Edison-Thoroughbred Stallion Edison - Thoroughbred Stallion (2011 • 16.1h) Grade 3 Winner of $197,900 by Bernardini - Hearts of Grace, by Exploit Bernardini - Eclipse Champion 3YO colt - Earnings: $3,060,480. - $100,000 stud fee for 2017 - Proven sire of the superstar racehorse, the sales-ring smasher, and now making a name for himself as a sire of sires. - As per the BLOODHORSE’s Stallion Registry, there were 350 stallions that stood their first season in 2013 (for foals of 2014). - Of the 122 freshmen stallions whose progeny earnings are listed in the BLOODHORSE’s leading First Crop Sire List, there are four sons of Bernardini in the top 18 stallions listed, (and five in the top 28). - Bernardini has sired Ten (10) Graded Stake winners in 2016, with total progeny earnings of $ 9,859,116. (Nov28/16). Edison: Career Highlights 13 starts - 4 wins - 0 - 2 Broke his maiden second time out at Gulfstream; won allowance at Canterbury Downs then came right back to win his first added money event in the Harry Jeffrey Stakes (ASD – 8 ½ f). Edison then shipped to Edmonton for his romp in the G3 Canadian Derby. Also raced third in the Luke Kruytbosch Stakes at Turf Paradise. Blood-Horse (August 2014) - Edison Lights Up in Canadian Derby Romp (video) After setting in mid-pack early in the Canadian Derby Stakes (Gr 3), Edison took charge at the quarter pole and romped to an eye-widening 11 1/2-length triumph at Northland's Park. There was no catching the Florida-bred Edison through the stretch as he extended his command with each stride for the open-lengths triumph as the 5-2 second choice in the 11-horse field. Bred in Florida by Destiny Oaks of Ocala, Edison was a $950,000 purchase by Coolmore bloodstock adviser Demi O'Byrne at the 2013 Fasig-Tipton Florida March sale of selected 2-year- olds in training. Darley.com When the Bernardini colt Edison rounded the final turn in the G3 Canadian Derby, there was absolutely no doubt he'd take command for the win. The three-year-old colt became the newest Graded Stakes winner for his sire. Edison sat back in fifth position in the early stages of the race. Approaching the final turn the colt loomed large to take over the lead easily, and rolled in the stretch to clear away a winner. Bred by Destiny Oaks of Ocala, Edison is out of Heart Of Grace, a half-sister to G2 winner Broad Dynamite. The family traces to G1 winners Very Subtle and High Schemes. Blood-Horse (January 2014) - Edison Powers to Gulfstream Maiden Turf Win. Ridden in the eighth race by Luis Saez, 8-1 shot Edison broke running the rail post and never stopped, leaving 6-5 favorite Notability behind at the top of the stretch. He pulled clear to win by 4 3/4 lengths in 1:49.22 for nine furlongs. Thoroughbred Daily News - "Light Bulb on for Edison" EDISON - Away well from his rail draw, he dictated terms from the get-go, clocking early splits of :23.68 and :47.95. Notability (English Channel) pressed him every step of the way and the pair were 10 lengths clear of their competition on the backstretch. The field began to catch up in the lane, but Edison was never seriously threatened and strode home to a four-length graduation. Edison, a graded stakes winning son of leading sire Bernardini, from the female family of Breeder's Cup Sprint (G-1) winner Very Subtle, will be entering his second year of stud duty in 2017. Edison, has the sire power, a wonderful family, a good temperament and his conformation is outstanding (given he sold for $950,000 as an un-raced 2 yr old in training). Rarely does a stallion prospect like this get introduced into a regional market. Covered 24 mares in 2016. First Foals arrive in 2017. 2017 Stud Fee: $2,500 * Live Foal stands and nurses * - call for stud fee consideration regarding your mare’s pedigree, race record, racing progeny, and/or multiple breedings.

