upgrade your sport horse’s potency. The power in the presence of siblings, especially full or three-quarter ones, will be demonstrated here.

“Full and three-quarter relatives in a pedigree seem to be able to gather the strength from the past and bring it forward for utilization in the current generation. They also appear to give a higher probability of success to the mating” (Harper 1997, 21–22).

Before we get going on this design, I should define siblings for you.... More

JAGUAR MAIL, HAND IN GLOVE XX & LAUDANUM XX

JAGUAR MAIL , the highly successful dual purpose sire, by the Thoroughbred HAND IN GLOVE XX , also has the French Thoroughbred stallion LAUDANUM XX as dam sire.

Laudanum xx was ridden by the elegant French rider Pierre Durand to many successes in Grand Prix, Nations Cup, and Puissance competitions, and is famous for his fantastic temperament which he passes on.

In his first two years as a stallion he suffered from the anti-Thoroughbred feeling, despite his great records in competition, but from just 18 offspring in his first two years he sired four Grand Prix show jumpers and gradually was used more.

In 2002 he was the leading sire of show jumpers in the USA and has several... More

Is It Good To Have Filly And Colt Factors In A Pedigree

Research of countless pedigrees of great racehorses reveals an unusually high percentage of top racehorses are inbred or linebred to famous mares. — Ken McLean, Tesio, Master of Matings, 1984, p. 49

When Clive Harper, a student of Harold Hampton, took his scientific training and applied it to pedigree pattern evaluation, he elevated our field of pedigree analysis into science.

Because of the variations in gene transmission, this was almost an impossible task, but Harper tested every one of the popular analysis beliefs and with controlled groups of test animals, he was able to come up with real percentages based on the statistics he derived.

There are general rules about what makes a pedigree good, such as having full or three-quarter siblings of excellent quality as a way to upgrade your horses being almost a guarantee of outstanding performance (as discussed in chapter 7). And we learned having sex-balanced linebreeding unlocks the full potential of a... More
