Compliance 1.1 Key requirements of all Approved Stud Books in order to be able to sign the Declaration of Compliance: The SBA is recognised and/or supported by the relevant Government body as the sole organisation with responsibility for the recording of Thoroughbred breeding in a specified country or countries [Section 2.2 of this document].

  • 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.

KAys* Horse breeding is an art practiced for 5000 years. Scientific knowl­ edge of recent times has helped to make the results of breeding prac­ tices more certain and predictable. However, problems associated with reproduction still remain to perplex and plague the practical horseman. These problems are important. Compared to other livestock, horses have a lower reproductive rate and a longer gestation period. A longer time is required to grow a usable or salable animal.

  • Tennessees Greatest Stud Belle Meade
    TENNESSEE'S GREATEST STUD--BELLE MEADE WILLIAM RIDLEY WILLS, II With all the political, social, and economic ties between Ken- tucky and Tennessee• it seems normal that Belle Meade, Tennes- see's greatest stud farm, had close Kentucky connections. The Belle Meade Plantation began in 1807 when John Harding bought 250 acres of land and an old station located six miles southwest of Nashville on the Natchez Road. This trail, which had long been used by the Indians, was a route for boatmen, mail carriers, preachers, soldiers, and settlers traveling between Tennessee and Kentucky on the north and Natchez on the south. Harding was one of those tough farmers who periodically took slaves and produce on flatboats down the rivers to Natchez and New Orleans. The Belle Meade Stud dates to 1816 when the imported stal- lion Boaster stood at John Harding's. By the end of the decade such prominent Tennesseans as Sam Houston and Felix Grundy were boarding horses and ponies there. Grundy had moved to Nashville a few years earlier from Kentucky, where he had been chief justice of the state's supreme court. During the 1820s imp. [imported] Eagle, imp. Bagdad, and Sir Archy, Jr., stood at Harding's stable. 1 In the 1830s Harding's interests turned to cotton plantations in Louisiana and Arkansas. Accordingly, near the end of the decade he turned responsibility for managing Belle Meade over to his thirty-two-year-old son, William Giles Harding. The young- er Harding, who was already a brigadier general in the Tennes- WILLIAM RIDLEY WILLS, B.A., has served as president of the Tennessee Historical Society and is currently a trustee of Vanderbilt University.
