A Very Simple Off site Breeding Program
I received a request for information about the offsite breeding program which is designed to provide a safety net for the Corollas. It is not a substitute for a wild herd and it is not designed to produce a pool of horses to be released into the wild.
Anyone that gets a horse from me for use in the program must agree to a few conditions.
1. A stallion may not be gelded.
2. Mares over the course of their lifetime are to produce 4 foals from a stallion in the program. The owner will make every effort to place those foals with someone that agrees to maintain it in the breeding program.
3. Stallion owners agree that they will not charge a stud fee for any mare involved in the program.
4. All offspring from the program will be registered with the Horse of the Americas Registry, the American Indian Horse Registry and all stallions will be registered with the American Azteca and Foundation Breeding Stock Society.
5. I will be advised of the address of anyone that obtains a foal from the program so we can keep a network of breeders in touch with each other.
6. Breeders are strongly encouraged to show off their horses in every venue possible and to make a strong effort to obtain positive publicity for the strain and the individual horses.
That is it. There is only a moral obligation to to fulfill one's responsibilities under the program.
I currently have two weaning age fillies that I have produced that are available for placement immediately.
