Tussock - Belgians and more

Post by tussock »

Image
Tussock stables are mainlyfocusing on Belgians with a side project of shetlands, maintain breeding of fjords and a few other breeds on the side. The main focus has been to get very specific colors but now when that starting to get to where I want to breeding for reducing reds in the breeding raports and If I'm lucky replacing them with greens. The stables name originates from the place where I used to live, Tuvorna. Which is swedish for 'Tussock'. I have been using the same name on the dog sim game "Dogdayzz" for a few years now, (I'm #5848 there - focusing on scottish terriers, greenland dogs and german shepherds. You can also find me on furry-paws as #1095521).

My Belgians are breed to be gray, I know it's not much of a crazy and exciting color but no one had made any greying Belgians that I knew of when I began breeding for it. My first two stallions that started to produce pure belgians are Rembrandt & Michelangelo, both are born bay Part Belgian x Arabian but has greyed out, both are 4*Belgians and have several pure Belgian offspring. I have yet to breed a 4*Belgian colt that has enheritated the grey gene.

Week 44: I've breed my first Belgian colt in grey, unfortunately he's just 1*, borderline 4*. I've started to weed out the Part Belgian x Arabian mixes by keeping fillys from the mares and retiring their mothers. Rembrandt & Michelangelo has also been retired due to the two new Belgian stallions I have in grey. And more seems to come.

I have some Belgian (and Belgian x Galloway) stock that I'm looking to get rid of, if you need new blood in differing colours: http://www.horseworldonline.net/farm/pasture/6683

I believe they're all listed for $1k each, but I'm willing to get rid of them to a dedicated Belgian breeder for much less than that. If you see any you like, let me know! If not, that's okay, too - good luck with your breeding program!
