Refreshment of good ideas in the equine sports

You must make your own mistakes.

Buy proven sport mares with ancestors that had not exactly been sitting still.

A method: outcrossing followed by inbreeding. By outcross I mean the introduction of foreign blood by means of a proven sire. Then we start crossing them with each other, in fact I always prefer to call this line breeding rather than inbreeding. We are now in the process of realizing stages 4 to 5 a further outcross with a common combination.

This is followed by the second line breeding phase. The products are sharply selected on desirables quality, we only breed on the best of them. That is how the bioindustry produces more milk or eggs than the predecessors. A disadvantage with horses is that development takes much longer.

Selection first approach: Pedigree, Conformation, and lose schooling looking for the natural motion (body position, stride, etc).

When looking for a convenient mating, mainly consider the descent of both mare and sire, which must be of flawless pedigree and noblest blood.

Beauty is no held as high as pure blood and performance, they prefer a hardy and strong sire who is known to be fast and has no major defects to any stallion of the far more striking beauty, of which performance they are not sure. (1851 Jager)

Preserve their perfections not to impose the breed, no bad habits, little importance in conformation but great deal to pure descent because they guarantee outstanding qualities.

Cross breeding in earlier generations are less to adapt.

In Constitution find: Hardiness, Endurance, Character and Intelligence.

He is a very perfect animal, he is not large here and small there. There is a balance and harmony through his frame not seen in the other horses.

The quintessence of all good qualities is a compact form.

The importance in the Gallop: Galloping in such regular pace and easy stride than the Prince would say his rider was able to sleeping and low.

Look for Character, that means: Courage, High spirit, Vitality and Gentleness, rather than beauty.

Quiet temper plus natural balance, gives pleasant ride.

The expression of the eyes is like a woman in love (Prince Badr)

The concept: A Family Mare.

Best horse? Black the beauty, Chesnut the speed , a small leggy Grey mare, Happiness and Prosperity – and Good Luck!!

Walk to sedate, Gallop, long and slow.

Above all my recommendation is to devote great care to broodmare their backs are seats of honor and their bellies are inexhaustible treasures (Ammo 1834)

Paradise on earth is found on the back of a good horse, in the story of good books or between the breasts of a woman (a Thales)

Those who forget the lessons of the past are condemned to repeat them.

Buy or Hold proven mares, no age.

Behind every great horse is an excellent mare.

Make a honest look.

Blue blooded mares, up to 12 so in special care and number not out of hand, near a river, out form the road use only a half of land rest or give to local farmers, stable the mares and yearlings, all mares comes in different sizes , sire to each individual, create your own family roots, have a little luck.

Nicks, the statistics analysis of failures are included??? False propaganda.

Dosage index, Darley Arabian too??

See the Power, size ribs and great forelegs.

Create a quality control method with constant improvements, like new info knowledge about genetics and technological advances

Upon this all will test on a clever and important measurements of all individuals to intent to purchase.

Measurements / Class Pedigree Aptitude Conformation.

It’s a process with unique quality individuals that are similar in size, temperament aptitude and class. Regularly all classic horses come from this.

Old saying: Its pedigree tell us what an animal ought to be and its performance tell us what “appears to be” but its progeny tell us what an animal is.

Birth date, conformation and an extraordinary second mare.

Hear everybody around like grooms, trainers in this order, ask for extraordinary behavior (rest, eats, jog temperament in and out the works or the training field)

Find clues as a great heart over lameness or gallop like on a wheel chair or wildlings to fight.
Its not enough to be good one must do it in the right way.

Aging and Genetics:
Sperm divides itself 33 times a year, over 3 decades, about 660.
Changes molecular structure, reason why the gray hair appears.
Best mares produce between 5, 6 and 7 year of age.
Most production between 5 to 10 years of age, Seatle Slew (5+4/ 9)
No great mares more than 17 to 30 in combination with the age of the sire, examples Forego (6+11), Cigar (8+7) Seabiscuit (6+6) Ribot (11+10)
Sire of Sires Average: 7.6+8.4 or 8.6+7.4
Northern Dancer (6+3) Sadlers Wells (19+5) Storm Cat (4+6)
Bayacoa, 6+9
Paseana, 5+9

The winners pedigree shows that he well improve with the next steps of the Argentine Triple Crown

Congratulations to all Breeders Owners,  that aren't from the more known Argentine studs, showing and proving the greatest of this sport where anyone can have a chance.

September 2012 New season starting

As every year Argentine race and polo activities starts.

This year as in  the past couple of years didn't present any notable thing to talk about.

The Argentine Crown Jewels are starting to be run, as its started with the Argentine Stakes named Polla de Potrancas similar to the 1000 guineas Stk., for fillies only born in 2009.

As in the recent years in my opinion,  this year was the worst band of  Argentine fillies en decades.

But in this darkness, some rare thing appeared like a horse named Curioso Johan *by Johannesburg ,  amazingly won his madden race by several (11) lengths, over 8 furlongs/ dirt (1600 m.) in 1. 34. 14 at the Argentino Palermo Racetrack.
Next Saturday he will be running over the same track and distance, the Argentine 2000 guineas named Polla de Potrillos.

Also there is a filly by Footstepsinthesand that won impressively in the La Plata racetrack that shows potential.  I will recall this one in my next reports.

Also in my next reports the Argentine Polo Teams for this year with a lot of surprises.
