ARENOSA MARES

The

We know that the mares are the bricks of our breeding program. We breed with the eye of many successful breeders .... BREED THE BEST AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. This is easier said than done.

To maintain our preservation breeding goals, we keep the blood in mind and do our best to maintain select groups that have concentrated blood. In this way, we know that we will not be backed into a corner years down the road.... These select groups provide the diversity needed to breed on. The key to maintaining the diversity is by keeping these sub groups separate so they can then be crossed back on each other to provide genetic diversity. Even though they are from the same seed stock, they can be successfully bred to each sub-groups for future generations to come.  

​

We only keep stallions from strong mare families. The stallions that we keep represent each of the sub-groups from the mare lines. This is true in all of our other breeding groups as well. 

​

When setting up our breeding groups each year, we look to concentrate the blood of foundation animals where possible. For example, Our groups this year include an " OLD WORLD/OLD LINES" group- These horses are as close to the original horses we brought back from Audrey's.  These groups would include a concentrated KEWPIE'S TOPPER OF ARENOSA group, a concentrated KEWPIE'S DOLL DIABLO group and a concentrated QUEEN ANN'S JET group.

​

We do this with our SETH THOMAS (ST) group as well. These horses are a blend of ARENOSA and SETH THOMAS bloodlines. We refer to these as ARENOSA RELATED as well. We do not breed for color, but we know that there is power in color. We find that phenotype and genotype go hand in hand.

​

All of our breedings are done with great care and consideration to produce the best possible foals to carry on with.
