Welcome all
Current Goal
Im Currently trying to get a good line of Jumping Thoroughbreds together. Im trying to do this through selective breeding and purchasing.
Buying Horses
Under 40/40
I will buy horses with under 40/40 conformation if they have 70"+ jumping lines throughout their whole pedigree and are priced fairly cheap.
What will i do with them?
The idea of these horses is to simply jump them to make money from them.
If they are a stallion i will geld them. I dont plan on using these to breed.
However If they jump over 70"+ and they are a mare i may use them to breed. Once the geldings reach a age i feel they are no longer viable they will be retired, along with any mares who have not performed as well as desired. rarely will i sell any of these horses.
40/40 horses
Often i will purchase very well bred and conformed horses for jumping and future breeding, and will pay a pretty penny if i feel they are worth it.
Breeding Horses
I will always have some good proven jumping mares available that i will select stallions for to breed good lined jumping horses.
If the progeny are mares and are 40/40 i will often keep them myself. If they are below 40/40 i will probably sell them for the breeding fee.
If the progeny are 40/40 stallions, wether i sell them straight away or campain them depends on how many horses i have in my barn. All stallions below 40/40 are sold. I do not geld my own stallions, i choose to sell them instead. What you do with them is your own choice.
Sometimes i will keep under 40/40 mares if i need to increase numbers abit. This changes from time to time.
Training
i am not training due to not being on every day.
Showing
I will often keep showing my broodmares as the younger ones take a while to fully train.
Jumping
you will see on the forums if i want horses jumped
