Re: How did we get painted Thoroughbreds?
The only way that frame overo is going to become widespread among Thoroughbreds is the same way that other once "unfashionable" colors or markings became common in the Thoroughbred gene pool: a successful race horse carrying the gene has to go on to become a dominant race sire. The Tetrarc...

Re: Mr. Prospector and Northern Dancer
Mr. Prospector and Northern Dancer dominate the classics far more than Secretariat or Buckpasser. As far as elite mares Almahmoud , Somethingroyal, Rough Shod II, and La Troienne are in a lot of pedigrees. Agreed. One could argue that from the quality of the mares both Secretariat and Buckpasser go...

This isn't a Thoroughbred, but this horse is incredibly inbred, not just up close but even the one line that might have brought in "outcross" blood is inbred! The fifth dam, Plaudits Babe, is a full sister to the Maddon's Bright Eyes, the dam of Bright Bar, the sire of Shutter Shy. Johnny Boone is a...

Yesterday's winner of the $1 million Rainbow Futurity at Ruidoso: MS FIRST PRIZE ROSE (QH): http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/ms+first+prize+rose She's actually got even more inbreeding as you get further back. Most of her lines go back to Three Bars TB, Top Deck TB, and Leo. 21 of her 32 fifth gener...

Buckpasser and Secretariat both stood at Claiborne where they received the finest books of mares known to mankind. Both of them were known as "filly sires" and it should come as no surprise that their daughters, as broodmares, are also top-class producers. If DR. FAGER had received the equivalent q...

Re: Then how come we do not find
Pan Zareta: Then how come we do not find any other great stallions in the X passing position of the top 20 broodmare sires with the frequency of Buckpasser (close up in pedigrees) over the last 5 years? Mr. Prospector, Northern Dancer, Affirmed, Seattle Slew, and a great many others are not frequen...

Kleberg used the same inbreeding strategies with ALL his horses. He also developed the Santa Gertrudes cattle using them.

....As for Jim T ... why is it that the "breeders" that try this kind of inbreeding seem to almost inevitably inbreed to horses that probably shouldn't have been left stallions to begin with? :roll: Well it WAS in Texas in 1927 :lol: There may not have been a lot of options.

HTA inherited his inbreeding from 6 different sire lines. No he didn't. Genetically, there are only two sire lines in the modern TB, Whalebone (1807) and non-Whalebone. They differ only at a single letter in the genetic code on the male-specific portion of the Y chromosome. Females don't have that....

There are horses in some small part of South America,in Brazil or Argentina I think, that have white spots that make them look almost like Appaloosas but they come from solid parents and don't reproduce the color, so scientists believe that the spots come from environmental factors. I think we disc...