  • Mules and Hinnies Factsheet
    FACTSHEET: OWNERS MULES AND HINNIES Mules and hinnies are similar. They are both a cross between a horse and a donkey, with unique characteristics that make them special. Because they are so similar, the terms ‘mule’ and ‘hinny’ are used interchangeably, with hinnies often being referred to as mules. KEY FACTS ABOUT MULES AND HINNIES: Mule: The result of a donkey stallion mating with a female horse. Mules tend to have the head of a donkey and extremities of a horse. Hinny: The result of a horse stallion mating with a female donkey. Hinnies are less common than mules and there might be subtle differences in appearance. Size: Varies greatly depending on the stallion and mare. Ranging from 91-172 cm. Health: Hardy and tough. They often have good immune systems. Strength: Extremely strong. They pull heavy loads and carry much heavier weights than donkeys or horses of a similar size. Behaviour: Intelligent and sensitive. They can have unpredictable reactions. Appearance: Ears smaller than a donkey’s, the same shape as a horse’s. The mane and tail of a hinny is usually similar to a horse. Vocalisation: A mixture of a donkey’s ‘bray’ and a horse’s ‘whinny’. Sex: Male is a ‘horse mule’ (also known as a ‘john’ or ‘jack’). Female is a ‘mare mule’ (also known as a ‘molly’). Young: A ‘colt’ (male) or ‘filly’ (female). What is hybrid vigour? Hybrid = a crossbreed Vigour = hardiness or resilience • ‘Interbreeding’ (crossbreeding) can remove weaker characteristics and instead pass on desirable inherited traits. This is ‘hybrid vigour’, a term often associated with mules and hinnies.

  • The Effect on Performance in Descendents of New Forest Pony Stallions, That Have the Clc-1 Gene Mutations That Leads to Congenit
    The effect on performance in sports in descendents of CLCN1 gene mutation carrier New Forest pony stallions Authors: D.M. Dickhoff; I.D. Wijnberg Abstract Aim of the study: To determine if ponies descending from a CLCN1 gene mutation carrier stallion perform better in sports, compared to ponies that do not descent from a CLCN1 gene mutation carrier stallion. Study design: Data analysis of 11.414 New Forest ponies, in which the relationship between the descent of the ponies and their sport performance are analyzed. Methods: Ponies were divided in jumping, dressage and eventing categories. They were listed categorically from the lowest category to the highest and descendents from mutation carrier stallions were marked. Statistical analysis with logistic regression between the sport categories and within the categories has been performed using SPSS version 19. Significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Ponies descending from a mutation carrying stallion are significantly better performing in jumping. The odds of finding a descent in the highest jumping category is 7.6 compared to the lowest. In dressage, descendents from a gene mutation carrier stallion are performing significantly better, with an odds of 4.1 for performing in the highest category. In eventing, the odds of finding a descendent from a mutation carrying stallion in the highest category is 2.9 compared to the lowest. Conclusion and clinical relevance: Ponies that are descendants of a mutation carrying stallion are performing significantly better in jumping, dressage and eventing. This conclusion might lead to breeding programs which includes stallions who carry this mutation, aiming to breed better performing ponies in equine sports, which is in contrast of the aim of the Studbook to eradicate the mutation.

  • 2020 Autumn Stallion Inspection RESULTS with Comment
    New Forest Pony Breeding and Cattle Society 2020 Autumn Stallion Inspection As with most 2020 events, the planned April inspection had to be cancelled, but with Covid-19 restrictions easing into the autumn, all owners on the April list were invited to what was necessarily a ‘behind closed doors’ inspection held with strict adherence to the government’s current Covid-19 regulations. With most owners taking up the offer, it was a busy morning, on a lovely sunny day. The top colt, by a good margin, was Mallards Wood Saint John, bred by Robert Maton. It was most pleasing that two colts who had come through the Futurity Scheme, Limekiln Shamrock and Mogshade Quarryman, made the top five, with Shamrock being the top Forest-bred colt. All the approved colts must now complete the vetting and DNA and PSSM1 testing procedures before they are fully licensed. The top five colts were: Mallards Wood Saint John (Y59/097) Miss Victoria Edwards-Sonnex Sire: Applewitch Pure Magic (S34/105) Dam: Mallards Wood Goddess (M43/428) Nutschullyng Saint Raphael (Y60/093) Mrs Wendy Gover Fromm Sire: Brookshill Mustang (S46/096) Dam: Glamorous Gift (M52/273) Limekiln Shamrock (Y60/256) Mr Mike Eccles Sire: Cameron Luck of The Irish (S56/070) Dam: Limekiln Fudge (M46/654) Mogshade Quarryman (Y60/063) Mrs Jehanna Stride Sire: Rushmoor Dalesman (S57/150) Dam: Cuffnells Fun Fair (M49/542) Haywards Stormstruck (Y60/114) Mr P & Mrs A Pidgley Sire: Haywards Impressionist (S50/561) Dam: Wraggletaggle Gypsy (M42/420) The following colts were also approved: Berrywood Wind Dancer

