I have an 18mo old filly who is a 50/50 Irish Draught/TB cross. I know next to nothing about TB bloodlines, but I’m trying to find out two things:

1.) how tall my filly may get based on her pedigree (I have the heights of her sire and dam, but haven’t had any success in tracking down that information for the next two generations back on her dam’s side).

2.) this one is more sensitive, so I’m just going to ask and see what happens. My filly was diagnosed as having club feet in both front legs at 13 mos. She had check ligament surgery and is doing well, but unless I can substantiate that there aren’t any club feet in her pedigree going back at least three generations, I won’t be able to have her inspected so that her future offspring will be eligible for registration. Since I believe this condition was caused by environmental factors rather than a genetic predisposition, I’d like to try to document that if at all possible.

The TB side is proving to be the hard one to research, but here’s what I do know:

My filly’s pedigree:

I had a chance to inspect my filly’s dam (My Silver Jag), and have photos that demonstrate that she doesn’t have club feet. Jag was bred at Anderson Farms in the St. Thomas, Ontario area. Although Google searches indicate that Anderson Farms remains active in breeding TBs, I couldn't turn up any contact information. Country Light last stood at Blooming Hills Farm in Clements, CA and died in 2002 and Trudie Tudor was a Canadian stakes winner.

Any information would be much appreciated!

Hi,

Don't know if this will help but Anderson Farms is often listed as

"Anderson Farms (Ontario) Inc"


In recent times many of their runners are listed as having been bred by

"Anderson Farms (Ontario) Inc. and Rod Ferguson"

Perhaps you could search for Rod Ferguson and find contact info for Anderson Farms.
