Re: Yorkshire Coach Horse
Just produced several more fillies, one has a tiger eye, not sure if that is going to be included in the standards, but I'm going to encourage it in my lines.

Re: Yorkshire Coach Horse
I would encourage it. I would love to purchase some new blood actually. You should post when you have some.

Re: Yorkshire Coach Horse
Ok sounds good!

Re: Yorkshire Coach Horse
Right now I'm primarily breeding for conformation, I want a horse that is elegant, but still looks powerful. In other words, less stocky than the draft breeds and heavier than the riding horses.

Re: Yorkshire Coach Horse
It's nice this is an extinct breed so we have a little leeway in regards to standards. What if we added feathers?

Re: Yorkshire Coach Horse
Put one of my horses up for stud

Re: Yorkshire Coach Horse
I don't know how I feel about feathers in my line. There really isn't any in the TB or CB lines. I'm thinking my lines will be similar to the modern Standardbred.

Re: Yorkshire Coach Horse
ok, makes sense.

Re: Yorkshire Coach Horse
I like the body of Standardbreds, but I want my horses to have shorter faces, they're a bit long for my taste

Re: Yorkshire Coach Horse
And I've accidently produced a Yorkie while trying for a Norfolk, which I need for my breeding project for Canadians. :p Out of my ClevelandBay mare she's given me a Yorkie and a Mixed TB X CB by the same stud.Mothorchid wrote:Ha what a coincidence, I keep accidentally producing Norfolks trying to get these.
If my mare foals a Yorkie, and if you are interested/have one, would you consider trading a Yorkie for a Norfolk?
