Lil Champagne Tease

NEWSFLASH!  Studley has a date with a lab in mid March 2008.  He will be trained to collect and his semen will be tested with 4 different extenders to determine the best one.  He will also be tested and results posted here.  Once we have have the tests completed, we will be offering shipped semen this spring.  We have had increasing interest in him from out of state and we'll do our best to meet those needs.

Thanks to Michal at Pet DNA of AZ for getting Studley's color test results completed so quickly.  He does not have a cream gene and he is homozygous black with one agouti.  I highly recommend Michal's lab for color/DNA testing.   Studley's registration with ICHR has been completed now and he will be registered with the International Champagne Horse registry.  His appaloosa pattern is a bonus :)

Studley has an excellent temperament to pass on

He's broke to ride and will be broke to drive as well later

In the above photo, Studley is still pretty wet from his bath.  This shows off his appaloosa markings nicely.  He's much lighter color when totally dry.

He's such a handsome little guy!

In order to be able to breed my first generation ponies back to full registered MFT horses, I felt I needed to reduce these first generation foals size as much as possible. 

Studley's foals from registered MFT mares will be registered as MFT Ponies, those foals we keep back will be bred back again to registered MFT horses.  Our goal is a higher percentage of MFT in the pedigree and a pony in the 13 hand range with plenty of natural gait and that unmistakable temperament and trainability that the MFT is known for.

Please visit the MFTPR website and review the rules before purchasing any MFT Pony.  This is a new registry and we feel it's important for our buyers to be well informed.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask but I would encourage anyone to do their homework when choosing any pony or horse.

Studley is Amber Champagne........................

That is Bay color with the Champagne dilution gene

Mares bred to Studley for 2008 are Fancy, Lady and Sheena.  Summer is in foal to Bo for a 2008 mule foal then will be bred to Studley too.
These first generation MFT ponies will be the foundation and the beginning for our breeding plan.  If you own a registered MFT mare or stallion that is under 14 hands and would be interested in a breeding lease, please contact me.  In addition to the MFT Ponies, Studley will be bred to HF Macarena, a registered Straight Egyptian Arabian mare that is on the Al Khamsa Roster and the Pyramid Society list. 
Update (August 2007): We have our first pony foals by Studley, Woo Hoo! Ah, they are terrific!  See Harmonee's Pure Perfection and Sheena's pages for photo's and information.

Lil Champagne Tease

Studley is an Amber Champagne with  Appaloosa spots on his rump.  He is lighter in color than some Amber Champagne's but it may be due to the Appaloosa gene.  He will not produce any sorrel/chestnut colored ponies because he is homozygous for black.  When bred to a simple base colored mare, his foals may be black or bay.  If he also gives his champagne gene to the foal it may be amber champagne or classic champagne and in addition may or may not have appaloosa spots.   If a mare is cream (palomino, buckskin or smoky black) there is a 50% chance for that in addition to the other colors listed, the same goes for any other color modifier's such as paint patterns, grey, dun, roan etc.  
 
He is from registered Miniature Horse's but was oversized and therefore not registered in the miniature registries. 

His foals that are Champagne can be registered with ICHR.  Any foal by Studley and a Registered MFT mare will be eligible for registration in the new MFTPR (Missouri Foxtrotter Pony Registry).  Please go to the MFTHBA offical website or email me with questions.  A link is provided here for your convenience.
