Amadei-Geli sport horse at stud

5/31/2019

 
In April 2019 I visited national event rider Julia Schmid in Germany who owns this gorgeous stallion Amadei-Geli bred in Russia. Julia rode him for us to see, jumped him, and then let us ride him! And that is how sweet this 5 year old stallion is, who only that same day had to cover a mare in the morning!
Amadei is perfect in every way, has a superb pedigree, and is undergoing to grueling German testing to be an approved sport horse stallion.
His frozen semen is now available in the US.
One dose, 5 straws $1050
Shipping $420

Breeding on an acre = leg disfunction

1/7/2019

 
so a breeder has 5 acres and therefore they breed. And before you know it there are 15 horses, the house, the car park, the yard for the kid to play, the barn, the junk pile, the burn pile...and the horses are locked in little pens and stand around all day waiting for the next meal.
Foals need to run. And not just a little hop in a circle, they need to get up to speed, develop lungs, and bone and muscle.
Perhaps it is lack of movement in earlier breeding days that leeds to so many leg malformations.
Because today, in farms where foals do run and play, there is far less of a development problem than places where they grow up in small pens. Then again, they may be destined for desk jobs at a large computer facility and in that case they will be well versed in sitting still.
An athlete, like mother nature intended, starts from day one.

Inbreeding in a small gene pool, the Akhal-Teke

1/7/2019

 
In a very simple way, every time you inbreed (line breed) your off spring has less genetic diversity.  No matter what top notch breeder you are, what country you live in, the repudiation you have, it is the same for everyone, you may get "a shaper image" and you may have multiplied on an undesirable trait.
Personally I love to jump, so a good leg and hoof conformation is a must. More and more I see faults in even reputable breeding farms even with the knowledge we have today of better breeding practices.
For example the stallion Akbar 672, born in 1957
Picture
This stallion from ARAB line has contracted toes in all 4 feet. He stood at stud from 1961 to 1978 and has over 32 offspring.
Can you imagine if 5 generations later you would have Mister Akbar 10 times in your pedigree...
Looking at the early Akhal-Teke horses, horsemanship was poor, nutrition and a farrier at it's worst.
So today, WE must educate ourselves and do a better job at preserving this beloved breed!
