A HWO France TRAIT Anyone?
EDIT: HWO French TRAIT is now up and running!
So I've just started up the Trait du Nord breeding community, so far one member woooo! (That's me). Yeah the breeding community forum can be a little slow for the newer breeds, so I was wondering if it might be cool to start up a kind of France TRAIT, i.e. a breeding community for all of the French draught breeds, as it seems a lot of them are used for crossbreeding to one another. This would mean a far more active community as we get the activity of 9 for the price of 1. Hopefully it would lead to some successful breeding partners to!
The 9 breeds are:
Ardennais
Auxois
Boulonnais
Breton
Normand Cob
Poitevin
Percheron
Comtois
Trait du Nord
If I get some support I'd be so so happy to set this up and hopefully better a whole load of breeds all at once. So who's in?

I'm trying to breed Ardennais, just have Forest horse x Belgian at the moment, but it's looking promising. Count me in

Awesome! If you see any Belgians of mine that you could use to help you then just say the word.Buzzsaw wrote:I'm trying to breed Ardennais, just have Forest horse x Belgian at the moment, but it's looking promising. Count me in

Re: A HWO France TRAIT Anyone?
Oooh! Thank you! I won't need anything for a while, as I have two pairs of Forest x Belgian that I'm aging up. I'm hoping to get at least one Ardennais from them.

I breed a few Boulonnais and Comtois but they are on hold right now as I got side tracked with mini's and spotteds LOL!

Re: A HWO France TRAIT Anyone?
I'm breeding Bretons, Percherons, and Norman Cobs as I try to get to the breeds I'm after in the long run! So far all the mares I have are still in foal but when they all have their foals I'll link a few if any are alright.

Re: A HWO France TRAIT Anyone?
I managed to breed the first Auxois this morning so I'm super happy about that! I'd love to swap breedings/horses/pay well for Percherons or Bretons once I get a few more, or if there are others of mine that you're interested in then just let me knowgator vocals wrote:I'm breeding Bretons, Percherons, and Norman Cobs as I try to get to the breeds I'm after in the long run!

I'd also be really interested in setting up some breedings if you ever have either of those breeds available. I'd be willing to swap breedings/horses or pay well!Kintara wrote:I breed a few Boulonnais and Comtois but they are on hold right now as I got side tracked with mini's and spotteds LOL!
I'm going to go ahead and set up a France TRAIT post in the breeding communities section. I'd love to put you all in as recognised breeders if thats ok?

Sure, I usually have one of my Boulonnais up for stud but hadn't put any Comtois up as didn't think anyone would be interested. Does anyone else breed Comtois? I must get back into them!
