Dear Fellow Horseman, - PDF Free Download

Dear Fellow Horseman, Thank you for your interest in breeding your mare to Titan! Titan is by far the most talented and best-minded horse I ve ever had the pleasure of training throughout my career. His world-class bloodlines along with his pleasing disposition, athletic ability and willingness set him apart from other horses and put him in an elite class. I m a firm believer that a horse has to earn his right to stand at stud, and Titan certainly fits that bill for me. I m proud to make his bloodlines available to the public so that you can cross your mare to him to get the horse of your dreams. This packet of information will provide you with an overview of Titan and frequently asked questions about breeding to him. You ll also learn how to move forward with the professionals at ESMS on the Brazos to obtain a breeding contract and to book your mare to him. I m extremely passionate about Titan s future and hope you and your mare join us on this exciting chapter in his journey!

Yes; however, his deafness has had no effect on his trainability or ability to perform. Titan is easily one of the most talented horses Clinton has ever trained, and he has that special something that sets great horses apart from average horses - heart. What are the chances that Titan s foals will be deaf? While there is a chance that some of his foals will be deaf, the exact percent that will inherit the deafness is scientifically unknown at this time. The deafness is related both to certain color genes that may or may not be passed on, as well as how those genes will be expressed in the foal. Will my foal be guaranteed to be colored? No. However, there is a 75 percent chance that a splash white or color gene will be inherited by the foal, with results ranging from four white legs and a blaze to an almost all white horse, and everything in between. Titan has been color tested and does not carry the Lethal White Overo gene. How do I request a breeding contract or move forward with breeding my mare to Titan?