  • Tail Docking in Horses: a Review of the Issues

In 2004, opponents to this decision submitted a Bill (Doc51 0969/001) to Parliament, intending to obtain derogation for Belgian draught horses, which were traditionally docked. The Animal Welfare Council of Belgium, an official body advising the Minister of Public Health, was asked to evaluate this complex question, including biological, ethical and socio-economic aspects, on the basis of the available peer-reviewed studies. In this context, this study reviews legal aspects (overview of the European legislation), zootechnic aspects (uses of the Belgian draught horse) and biological aspects (pain potentially related to docking; horses’ welfare linked to insect harassment and hygiene, communication and reproduction) of tail docking in draught horses. We conclude that (1) there is no benefit for horses in tail docking, including Belgian draught horses, (2) potential advantages of docking are essentially in favour of humans and these advantages could be scrupulously re-evaluated, taking into account practices of other countries.

  • Reproductive Behavior of the Stallion
    Behavior 0749-0739186 $00.00 + .20 Reproductive Behavior of the Stallion Sue McDonnell, Ph.D.* The article begins with a brief description of the reproductive behavior of semi-wild and feral horses, which is intended to provide a background on the reproductive patterns and the specific behavioral elements comprising courtship and mating in the horse. The remain- der of the article focuses on the domestic stallion. Various breeding conditions are described, including normal breeding performance. Fi- nally, considerable attention is devoted to sexual behavior problems. SEMI-WILD AND FERAL ENVIRONMENT Considerable observational information has amassed concerning the behavior of semi-wild and feral horses throughout the world. The following summary of reproductive behavior is based on descriptions of behavior of free-running horses in the Western United States and Canada, in the New Forest of Southern England, in Poland, and on islands off the coast of North America. 1, 5, 8, 10, 13, 21, 24, 25, 29, 30 Each of these populations, although free-running for most or all of the year, is subject to breeding or population management. Reproductive Patterns Free-running horses are polygynous, seasonal breeders with some overlap of the late spring to midsummer foaling and mating seasons. Breeding occurs within a harem group that generally consists of one stallion and several mares with their foals and yearling offspring. The harem group is a relatively stable social unit year-round. Most of the matings observed among the Pryor Mountain, Western Canadian, Pol- ish, and New Forest populations are between April and July. Although most harem mares will be bred by the harem stallion, younger mares may be bred by Syear-old colts that are occasionally tolerated as group members by a harem stallion.

  • Comparing the Physiological and Biochemical Parameters of Mules and Hinnies to Horses and Donkeys
    Comparing the physiological and biochemical parameters of mules and hinnies to horses and donkeys Amy K. McLean [North Carolina State University] Figure 1. Mules and hinnies comparing the commonalities and differences of these hybrids to their parents the donkey and horse. One of the most challenging things to do is distinguish a hinny from a mule based only on its appearance. Which is the mule and which is the hinny in this figure? Abstract: Mules and hinnies are hybrid offspring from donkeys (Equus asinus) and horses (Equus caballus). Little scientific information is known regarding mules and even less is known about hinnies the reciprocal cross. There have only been a few studies that have attempted to define commonalities and differences of these hybrids especially in terms of comparing and contrasting them to their sires and dams (donkeys and horses). This presentation will take a closer look at hinnies and mules from around the world and how they are used today as well as comparing both physiological and biochemical parameters of these unique creatures while addressing many of the fallacies and myths commonly associated with such equids with special attention being paid to hinnies. Recent studies conducted by the author and colleagues on comparing physiological, haematological, and biochemical parameters of both hinnies and mules from several countries will be shared in this review. In addition, interviews from both hinny and mule owners and breeders from Mexico, Colombia, US, Spain and Portugal will also be included in the presentation for a more comprehensive understanding of behaviour and training and how hinnies and mules are used today (Figure 1).
