Breeding for color..

Posts : 6 Join date : 2010-10-18

Hey Everyone,

I have just started breeding Lipizzaners and having some trouble getting anything but white/dark bay/black colors- despite the amazing stallion donations from my riding pals. What gives? Is there any formula us newbs can use to get some color? It seemed so easy with paints/QH, I had spots/buckskins/paints all over the place, lol!

Thanks!!

-Michelle

Selle Francais & Lipizzans seem to be a bit more difficult to get color on..

as frustrating as it sounds just keep breeding Wink

If you are interested I DO have a stud who seems to throw color on every foal (including a few SF mares)

remember when breeding for color and or patterns....the foal will always be the mothers body type Smile

That seriously helped me a lot when I was starting off

you can cross-breed to other breeds if you want their colors or patterns. then you take a filly from the cross-breed and breed it back to a purbred stallion and you will once again have a purebred lipp.

this is cool because it lets us take advantages of everyone's studs instead of just those who breed lip. i have gotten a pretty white lipp mare that has very faint isabella spots using a crossbreed from a lip that is grey with isabella spots.

dunno if that's any help, but that's what i do.
