Mares' Open Years Updated: 03-02-08
New Models and/or Photos Added/Removed: 03-02-08
IMPORTANT NOTE:
I'm bringing my sire/dam list back online BY INVITATION ONLY.
One problem and it's gone for good; I don't mean to be a "witch",
but I've had so many hassles with this that I have little to no patience for trouble with it.
HELP NEEDED!
Any models with "pending" after their name are looking for parents and
are noted on the left by the arrow after the breed;
I'd appreciate any help either with tracking down good real horses or sire/dam lists
esp. for the unusual or uncommon breeds such as Tiger Horse and Criollo.
(Note that the names are temporary unless they've NAN-qualified.)
Thanks!
RULES
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Any incorrectly submitted breedings will be listed on this page
but I may not contact the owner other than by this method.
SENDING THE BREEDING
All breedings must be submitted using my email Breeding Request Form with all fields correctly filled out. There are no exceptions to this rule. If unsure whether or not a breeding might work, you are welcome to email me with the possible parents/foal information and ask before using the form.
Do not send more than ONE (1) breeding at a time. Please don't request more until this one is done. For re-requests of a previously done breeding, I'll accept up to 5 at a time.
It is very important that you use the same punctuation and information that is on the form. If you change any information or fill it out incorrectly, I will delete the request without notice.
Please make sure that you can download one of the files listed in the right-hand frame of this page before requesting. If you do not specify which one you would like, I will do the certificate in Adobe Acrobat format.
All foals must be assigned a birth year that is within the sire’s foal crop years and one of the dam’s open years. Fixed age or non-aging breedings are allowed. However, you must send your request to me in year format (i.e. 1984, not 20 years old) as I will be using the dam's open year in my record.
If using one of my mares, you must send three year choices since my list may not be fully updated and then I can just go to your next choice. If you can only use one open year for one of my mares and no other will do, please write and ask in advance and I will reserve that year for you. DO NOT just send the request saying "I can only use that year". All requests like this will be refused.
You must send your real, full name to request a breeding or it will be refused without notice.
I do accept BSO (pedigree-only, no model body) breedings. However, please only breed BSO horses on a limited bases; I won't accept more than three of them in a row.
All web breedings are free; I no longer do snail-mail breedings.

COLOR GENETICS
All homozygous models can only produce a foal of that color, and are marked as such. All others are to be considered heterozygous.
The easiest rule of equine color genetics is to make one parent the same color/pattern as the foal. Other notes on non-homozygotes: Two chestnuts will always produce a chestnut, and two grey parents will usually produce a grey and although that is not an absolute rule, I usually follow it without exception as the percentage is low of two grays producing another color. Most grays produced from two grays are homozygous.
For pinto/Paints that are either frame (overo/sabino/splash) or tobiano, please use two horses of the same pattern or one solid parent. For toveros/Medicine Hats, you can use one of each pattern (tobiano x frame overo/sabino/splash) or a tovero x solid or tovero x tovero. (NOTE: Two frame overos do run the risk of producing a lethal white foal, but since these are models I don’t think it’ll be a problem!)
Parti-colored parents (pinto, Appaloosa) may have solid colored offspring. Any double dilute (cremello, perlino) can only produce a dilute (buckskin, palomino) foal when bred to a non-dilute. Multiple dilutes are allowed with the right parents, i.e. palomino roan x dun = dunalino roan, and so forth.
As far as is known, any Appaloosa pattern can produce any other pattern, i.e. a leopard can produce a varnish roan or a spotted blanket can produce a leopard. Few-spot leopards and snowcaps from two Appaloosa-colored parents are usually homozygous.
Here is a good site that shows you what colors can be produced from different crosses.
Janet Piercy's excellent site on pinto patterns.
Sharon Batteate’s also excellent site on unusual colors.
OTHER GENERAL NOTES
For more information on model pedigree assignment, please check out the IPABRA website.
All CM models are by WMHS unless otherwise noted.
All parents are models unless marked <r>--real--to the best of my knowledge and all pedigrees have been researched as much as possible. If you find a mistake in a real horse pedigree, please email me.
Please inquire first for breedings using any of my mares for other-breed crosses, such as purebred Arabs or TBs for Anglo-Arab, Mule, Appaloosa, etc. I don't allow certain mares to be bred to stallions of other breeds, so it's best to write and ask first.
I will not allow obscene/dirty words or anything similar as names for offspring; don’t even bother to request this type of name. The prefix "SLM" is to be used only for models painted by Suzanne Feld, not as a name. I will refuse breedings for horses that have the names of real, fictional, or famous model horses, such as "Strapless", "Smarty Jones", "Parr's Dream Doll", "Gypsy Karma", etc.
I follow real breed registry rules and facts—i.e. adult chestnut Friesians may not be PA'd as purebreds, there are no grey or true dark-headed roan Clydesdales, and so forth.
Most of my stallions are shown as geldings; I consider these to have been gelded "recently" but to have had previous foal crops.
I have some foal bodies with adult IDs which are considered to be "frozen in time"; most are real-time WMHS-bred foals that were "born" the year I got the model but will always continue to show as foals even though they age normally.
All horses that I designate as "brown" are black-bays, not dark liver chestnuts.
"SimHS" or "PP" stands for "Simulated Horse Show/Paper Pony Showing", which is done without model bodies similar to realistic racing. All simulated racing records are from IMRA or private racetracks, not from the Express.
An important note on MODEL WARMBLOODS
Apparently the International Pinto Sporthorse Registry no longer exists. I sent them two snail-mail letters w/SASE asking for more information with no reply. I have changed the breed assignment of all former WMHS "Pinto Sporthorses" to something more realistic, mostly American Warmbloods or American Sport Horses, and will no longer allow 'Pinto Sporthorses' to be bred from my models. The foals previously PA'd as such may keep that breed designation, but if it is changed I would appreciate knowing so I can change my records.

PLEASE NOTE: This web page is part of a model horse hobby web site. Any WMHS/Wildwing Model Horse Stables-owned "horses" referred to in these pages are not real; they are model horses or paper identities only. Any real horses discussed in these pages are listed for pedigree research purposes only and are denoted with a <r> after their names.
