But she has since hung up her horse shoes and retired to become a brood mare! We are so luck to have found a mare who not only is a outstanding mother and producer of 3 Homozygous foals she is the ONLY Child of a super consistant Showjumper who sold to the USA for one Million pounds.

Ruby has produced coloured Homozygous progeny: Angrove Spotted Dick  in 2007 and Homozygous Angrove Cherry Pie 2008, and Homozygous Angrove Arctic Roll 2009.

In a recent Horse & Hound  news article 25/9/08 about cloning;

Founder of Cryozootech Eric Palmer said "Thoroughbred blood is important to the genetic pool of the modern show jumper breeding, but it is in short supply, since there are few thoroughbred stallions in the top level of show jumping."

Angrove stud are utilising Ruby's Thoroughbred showjumping breeding by crossing her to her sires half brother,Ricco, to produce foals with familial genes that carry the same family traits, either showjumping & more obvious colour! This has produced three homozygous foals for us out of three matings her new baby, a bay and white Homozygous colt has proved this is a very special mare, as she has done it again.

Dear Heather
 
Congratulatons on your recent run of horse DNA test colour results. As you are aware, the Tobiano Homozygous horse is a highly desirable breeding specimen, it has inherited the Tobiano gene and coat pattern from both parents, and therefore when bred is guaranteed to produce 100% Tobiano patterned foals (Piebald or Skewbald) regardless of the mate.
 
Although the Tobiano Homozygous horse is not massively rare, it is indeed sought after and often purpose bred. The case of your test results are however slightly more special, when two NON Homozygous horses are bred together, such as the parents of your foals, the offspring only have a 25% chance of being Homozygous themselves. It was a stroke of fortune that this happened just once, to happen twice in a row was certainly unsual, but to happen three times really is extraordinary. The likelihood of this happening three times was 1.56%.  
 
In simple terms, the odds of your non-Homozygous horses to breed three out of three true-breeding coloured foals, in a row, were 1 in 64.
 
Thanks again for submitting the samples, and please feel free to contact us if you have any further queries.
 
Best Wishes
