Coming out of lurkdom... When Kate was over in the states I asked her a question, which she suggested I put to the list for discussion. If it's a ridiculous...
Marcia, Hi. I cant resist responding to this one, although I am eminently unqualified......I dont think the question is silly. As a partbred breeder (of...
Hi, Jo! The problem is that some of us want to breed up our partbred mares in hopes of eventually attaining the GR, but can't seem to get any guidance on this...
Hi Marcia Thanks for putting your question to the group Far from being a naive question I find it interestingI felt it worth y of more general discussion as...
Hi Stephen, I think the general message from the article in the Cleveland Bay Stud Book still holds, that is that the small nature of the population makes it...
Kate, you mentioned "[w]ith a better than 7/8th PBCB and a partbred CB stallion it is therefore possible to breed grading register mares directly from partbred...
Sorry I can't resist replying to this. I can think of very few "benefits" of deliberate inbreeding of animals anywhere in the world. Plant breeders use...
Hi Milinda Under the current criteria you are correct, for inclusion in the grading register they must be sired by a lic CB. I was 'thinking out loud' as they...
Hi Grant It is interesting that this topic has arisen and its good that it is being aired. Much has been written on this topic from different standpoints over...

This really needs something from those more closely involved with SPARKS than me, but pending that......... My understanding of the SPARKS relationship...
Y'all forgive this -- for some reason, Yahoo Groups is bouncing messages to my regular inbox. I'm not sure what it will take to get everything straightened...
Hello Group: Good news, I just heard from Dr. Gus Cothran at Texas A&M University. As you know, he is heading the purebred Cleveland Bay DNA genotype project....
Gabrielle I am delighted that Dr Cothran is getting 'closer' to joining us. There are many quetions regarding his reasearch that I would like to put to him...
Hi Kate: Janet sent her sample for BP Charming about a month ago. I think Dr. Cothran would take all the samples he could get, but the CHBSNA offer to pay for...
Good morning/afternoon (depending on where you are...) Awhile back, I was following discussions on Ridecamp (the chat list for distance riders and "wannabes"...
Good question. A lot of what you hear about CB health and lameness is anedotal. It would be good to learn of statistics about illness and other problems. I...
Gabrielle when Aspen was tested as a three year old for roaring, the vet talked to me alot about what it was, etc, showing me the endoscope. I think the CBHS...
Hi Maria I didn't mean that surgically altered horses were allowed. I meant of the horses tested, how many were found to be surgically corrected? As far as I...
I have a question, I recently purchased a pure mare with a hind sock. It's pretty good size. Her sire is Braithwaite Senator and her dam Whippletree...
Maria, I can't answer your question from a scientific standpoint.? However, my opinion is a mismarked pure is better than no pure at all.? I think if she is...
Maria The longer I have been around the breed and especially purebreds, I wouldn't give a flip about the white. If you want to produce a purebred, find one...
While in England I saw several purebreds with considerably more white than would be usually allowed. This included the winning filly in the 3yo class having a...
