【ℤA】Breeding Standards

【ℤiel’s Acres Breeding Standards】
ℤiel's Acres is a breeding and training facility with the main goal of bettering the breeds we work with by producing healthy, attractive, well-rounded animals. All breeds we work with are held to strict standards as their projects progress, and only our very best are permitted to breed. Any horses born that don’t improve in quality will either be sold immediately, or trained up to ensure a steady stream of income for our facility.

Please note that we often achieve improvement in the breeds through outcrossing, so we have many mixed and part bred animals.

Tarpans: Aiming for purebred horses with high stats and breed evaluation. NO REDS! Outcrossing was previously used to raise strength + movement stats, and may be used again if they become an issue.

Przewalskis: Aiming for purebred horses with high stats and breed evaluation. NO REDS! Outcrossing was previously used to raise movement stats, and may be used again if they become an issue.

Friesians: Aiming for horses that conform to real-life breed appearance. Also aiming for high stats and movement.

• Friesians should be 14hh to 17hh, of horse type with a medium light to medium heavy body, and with legs of medium bone.
• They should have long and thick manes and tails, as well as medium feathering.
• The shoulder should be long and sloped.
• The head should be of similar length to the shoulder, with a straight profile and medium to shallow jowls.
• The neck should be as long as or longer than the shoulder.
• The back should be at minimum 1+1/3 the length of the shoulder.
• The ribs should be medium to deep, with a medium flank.
• They should be built slightly uphill with long, round hips and a low-set tail.
• Coat should be pure black.

Gypsy Vanners: Aiming for horses that conform to real-life breed appearance. Also aiming for high stats and movement.

• Gypsies should be 15.1hh to 16.2hh, of pony type with a medium to heavy body, and with legs of medium to medium thick bone.
• They should have long and thick manes, tails, and feathers.
• The shoulder should be long and sloped.
• Their head should be about 2/3rds the length of the shoulder, with a straight or slightly convex profile and thick jowls.
• Their necks and backs should be the same length as the shoulder, measuring from the withers.
• Their ribs and flank should be deep.
• They should be built slightly downhill, with a long, round hip and low-set tail.
• Coat can be any color, although I am aiming for “attractive, unique” Tobiano coats.
