Breeding your Racing Colours!

Coloured Thoroughbred Breeders Association

Coloured Thoroughbred Breeders Association represents the need to use coloured thoroughbreds as breed improvers in sports horses and racehorses.

 

Pictured is a painting believed  to be by Sawrey Gilpin,

 the King of Trumps belived to be King George's  111 coloured Tobiano racehorse  date in the region of 1789.

The Goal of Angrove Stud is to become the World's leading breeder of coloured tobiano racehorses going into mainstream horseracing.

 

We have chosen Tobiano as opposed to  frame Overo  because Tobiano is a dominant gene, LWO is a recessive expression.  it is impossible to breed a Homozygous Overo as it would be born Lethal White as this is a Homozygous mating, when both parents throw the LWO gene.

Angrove stud  have  discovered a formulation  for gaining more colour combinations in our breeding programme giving similar results as a Homozygous.

We also believe that the TB carries the splash white gene and it is responsible for the high white and offen seen white bottom heavy blaze,that many TBs carry, coupled with the sabino, and newly discovered Dominant White gene that is found with in the KIT gene where Tobiano is found, the Dominant white,Splash, & Sabino are helping to give us more white on the modern TB's  

Racing Throughbreds with colour

The importance of the Weatherbys NTR is that now you can register a coloured foal, and race in the future with your own coloured stock.

 Other Markets for the coloured Thoroughbred

There are warmbloods which need improving through breeding in thoroughbred bloodlines; the thoroughbred adds quality, stamina, elegance and gracefulness a good head a bold eye an expressive disposition.

Breeding with the coloured thoroughbred brings all these benefits, the Coloured Thoroughbred Breeders Association aims to create a prize fund for the first coloured thoroughbred who passes the winning post in first place against solid coloured racehorses (under rules) in the UK.

In Addition to the fact we would love to see coloured horses race there is a very good reason to back a coloured Racehorse, as the pattten is unique on every horse and no two coloured horses are the same it dose rule out the possibility of using a ringer this would be a bookies favourite.  And an enormous help to the Jockey Club!.

The History in Pictures of the coloured that has been hidden for centuries.

Paragon the Newcastle Barb

William Cavendish was created Earl of Newcastle in 1628, (1657-58). He acquired eight barbary horses in which he was reputed to take great delight. All of them appear in one or more paintings by Abraham van Diepenbeke including the Turk named Machomilia and the brightly coloured Barb named Paragon. the Duke had established a large stud and as Mr Prior points out the inventories of the royal stud at Tutbury indicate that several stallions were acquired from the Duke and that given the "well-known predilection of the Duke for them, it may be assumed that they were all three Barbs" [Royal Studs:55]. It is not known how much of this original stock was retained at Welbeck or other of the family seats or if this stock was the foundation for the new stud he established on his return to England. The Duke was well known for his preference for Barbs and Spanish horses and presumably focused on these types.

The Poulins (Colts)

The studs of the Duke of Newcastle.

Grosvenor (Chestnut) Arabian 
 This stallion, Chestnut .a good representative of Sabino markings in his tall white stockings, broad blaze and random white spots, covered mares from at least 1767 through 1790 at Richard, Earl of Grosvenor's stud in Cheshire. He sired the 1767 colt Euryalus and the 1768 colt David Gam, both chestnuts, and a number of fillies for Lord Grosvenor and also for Thomas Panton, including Fly (1770 from a Byerley Turk mare) and Mandane (1766, from Amelia (first Duchess)). Son Euryalus sired the 1780 filly Miss Holderness.

In addition, his mane and tail were flaxen.  Unfortunately, nothing was ever heard again about this case, for which reason we may deduct that Valençay vanished from the Breed without a trace.

THERE WAS something very different about this colt. He was pulled from his mother's womb in the broodmare barn at Monticule Farm in central Kentucky on the afternoon of April 10, 2005, deep bay in color but with a strange white dot at the top of his left front leg, near his rib cage. It was perhaps the size of a quarter, and none of the three people in the stall at the time of his birth had ever seen such a marking on a horse of his coloring. "What the devil is that?" said Monticule owner Gary Knapp. The horse's handlers, many of whom were Mexican, nicknamed him Punto Blanco, Spanish for "white dot." He was purchased for $60,000 at a yearling sale in the fall of 2006 by Eddie Woods, then 48, an Irishman with a sprawling Florida farm who had been a jockey in his youth and now operates as a pinhooker, buying yearlings for the purpose of teaching them to run and reselling them for a profit. Woods saw the white dot, grown to the size of a golf ball on his unnamed baby. "Some good horses have something about them that's totally different from other horses," says Woods. "It's their x factor. That's his thing: a brilliant white spot in a very obscure place."
