Hästavel – en utopi?


Om man nu vet vad man vill ha, vad man strävar efter så gäller det “bara” att hitta de rätta individerna. Men hur får man reda på allt som dem? Självklart beror det på ras och ålder hur lätt det är att få tillgång till relevant information.
Name then? Ullekalv’s Antea. In latin that is supposed to mean “the first” so I thought that to be suitable. As barn name Tea would do fine.

Of course the stall door was open and Tea started of by walking outside. The others got really interested and Calinka have been close by most of the day. |

It wasn’t their most camera friendly day (they preferred to eat), but I got some pictures.

Bunny – one silver gene. |
Som tidigare inlägg kanske har visat tycker jag om variation och vissa olikheter i min avel. Men, det finns även sådant som jag inte tolererar och som jag inte skulle avla för. Svensk lag säger att man inte får avla på djur där det finns risk för stort lidande hos avkomman. Det kan exempelvis vara en genetisk sjukdom.

En annan viktig faktor är faktiskt stoets kondition innan betäckning. En gammal skada som hindrar från arbete behöver inte hindra från betäckning – om det inte ger stoet problem att bära fölet. Den ökade vikten utsätter ju kroppen för en hel del extra slitage som stoet så klart måste klara av. Däremot måste man försöka förstå varför skadan uppkommit – är det något som kan gå i arv till fölet eller ej.

Pepper – no silver gene. |
So far, this is the “big” problem that I have found to be discussed within the breed. If I find more traits that is genetic and that can be avoided I am not going to breed those animals either. Even if the law would allow me I don’t want to be responsible for a foal that have a big chance of getting a short lifespan. That might happens anyway! And sometimes you even need to rebreed the horse as sometimes it is the combination that didn’t work out or just a mutation that happened to turn up in that foal. And it would be unfair to rule out otherwise good parent just as coincidence struck.
