Camelot Ranch's Farm

Welcome To my Ranch! Here I am working on a new breed of horse that I MIGHT call either the Orkney Araloosa or the Orkney Warmblood. I will be setting up a breeding standard - all the horses will not exceed an COI of 12%.

Breed Standard for the Orkney Warmblood/Orkney Araloosa that I am working on creating:



*Colors/Patterns: Any color and pattern is fully recognized in this breed given the wide variety of breeds needed to keep the genetic integrity of the Orkney horse. However, appaloosa patterns (blanket, few spot, leopard, varnish roan etc.) are favored over most all other color patterns. Again, there are no color faults. Also, feathering is favored over horses without feathering on their hooves - this adds another layer of appeal to the breed if feathering is present; if feathering is not expressed, it is hoped that most of the horses carry the gene at the very least. And also, if the trend continues, gold champagne /champagne in general seems to be a fairly dominant color in the breed so far. 

Faults: 1. Dull coat color. 2. Obvious bruising and irregular marks. 3. Areas of injury. 


*COI: A COI greater than 12% is an immediate disqualifcation. A COI of 0%-12% is acceptable. 

Faults: 1. COI 12%+ is a disqualifier as a candidate for the breed. 


* Temperament: The breed is to be highly intelligent and personality preferably to be highly active yet calm in demeanor 

Faults: 1. Red intelligence. 


*Attributes: The breed is to have lots of Speed, Agility and Intelligence with plenty of stamina. All other traits are secondary in consideration. 

Faults: 1. Red speed. 2. Red agility. 3. Red stamina. 4. Red intelligence.


*Build: The horses should be Light to Medium-Light in build. Never to be too Heavy or Very Light in build. 

Faults: 1. Very light build. 2. Heavy draft build. 


* Back: The back is to be almost straight and parallel. Some slight bending (Incline) of the back is allowed but much like the croup .

Faults: 1. Deeply sloped croup. 2. Extreme incline on croup. 3. Hindquarters smaller than the forequarters. 4. Hindquarters larger than the forequarters. 


* Head: The head is to be almost arrow shaped but with a smooth taper from the forehead down to the muzzle. The muzzle should also be straight and without much bending. The skull is also to be parallel between the jaw and the forehead.

Faults: 1. Excessive head length. 2. No taper to the skull.


* Neck: The neck is to have the proportionate thickness relative to the size of the body. The neck is to not exceed the length of the size of the hindquarters altogether. 

Faults: 1. Excessively long neck. 2. Excessively short neck. 3. A neck almost the size of a draft breed (proportionate) is to be disqualified from the breed standard. 


* Legs: Legs are to be of medium length, not stubby and not too extremely long in length. 

Faults: 1. legs much longer than the body proportionately or otherwise is to be a major fault. 2. Legs short like that of a Shetland pony is an immediate disqualification. 


* Bone structure:  To be of light to medium-light in size. Not too heavy and not too light. 

Fault: 1. Very light bone structure. 2. Extremely heavy bone structure. 


* Hindquarters: The croup of the hindquarters may be slightly bent up, however not too much as to exaggerate the hindquarters - to be evenly proportionate to the rest of the body. Also, as stated previously, the hindquarters must not exceed in the proportionate size of the body of the animal or to be too small.

Faults: 1. Extreme bending (incline) of the croup. 2. Extreme size differentiation of the hindquarters proportionate to the body. 3.


* Forequarters: To be proportionate to the size of the hindquarters from the base of the forearm to the withers. 



Developer Note: This is a Work-In-Progress preview
We are currently working on this page but have allowed you to preview the work in progress. From this page you can view ALL of the horses on this farm, and search through them more easily. More information will be added to this page and the layout will be cleaned up over the next several days. If you have any suggestions please post in the forum.
