Picking a stallion for your mare

There are many ways to pick a stallion for your mare. You can pick the stallion of your dreams, the guy next door or use a calculated way to pick a stallion for your mare.

I have put together a page on my web page that goes through how to use your mares linear score sheet and the stallions offspring reports to pick the best match for your mare. There is an even easier way. I can do the homework for you and give you several possibilities of stallions to mate your mare with so you can have a shot at the baby of your dreams. Either way check out the page on matching your mare to an FPS stallion.

There is a new way to get information on your Friesian mare and Approved Stallion combination. In the KFPS members log in page where you look up the inbreeding coefficient they give you the 5 scores that they expect your offspring to get at the keuring. Frame, Race Type, Legs, Walk and Trot. There are no guarantees in breeding but this program takes what your mare got and combines it with what the stallion is producing. We have not had a 3 year old that has given the exact scores that the system has produced for them, but it will give you another educated guess as to what you might expect.

How to read the stallion offspring reports

Have you seen the notices that the new FPS/FHANA stallion reports are printed yearly? The information is online by the end of the year, and a combined copy usually follows early the following year.  Ok but what does that really mean to you as a Friesian mare owner. It means that the scores from last years Keurings are counted up, calculated, and put out in an easy to read chart. Ok so it’s not easy to read if you have never read one before but one you get familiar with them you'll get a lot of information at one quick glance. So I’ve put together a page on my web page that shows you section by section how to read the stallion offspring reports from the FPS/FHANA. Soon you will be glancing at these charts knowing what they say. And when you want information about a stallion you will know if this is the chart you should be looking at.

Here is the link to the explanation page.
