BREEDING

Everyone has a breeding program.  If there is any doubt about it, just ask them.  Well, Snowridge Appaloosas has one too.  We like to think that ours might be just a little different in some respects.  I would encourage you to read the section labeled “Our Philosophy” if you haven’t yet gotten there.

We try to produce a better more functional horse than some of the body extremes we start with.  We try to sustain a high level of the Appaloosa gene pool in the resultant foals.  We try to keep what we started with, not losing any of it in the process, sometimes substituting an equivalent in place of the original, but never ending up with less.  We try to produce diversity within our herd, and at the same time create the same gene pool potential in all of its members.  We are comfortable in this program to an extent that if we were forced to breed half brothers to half sisters, to save or recover a bloodline, we could do so with the absence of risk that we presume to have with unrelated mares and stallions.
