Una my Friesian Horse

In theory, according to the stallion owner, from the genetics of the two of them the baby should be a black base blanket spot :D But it could come out any pattern i suppose!
Umm, what are you breeding her to? An Appy? lol Guess I didn't expect that. If so then yes, any pattern can be expected. What color is the sire? If he's a chestnut or black, then yeah you're gonna get black. :) Wow, even more fun surprises!

He is a rather nice Knabstrupper, premium graded and Best in Show at his grading - he is rather lovely. Una, beautiful as she is, is somewhat weak in her backend (a problem within the breed) and i wanted to produce myself something a bit stronger behind and this stallion puts some lovely engines on his foals :D
He is a chestnut base fewspot, guaranteed to produce colour on a solid mare. Una being a friesian is almost certainly homozygous for black so the foal should have a black base and somehow the breeder knew that the cross should produce a blanket pattern :confused: But im not overly fussed about the pattern. A black blanket spot would be perfect (my dream horsey!!) but a healthy baby and mum is the priority… Getting her in foal is problem number one! Fingers crossed she takes! :D

Oh a Knabstrupper! That was gonna be my second guess. lol Didn't know if you had many over there or not. :) Of course didn't know if you have Appys either. lol Sounds like a very interesting cross. I'm very curious to see what you get. Yep, you will get a black base then, my guess too knowing Una. :) I don't know if they have similar inheritance patterns or not, but hope you get what you want! Keeping my fingers crossed for you. :)
If you have any pictures of the future sire, I would love to see. Never seen one in person but rarely hear of them either. I have only seen photos of the leopard spotted I think?

Here is the future daddy, i hope! :D His name is Harley:

If you scroll down you can see some of his offspring. He is producing some gorgeous foals.

ooohhh I just post someting in your guestbook (of the website) for Una.. :D
She's really great, I love her body (her back is soooo very pretty build… :D)
Why won't you breed a Frisian foal?
I also love this choise of daddy.. wow he's great!A friend of my father breeds Frisian and Tinkers (I don't know if tinker is the proper english word....):
I always loved it to go to his stables and see the horses, he worked with the Friesian in front of the barousche.An other friend of us, he's a bit famous in Holland he is the only one permitted to ride the barousche with 6 Friesian for funerals.

Oooh, thanks for signing my guestbook :D Una has some very nice breeding, her dad (Brandus) is my idea of the perfect friesian! And her mum is also very nice and "ster" graded so obviously good quality! :D Una actually came over from Holland before i bought her in 2006 :D
The reason i decided not to breed her to a friesian is because the foal was purely for myself, whatever it is, i will keep it. Unless it is a colt and it is absolutely outstanding and "must" be kept entire, in which case i would maybe be willing to sell it on as i dont really have facilities for a stallion :rolleyes: Anyway, yeah, so although i LOVE friesians i wanted to produce myself something a little more versatile and athletic, that maybe would be capable of doing some jumping at a high-ish level as i do love my showjumping and eventing :D So, yeah, im breeding myself (hopefully, fingers and toes crossed!!lol) a perfect little baby for myself!
How lucky you are to have a friesian stud so close :D The "tinker" looks like a gypsy cob (or "vanner" i think in america). They have suddenly become really popular, some average looking ones are going for ridiculous amounts of money in america (like, $50k!!!). I could pick up much better quality ones from the local auctions for about ?200 - could make a fortune exporting them! :D Though, the one in the picture looks lovely! A good quality cob is just worth its weight in gold :D

$50???? there are many not pure bred Tinkers maybe? (also in Holland)
It's great to breed a foal for yourself :D
Breeding with horses is very beatiful, you can get a very close relationship with a foal growing up…
Keep us updated.... (I love to see pics of someones horses.... :D)
I really am so sad, we had to let the horse live go when we got sailing(I was born in the horses hahaha)... :(
So it's very nice to see some other horse stories and pics! -

I have had horses my whole life, and i come from a completely "non-horsey" family so its quite strange, they must all think im mad :rolleyes: I've never bred a horse before though so its rather nerve wracking. Im taking all the advice i can from vets and local breeders and just hoping and praying everything goes as planned :)
I will definately keep you all updated!
