So from no rugs to winterrugs in one day, two days ago temps dropped to 4 degrees so I was in stables 23.00 to put their rugs on, Start has already had his first bodyshave so he felt abit naked in the windy night. Tucked in their blankets we all slept well. Now we are back with thin autumn rugs, as warm sun was out they had shampoo showers after work.

Start is doing serious work, we learned from our Grand Prix that we have to work on that part as we had a register of bucking, levadas and kicking added to the program, hmm.. Being the strict teacher now I am focusing on projecting his hot temperament into controlled power and energy instead of fire and explosiveness. From his fire he gets his spectacular movements so I am not trying to take it out of him nor change him, just organize it creatively. I always warm him up in back first in trot and canter. Then I choose trot or canter excercises as it is too much to do all excercises of both on his level. But Start chooses (the way I feel him for the day) and today we did both trot and canter. It is very easy for him to do tempis but with his temperament he sometimes skips off adding a one when we are doing the threes and twos. So today I trained the 3s and 2s on circle and then did the ones. It was very good as tempis on a circle is great way to get the horse straight and in between aids. So after that the tempi ones was automatic, I just had to set him off and he finished the 15 great. If he makes a mistake I don't punish, I just make him repeat it. If he is naughty I tell him off by my voice. When he has done all excercises well or one especially well I stop. So after the tempis ones today I stopped and he got his dinner.

Naughty but happy Start in GP

Still a clean flying change after rodeo diagonal :)

Passage and trotwork was better..

Viggo's day

Kommentera

Av L Viktoria M Sandberg - 11 oktober 2012 21:52

Please everyone I cannot take your calls as I have lost my voice, please communicate on email or messages, thanks! Today was Viggo's first day at the stables, he has run out 8 dogs, two PRE fillies and been chasing mummy on top of two cantering horses so finally he is tired enough to sleep tight on his puff.. Action Viggo is a fast guy with never ending energy!

Halagador has actually passed a vetcheck yesterday, spotless. That guy has never had a scratch, not even one swollen leg once. Of course it feels good knowing the health of the horse you are selling but it is up to a professional veterinarian to give the guarantees of the health status. We would never make a sale if the client did not have the horse vetted prior to purchase. We can assist and suggest but it is up to the client to find out what they are buying in the way they feel comfortable; What kind vetcheck, how they want it done (if any special xrays or clinical exam) and by whom they want it made.

Tomorrow is friday again and I will have visitors in the morning so goodnight!

Going through the typical autumn cold now so after some Espidifen I am having a indoor day with paperwork, computer and cooking swedish mashed potatoes, 'pannbiffar' (like meatballs but flat) with lingonberries. The Halagador client followed my recommendation and decided to buy the young bay stallion born 2009.
Congratulations M to this very beautiful and talented PRE!

So now it is Halagador-client Nr 3:s turn and I have sent most of the information. Now planning alittle as november will be a month with visits by clients, family, friends and then SICAB also has to fit it the shedule, something to look forward to!

Have a great day people!

Last night new lady 'Fanta' gave birth to her first beautiful little black guy with a star and two white socks. Mummy Jessica is thrilled as she had black boy on top of her 1 wishlist, congratulations! Also to you Jacqueline!
So in the female stable we now have 3 little babies born within a month, one chestnut warmblood guy, a bay PRE/PSL also a boy and this little PRE. And what a great weather to be born into, we have sunny blue skies in Madrid and temperatures of 26 degrees. Now everyone has a baby - except me and I have to wait until March! Well, as long everything goes well I shall wait with patience and anticipation.

So today I had a morning with the girls that are enjoying the sunshine in the day and fluffy beds in the night. Start had his first bodyshave looking good. Halagador and Donoso got playday in paddock and had a hairwash after.

Wish you all a great weekend!

Hello beautiful prince black!

What do I do with all these legs? Cutest ears!

Diluted color genes & registration in PRE studbook

Kommentera (2)

Av L Viktoria M Sandberg - 2 oktober 2012 23:05

This weeek I finally had my appointment with the reumatology specialist in Madrid, one of the most respected professionals in his field, a very respected Dr. And, it seems I got the the right man. It was great to hear him start with the questions previous doctors has ended with. He said not to worry, and that we will work it out! So in spring I start to take a long series of special refined tests and in May 2013 I will get the verdict.. 10 years with fibromyalgia symptoms but I am hopeful!

I came home to do paperwork, no time for my horses that day as the work had to be done.

Happy boys and girls are now vaccinated, dewormed and with new shiny and manicured feet. Yesterday I bought vitamin and mineral supplements for the girls which they seem to like.

