Yellow Riding Stud

Yellow Riding Stud
In pursuit of the ideal yellow riding horse.

I had this idea a while back and wanted to see if I could make it work. I'm attempting to create a well-rounded yellow/gold riding horse that is not diluted by cream, pearl, or champagne. Ideally dun will also be excluded.

The Ideal

• Breed: Grade
• Color: The horse's coat should be yellow or gold. Shade can range from dark to very bright but should be clearly yellow and not dark gray or near white. Mane and tail can be any color.
• Build: Horse type from Medium Light to Medium Heavy
• Temperament: Any is fine but must be changeable.
• Stats: Preference is given to the Hunter discipline so stats should focus first on Movement, followed by Strength, Tempo, and Balance.
• Conformation: Slightly longer, flat face with a shallow jowl. Neck should be medium length. Well-sloped shoulders with a low point. Deep ribs and flank preferred. Medium flat haunches with a long hip. Thick legs with a slightly more back stifle. Longer back. Medium uphill build.
• Heart: Horses must show at least some potential for heart. When better established each horse will be required to maintain a WPS of 70% or higher to be eligible for breeding.

Allowed Genes

• Extension: Any.
• Agouti: A⁺ is ideal, but A is permitted. Horses that express the a^t or a alleles are not permitted.
• Champagne: Prohibited beyond F1 for now.
• Cream/Pearl: Prohibited. Any horse found to carry a hidden pearl will be removed.
• Dun: Currently permitted, though crossing of two dun horses is discouraged.
• Grey: Prohibited.
• Pangare: Allowed. Loud expression encouraged.
• Roan: Allowed.
• Silver: Being evaluated. Currently allowed.
• Sooty: Allowed. Dapples preferred. Loud expression is discouraged.
• Tiger Eye: Allowed but not encouraged.
• Leopard: Prohibited
• Tobiano: Leg markings up to high stockings are allowed but smaller socks are preferred. Stars, snips, blazes, and badger faces are allowed. Body white is prohibited.

Reserved posts are finished. Feel free to post with questions or just to chat.

Stud 1

Przewalski
gg EE AA chch nn DD P? rr stysty zz Te? toto lplp
Intense pangare lightens his bay dan coat to a lovely shade. The hope is to eventually transfer this intense pangare expression onto foals that do not have dun.
Breeder's report is average. Movement comment is negative but other relative stats are average or better. Conformation is average.

Stud 4

Przewalski
gg EE AA chch nn DD P? rr stysty zz Te? toto lplp
Intense pangare to match stud 1. Purchased as a viable breed-back for offspring of stud 1. Preferred to stud 1 based on his long tail.

Good pangare expression for a brown.
Breeder's report is good for what he is. Trending in the right direction.
Conformation is okay. Needs much flatter hips.
Will be retained.

¤¥®¤ Forbidden Fruit

Grade
¤¥®¤ Wicked Lonely x ¤¥®¤ Peaches
gg E? A⁺a^t chch nn Dd P? rr stysty zz Te? toto lplp
Pangare expression is extremely faint but still noticeable. Has bright spots on his fetlocks which was unexpected but very welcome.
Breeder's report is good except for tempo.
Conformation leaves much to be desired. Too uphill, back is too short, legs too thing, hip too sloped, point of shoulder too high, shoulders too upright, jowl too thick.
Despite his conformational failings this colt is in training for score and
will be retained.

Bad base color but seemed promising for competition so is being trained.

Full brother to ¤¥®¤ Cloud Cover. Has a better base color. Will also be trained.

Not bred directly for the program but as an experiment to see if I could achieve any tobiano expression from a foal by an AC Prze. Obviously this colt has none.
This colt seems as though he may fit well with the program. His pangare expression is good and his black stockings are decently short. His breeder's report is much better than I would have expected with positives in all judged areas (movement, strength, tempo, balance).
His conformation leaves a bit to be desired, but his hips are flatter than a lot of my stock which could make him an asset. His breed mix is also desirable and should lend well to making new Grades.
Will be retained.

Nice pangare expression. Black stockings are decently short for a non-wild.
Breeder's report is lackluster but not downright terrible.
Conformation is decent. Needs flatter hips and shallower jowl. Point of shoulder should be lower.

¤¥®¤ Gradient

Forest x Belgian
ombre (Outside AC Belgian) X ¤¥®¤ Black Sand
gg E? A? chch nn dd P? rr Sty? zz Te? To? lplp
Brighter and more intense pangare expression than her sister with more noticeable sooty. Black stockings are sadly taller. This mare has literally the smallest tobiano star I have ever seen. I thought it was dust on the monitor at first.
Breeder's report is much more promising than her sister's.
Conformation is fairly good. Needs improvement in the same areas as her sister - flatter hips, shallower jowl, lower point of shoulder.
Will be trained and score-tested at some point.
Will be retained.

Not bred directly for the program but as an experiment to see if I could achieve any tobiano expression from a foal by an AC Prze. Obviously this filly has none.
This filly does not appear to be an awful fit for the program. She has decent pangare expression and minimal black on her legs. Her conformation also isn't awful, and she has flatter hips than a lot of my stock. Her breeder's report leaves a bit to be desired but is not unexpected for an AC offspring.

Upcoming Foals

Stud 1 x Mare 2
Przewalski x Turkmene
Will be bay dun with a single recessive red gene.
The dam will hopefully throw a more coppery color over the sire's dark red.
Rehomed.

Stud 3 x Mare 3
52% Forest Horse
Should be bay or brown dun.
Test breeding to see if the mare has as much pangare to pass on as hoped.

Stud 4 x Mare 4
Przewalski x Shetland
Will be bay dun with a single recessive red gene.
Hoping for a loud pangare colt to cross to mare 3 or the same as a filly to cross to stud 3.

Lovely color on this mare. Silver bay dun as base with high pangare expression. Her breeder's report leaves much to be desired. She's being sold after giving us a nice foal to continue her line.

Added a new AC stud and mare, updated list of upcoming foals.

Lovely new F1 born and aged to show wonderful color. Stats are disappointing but should be fairly malleable.

Likeit has this horse that I sold them a while back. Pretty sure he's just heavy pangare on bay, without other dilutes. Maybe they could let you stud to him? I don't have any horses from that project anymore, but there are a few I've sold to different people.
In the event you're not interested in him, at least here's proof that you can get a "golden color" without cream or dun. Good luck!

He's very nice! I'll keep them in mind but for now I think I'm going to keep mostly to AC horses or horses from my other projects. (This is Silverine on a different side. ) I like the challenge of building up from the bottom but having proof that what I'm going for is possible is always nice! And I'll know somebody out there has something close to what I want if I get frustrated.
