Feathered Friesians

Until registries are in place the Breeding Communities forum will be for players to work together towards creating or improving their favourite breeds.
Forum rules
Each breed may have only one topic. The first post in the topic is to be informative. It should help explain the breed, and breeding goals; advice on how to select mares and stallions; and links to ideal Stallions available for breeding.
Keeping a directory of breeders working on the same goal is also helpful.
All new threads must be approved.

Feathered Friesians

Post by Ms. Trouble Maker »

I have been working on Friesian with Feathers since Beta testing and still haven't been successful. Can anyone help out?? The most I get a small little tuffs of hair. :/ If anyone has a horse that can further my interest I'll pay $150,000

I've decided to work on Friesians too. I've only just started so I've got a lot of mixed breeds, but I've been crossing them to my Half Percheron stallion who has a lot of feathering so hopefully I'll make some progress.

Sweet!! I did a Belgian cross....but maybe some breeds have a better "Friesian" build than the Belgian...so none of my crosses are coming out as pure Friesian...the all come out as parts Friesians :/ lol

I started to do Friesians on the way to the Gypsy Cobs, specifically with feather, but got some Shires and went on from them, and then also got distracted with trying to breed Comtois! But I found I could breed feather into most breeds so Friesians shouldn't be hard. I might give it another go.
Also breed your part Friesians together, if they are part something else make sire both sire and dame have the other part as a different breed. So Part Friesian x Belgian bred to a Part Friesian x Percheron say, has a good chance of coming out pure Friesian if neither of the other breeds dominate. A good way to breed in feather

I have a half Friesian mare with light feather, if you have a mixed or part Friesian stallion with feather I'd love to breed to him. But a part friesian x belgian won't work as my foal would be that as well. Or a full Friesian with a feathered parent would work of course!
