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.
.The Goal of Angrove Stud is to become the World's leading breeder of coloured tobiano racehorses going into mainstream horseracing.
The reason we have chosen Tobiano as opposed to Overo is that Tobiano is a dominant gene and Overo is recessive expression which may or may not show as a coat colour where tobiano is at worst 50 % 50% Ratio there is some level of a guarantee, using pure numbers of plain mares, It is also inpossible 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.
We have discovered a formulation for gaining more colour combinations in our breeding programme giving similar results as a Homozygous.
With this aim we need to encourage other world-wide breeders of Coloured Thoroughbreds to become well known, so we have put links on our web site to help interested people find each other, breeders, owners, and potential buyers we will need each other to put coloureds on the racetrack and keep them there.
Angrove stud's aim for 2009 is to have five pure thoroughbred mares in foal to Ricco. The stud will have available 5 foals 7/8 thoroughbred and with a bit of Luck Tobiano.
The importance of the Weatherbys NTR
In order for Horses to be eligible to race in the UK, Horses need to have a sire and dam registered either in the GSB or the NTR register.
Ricco is a registered sire in the NTR Stud Book, Angrove Stud offers you the opportunity of registration in the NTR using the Covering certificate that this status allows, and the progeny of such a mating of register mares can race under rules in the UK.
Other Markets
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.
We believe that this thoroughbred addition increases the intelligence of the horse, and its ability to react quickly and get out of trouble, It is also very desirable to have the addition of Tobiano / skewbald/Piebald featured and added into the TB so future warmblood breeders can constantly improve.
As The great Samber was half TB, if it works for the Dutch it will work for other European & UK breeds.
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!.
If you would like to advertise your coloured thoroughbred stallion at stud or horse for sale here, please contact us through this site.
If you are looking for a GSB Overo to purchase or use as a stud, we can help you find them in Europe and the USA.
Although we choose not to breed Overos, we love them and do part own, an overo broodmare!
We are now looking for like minded people who are intested in promoting and breeding TB with Colour, who would like to join the assocation.
