Here at Slush Creek Walkers we
have spent the last 20 years carefully
choosing these mares and only the very
best get to be broodmares… There are
several things we consider when deciding
if a mare will get to breed.
|
|
First is
her gait, we want it to be
natural, smooth and comfortable.
We don’t believe in taking a
poorly gaited mare and breeding
her to a good stallion to
improve her gait. That kind of
breeding is a crap shoot, you
may or may not end up with what
you want. Instead we want to
take a natural, nicely gaited
mare to a natural, nicely gaited
stallion, then, to our way of
thinking your chances for a
nicely gaited foal are much
better. If you breed the best to
the best it is hard to go wrong.
|
|
|
We also
look at her disposition: we want
her to be quiet, sane, smart… a
people horse. Again, if you
breed an ill-tempered mare even
to the best tempered stallion,
it is a crap-shoot. Will the
foal take after the mare or the
sire?
|
|
|
We also study their conformation, which, in some ways goes back to gait. We don’t want the neck to be too long or too short, or the hocks to be sickle-shaped or posted,
or the shoulder too steep. All
of these things lend to getting
that nice, natural gait we are
looking for. We also like good
bone and good muscle so that is
one of the things we look for
when considering conformation.
|
|
There are many considerations when choosing which mare to breed; the foals are going to represent your breeding program and we only want the best representation.
These horses are ranch/range
raised. They are exposed to all forms of wildlife,
and the elements from the time they are born. They
have not been raised in a barn or stall. These
horses live IN the great outdoors! We feel the mares listed on this page are going to do that for us, so
three cheers for the mares that made the cut!!
