To achieve this goal, Harli Seifert‘s former stallion station in Lodbergen was altered as well as expanded and turned into a highly modern training center. When it comes to advising breeders and fer- tility management for mares as well as help in marketing offspring, service is written in capital letters in Lodbergen! THE DLZ Under the direction of Urs Schweizer dressage horses of the very best quality are also strictly selected for the sales stables in the perfectly equipped training center in Lodbergen. All of them were raised here and are predominately by the stallions stationed in Lodbergen. Healthy nurtured, carefully schooled and excellently trained, they have everything it takes for upper level sport. We always have a good number of young talents in our sales stables ready for your inspection – from foals to soundly trained dressage cracks and even licensed stallions.

    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

The data were collected from the Holsteiner Körung und Reitepferde – Auktion catalogues. Based on the analysis of 869 pedigrees (up to the fifth generation inclusive), inbreeding coefficients (F), expressed as a percentage for each stallion, were calculated. The highest F values were recorded in 2003 (2.05%) and 2004 (1.74%). Statistically significant differences in the F values of the stallions from individual years were found. The outcomes of the present study show that the breeding work based on conscious assumptions is carried out in order to increase an inbreeding level in the sport horses’ production, regarding at the same time that the value of the inbreeding coefficient cannot be too high. Key words: inbreeding, Holstein, stallions, classification, breeding INTRODUCTION standing ancestors and subsequently consolidating desi- red traits [Pikuła and Werkowska 2009, 2011a, 2011b].

Be a part of this amazing production. New articles are due JANUARY 31 – if you want to compete for a prize (painted artist resin). See details in this newsletter. We are already working on classlist changes for next season. In the last ten years, we have tried to maintain class numbers and just apply bandaids when issues crop up. One issue is balance – some classes (e.g. Division A, class 1: light breed stallions) are huge, and while a qualifier judge may split the class, the class remains crazy-large in the annual championship. Should division A have a different class list than the other divisions? Also, showers are sometimes not sure which breed classes to put their horses in and judges want to judge like against like – and not have Haflingers showing up in three different breed classes for example! Mustangs are another problem – the classlist we inherited specifies “all mustangs” should be shown in the “stock” division, even though Spanish mustangs may look more like Spanish horses than stock horses (i.e.