I have been asked questions about diluted colour genes so here's a little on this theme;

Cr - Is a dominant gene and Cr is the code of one dilution gene (heterozygous), in coatcolours such as buckskin, palomino or smoky black. If we cross a stallion with one dilution gene to a mare there is a possibility the offspring will inherit the Cr gene, the gene can be transmitted or not transmitted. This gene is mostly but not always clearly manifested in the coat colours.
In most cases a buckskin foal is registered bay in LG (PRE studbook) until corrected at APTO registration when genetype is tested through the LG ANCCE laboratory. Novedosa on the other hand is registered as a grey in the studbook, even though she is genetested buckskin without grey gene (gg). When she will be APTO registered her colour can be corrected by the ANCCE delegate. As many others she has not had her phenotype tested via the studbook lab as this test has to be ordered and paid for, and as we did not use the LG lab for her genetest she is still registered grey in the LGstudbook.

Novedosa (Ee AA Ccr gg) buckskin

Reina Vikinga, buckskin (Ee Aa CCr) RV also has the dungene (D) which is recognized by a dorsal stripe and/or primitive markings.

Palomino PRE colt

Smoky black PRE

Gg - The grey gene is dominant and not a dilution gene as you probably know. But a grey PRE can have one dilution gene without it being visible in the coat. When the genes contain the grey allele it is coded (Gg). If no grey gene exists its genetic code is (gg). As the grey gene is dominant our filly Laia was registered grey as her phenotype contained one grey gene (Gg) even though she had a coat colour of a perlino and two dilution genes (CrCr). A horse with this disposition will always bring down the grey gene, it might be visible or not, in the offspring. The foal can be born coloured and sometimes they turn grey later on like this mare below.

Buckskin (one Cr) registered mare with grey coat

Laia (EE AA CrCr Gg), registered grey

CrCr - Two dominant dilution genes (homozygous) produces the coat colours; cremello, perlino or smoky cream. After having had Picara's fenotype registered with LG her genetic colour is proven perlino (perla). She has not had her prl gene tested. The foals with these diluted colours are normally registered chestnut until their fenotype is tested. This can seem confusing and incorrect when we are looking up the identification of a PRE in the studbook. When the fenotype test is made by LG the genetic coat colour will be represented under Genetic Coat (Capa Genética).

Picara (EE Aa CrCr gg) perlino

Picara's dad Revoltoso, perlino

A perlino has a light apricot mother- of -pearl shiny coat. The eyes can be blue or green and the skin is pink. At the moment I have no example to show of neither a smoky cream or cremello. The cremello has the same pale skin colour as a perlino but is more white and without the pearl gloss. To differentiate these colours a genetest is necessary. A cremello has an ee in their genecode as they origin is from the chestnut gene (or each parent need to have at least one chestnut gene e each). Whilst a perlino have the allele EE or Ee and can come out of isabelo, perlino and buckskin.

PrlPrl Also called pearl gene, is a recessive gene and that can only be seen in the coatcolour in a double copy. This gene is not to be confused with the totally different gene of a perlino that is a dominant double dilute (CrCr). Isabelo is the most unusual colour existing in the PRE breed. This colour gene stems from the iberian breeds, PRE and PSL. A horse with two sets of Prl (PrlPrl) is called isabelo and will have hazelnut coloured eyes and a golden coat.
Isabelo PRE stallion

At times a isabelo is incorrectly named and confused with champange and even though there is a resemblance in coat colour, the champange is a totally different colour gene (Ch). The genecode to the offspring of Picara (CrCr) and isabelo stud (PrlPrl) will be a pseudo-double-dilute, a pseudo perlino/isabelo one copy, and the offspring will most likely have green or blue eyes. The tone of the coat colour remains to be seen.. :)

After a rainy friday we got sun back and today has been a glorious autumn day, warm and slightly humid from the fallen rain, nice.

First client we left thursday with a very exciting candidate, one of my absolute favourites for sale. It's a PRE stallion that has been competing morfoshows since he was 1 year old and has won several medals. He has a very good placement from SICAB also. Now he's showed his capacity also for dressage competing the FEI national dressage tests for 5 year olds with results over 69%. Is a Qualified Reproductor awell. He has the same grandmother as famous Fuego, I saw Fuego in the beginning of his training and I dare to say this one has even better natural movements. Very interesting talented horse and important PRE dressage representative. Also with the quality we need in for PRE breeding. Second client tour also finsished with two candidates, Halagador being one of the two. Professionally I think the other horse is the more suitable option for this client, but that is not my decition to make and next week we will know the chosen one..

Had a playday with the sisters. Novedosa looks like a 'skinhead' in her new haircut, she's the athlete full of energy and very confident. Picara is a queen, very sensitive and playful.

Happy to be with my girls!

Hasta pronto!

Stallion sired by Halagador

Kommentera

Av L Viktoria M Sandberg - 28 september 2012 11:40

Finally rain is pouring down in Madrid and today horses stay in their fluffy strawbeds. We have had intensive days viewing horses and many kilometres so today will be day of catching up with everything. I have met Halagador's son, a tall elegant 3 year old grey stallion. He looks very much like Halagador in his expression, correct conformation and classy shorthaired velvet coat. We measured him 166 cm. His movements are typical Cárdenas, limited power in hindlegs and not athletic but soft, balanced and nicely coordinated front and back. The trot is not as straight as his father's, campanea. Beautiful horse, same laid back personality as Hagge! For sale!
