In Iceland there are no "elimination" from breeding you are allowed to use what every stallion you want evaluated or not and still get a offspring you can registrated . It´s upp to the mare owner to choose it´s breeding. In sweden on the other hand you if you use an unevulated stallion the offspring get´s in the B-book and it coast plenty more money. As alway´s it´s up to the mare owner´s what offspring´s do he/she want to raise, what do they want their breeding name to stand for? As I´m a breeder I look to all aspects also color in that way that Fanndis my cremello/perlino mare for an example I try to breed to chesnut or Bay stallions (last year thou it was a blackpinto going grey stallion) Muska my roan mare will not be breed to a grey stallion ......... and yes I breed 1 mare to a "color" stallion a silver dapple Glymur fra Innri-skeljabrekka a horse with foremost great mind ,gives great gaited offspring that he was the one of the highest 5 yo for a few years ago also count a lot and he is not very related to the breeding pool today. the bad thing with him is he´s sinew´s I admit that ......... I think he is one of the better options in many way´s I will use him again this summer and in 2009 he will hopefully be here ......... Regards Malin www.kolugil.tk
