Warmblood News Warmblood News Volume XV, Issue 10 June 2005 OUR FEATURED BREEDER: Reed Hill Farm Being raised on horseback riding bareback from the age of three, playing cowboys and Indians on her Shetland pony mare "Peanut", Carolyn Reed of Reed Hill Farm in Eagleville, TN grew up in horses thanks to her grandfather’s and mother’s passion for them! Carolyn showed Quarter horses in western classes, thoroughbreds in the hunters, and dressage during high school and college. While becoming a nurse, Carolyn worked on several horse farms feeding, grooming, cleaning, riding and training. Carolyn quickly fell in love with the warmblood breed while working for one of the first American Warmblood Registry Holsteiner breeders (stallions Malthus and Figaro) in Tallahassee, FL "Oak Marsh Stud Farm" for the late Marlies Smith. Carolyn quickly discovered how powerful, elegant, and athletic warmbloods were, and she was hooked! Carolyn and Harry stand 6 year old AWR lifetime approved stallion Fuerst Grayheart R. Purchased as a weanling from Rainbow Equus Meadows, Grayheart’s sire is the legendary elite Hanoverian show jumper Fuerst Gotthard, and his dam is the elite Hanoverian show jumper, Santa Barbara (San Fernando). Grayheart is a stunning heavy boned and muscled grey stallion with a white blaze and three white socks. Standing 16.3+h, Grayheart offers smooth toplines, high neck sets, good legs, added suspension and extension to his offspring. He is a very good cross on finer boned mares. Grayheart is not homozygous for grey, he produces grey, chestnut, and bay! Grayheart’s stud fee is $900, which includes the booking, and the first collection and shipping. LFG! This May, Carolyn, husband Harry, son’s Matt and little year old Harrison, loaded up their bay AWR yearling colt Farscape RH (Fuerst Grayheart R / Poly Phagia xx) and two year old AWR filly Cartier RH (Fuerst Grayheart R / Euless xx) and headed 5 hours to the KDA Breeders Classic I and II in Lexington, KY! The weather was beautiful, still cool in the morning, sunny and breezy in the afternoons! Wednesday the judge was Melissa Creswick, handling for both days were Angela Hecker-Jackson and Christine Quilling. Cartier (gray filly above pictured with handler, Christine Quilling) came in 3rd place for 2 year old Fillies with comments of "strong type, free mover" and scores of 7.6 to 7.9. Farscape (bay colt to the right pictured with handler, Melissa Creswick) came in 2nd place and Reserve Champion for Yearling Colts/Geldings with comments of "strong hind quarters, clear mover, uphill" and scores of 7.3 to 7.5. Wednesday Cartier and Farscape achieved 2nd place for Get Of Sire and Breeders Group with scores from 7.5 to 7.7.

    livestock breeding LIVESTOCK BREEDING The achieved genetic gain is determined by two factors – the genetic potential of animals and environmental conditions in which this potential may be realised. To obtain high productivity levels while ensuring good animal fertility and health, both of these factors have to be refined simultaneously. Genetic improvement is a long-term and costly process that requires a consistent approach to selection and matching. The nucleus herds supervised by the National Support Centre for Agriculture (Krajowy Ośrodek Wsparcia Rolnictwa – KOWR) represent a high genetic level, which, in order to be maintained, necessitates drawing on global genetic resources, including the use of Polish- and foreign-bred bulls for breeding. Apart from using the semen of prominent bulls, embryo transfer constitutes one of the most effective and relatively quick methods enabling genetic gain. The primary objective of embryo transfer is to produce bulls for insemination and heifers bred for improving their own herds. In 2017, a total of 1,272 embryos were obtained and 984 embryos were transferred. Transfer efficacy was 57%. A high animal genetic potential is displayed only in good environmental conditions, when a proper nutrition programme based on balanced feed intake is ensured. Our companies have built new livestock buildings or modernised the existing ones, using innovative and functional technical solutions applied in the global livestock building industry. In barns, cows can move around freely, enjoy easy access to feed and have uninterrupted air circulation. With a loose-housing system, it was possible to identify technological and feeding groups, depending on the milk yield and physiological status of cows, as well as to apply precise feed rations under the TMR feeding system.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    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.

  • Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865)
    Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865) Old Capitol at Williamsburg with Guests shown on Horseback and in a Horse-drawn Carriage Virginia History Series #11-08 © 2008 First Horse Races in North America/Virginia (1665/1674) The first race-course in North America was built on the Salisbury Plains (now known as the Hempstead Plains) of Long Island, New York in 1665. The present site of Belmont Park is on the Western edge of the Hempstead Plains. In 1665, the first horse racing meet in North America was held at this race-course called “Newmarket” after the famous track in England. These early races were match events between two or three horses and were run in heats at a distance of 3 or 4 miles; a horse had to complete in at least two heats to be judged the winner. By the mid-18th century, single, "dash" races of a mile or so were the norm. Virginia's partnership with horses began back in 1610 with the arrival of the first horses to the Virginia colonies. Forward thinking Virginia colonists began to improve upon the speed of these short stocky horses by introducing some of the best early imports from England into their local bloodlines. Horse racing has always been popular in Virginia, especially during Colonial times when one-on-one matches took place down village streets, country lanes and across level pastures. Some historians claim that the first American Horse races were held near Richmond in Enrico County (now Henrico County), Virginia, in 1674. A Match Race at Tucker’s Quarter Paths – painting by Sam Savitt Early Racing in America Boston vs Fashion (The Great Match Race) Importation of Thoroughbreds into America The first Thoroughbred horse imported into the American Colonies was Bulle Rock (GB), who was imported in 1730 by Samuel Gist of Hanover County, Virginia.

The yards of the Prince Kar! of Trauttmansdorff-Weinsberg ( 1845-1921) were leased by the Austrian­ Hungarian Agricultural Ministry and the horses were accommodated there after the troublesome joumey. After 1916 all military studs were dissolved by the govemment at that time and the military stud of Hostau was converted into a regular stud farm . Three stallions were assigned to Hostau: an Arab half-breed, an English half-breed and a Hanoverian. The main stud with 200 mares and three stallions was placed at the fannyard in Zwirschen. After the end of the war, the horses were transferred to Klattau, but as soon as normal conditions were gained again, the remaining horses returned back to Hostau. Some years later the leasehold became property of the Czechoslovakian state. After 1918 the majority of the fields were converted into pastures. The area of 1200 acreswas reduced to 250 acres for husbandry. The number of horses was 500 at this time. The stud fa rm increased. Some thoroughbred mares and thorougbbred and half-breed stalli ons were purchased abroad.
