Look at my mare...Should I re-breed?

Cowgirl2ky--you would not be able to register your foal paint(Arabian is not an accepted breed cross), but you could register it pinto.

If i bred an unregistered mare we suspect she is quarter/arab to a registered paint .....i CAN register the foal so right? only as pinto ??

You can but it would probably end up costing you at least twice what the foals worth just to get it registered.

lil nicky · 02-28-2004, 08:07 AM

ok pinto works too. lol. I just want a backyard foal. I would sell it cheap as a weanling you know.

That's exactly the reason you SHOULD NOT breed your mare. The horse market is bad enough without adding pointless breedings to the mix. GOOD bloodlined AQHA and APHA weanlings are going as low as $150. You haven't stated any good reason to breed your mare. So why add to the problem?

lil nicky · 02-28-2004, 10:35 AM

ok so if you can find me a GOOD yearling or weanling that has good blod lines for that $ than I will change my mind. However it has to be in Canada B.C. so that I can purchase it w/o a hassle

i thought you wanted to sell the foal cheaply as a weanling? why then would you want to buy a different foal?

Unless you get the Pinto coloring your going to end up with a breeding stock registered Pinto too...and honestly there is NO market for them unless they are double registered with another breed association and of excellent quality!
Sorry, but that's the truth.... frown

so if you breed 2 registrered QH's and the foal comes out with a pinto pattern it can't be registered as a QH?? I never knew that! I though it would be a QH with pinto coloring... had no idea it had to be registered as a paint

No, 2 Quarter Horse parents that make a horse with any white where it shouldn't be by guidelines cannot be registered as a Quarter Horse. But it can be registered as a Paint.

A friend of mine's stud is like that, father was a sorrel, mother was a chestnut, he came out a sorrel with a splash of white on his shoulder. That didn't fit into the Quarter Horse guidelines, so he's a registered Paint.
