Tartas 2010 04 04

The Endurance race CEI** 120 km at Tartas France April 4th, the Pepi son Al Abjar BR was placed 6th of 110 starters and 71 fulfilling the race. The average tempo was 21.412 km/H. The pedigree is interesting as he is twice Piewica through Pepi and Ibn Bandos. Blood will tell. The impact of good mares is obvious.

Successful Endurance Horses

I was looking into Lydie Lemmens French Endurance site and she has now started to update the endurance races for 2010.
The Tartas CEI** 120 km was held April 4th and the Pepi son Al Abjar BR was placed 6th of 110 contenders and 71 approved. The average speed was 21. 412 km/H.

Blood will tell!

Endurance Vedemaritten

I just had a report on the phone: Annelie Eriksson/Zsulemi was winning the CEI 1* 80 km race on the time (rate) 21.1 km/H and Christoffer Bäcke was forth on the other Annelie-horse Dahle on the time (rate) 21.0 km/H Placed Third in the same race was a young girl, Fannie Eriksson/El Charimo. She and all her family have just joined the Dalarnas Endurance Club and it was her very first race in the new club.

Zsulemi is for sale and will be a very good alternative for a little heavier rider than Annelie as she must add 20 kg "dead" weight to follow the regulations.

Fick just meddelande om att Annelie Eriksson vunnit Vedemaritten CEI 1* 80 km på en hastighet av 21.1 km/tim. Christoffer var strax efter och blev 4a på en hastighet av 20.0 km/tim. Lilla nyförvärvet Fannie Eriksson som just gått med i Dalarnas distansryttarklubb blev 3a så av de fyra först placerade kom tre från samma nedre Norrlands klubb! Jättekul för de tävlande och även för Gävledala!!!

Balanced Breeding

I have been translating the Norman Hall report about Pedigree Matching and will now publish the Swedish version in an abridgement. The original is to be found on my site on the Links. Norman Hall gave me his approval to use his report and he even sent me a download version of his book Queen amongst Queens. That is an interesting publication. It is a very up-to-date one. The newest stallions like Varenne is described and so are several breeding programs from all over the world. Both ancient and todays doings are looked upon.

Rönningeritten 2010 March 28

Annelie Eriksson and King Peak have now finished their first approved Endurance competition - 50 km. They placed 12th out of 24 competitors on 11,5 km/H. That was a good start for the season 2010 both for Annelie and King Peak.

Debuten
Annelie Eriksson och King Peak har nu genomfört sin första tävling i Distans. Debuten på 50 km gick bra och de blev godkända. Genomsnittshastigheten var 11,5 km/H och placeringen blev en 12e plats av 24 startande. De var 8 ekipage som hade samma tid. King Peaks puls var 52. Underlaget var svårt med mycket snö i skogen. Alla red förnuftigt och sparsamt med sina hästar så det var bara en uteslutning.

Parnassos son King Peak

Today King Peak is out on his first 50 kilometers Endurance competition. He did 3 Clear Rounds, each 50 km, last year as 5 y.o. but now when he is 6 he can start the real Endurance life! If everything goes as planned, his next competition will be a 80 kilometers within a month.

Pedigree Matching /Matchning av stamtavlor

A while ago, I came across an interesting documentation about the Pedigree Matching. It is an investigation and documentation by Mr Norman Hall in Canada. This is interesting in all aspects as it is a confirmation af my own thinking and my own theories. During my 50 years of studies of the pedigrees and the discovery of the importance of the damlines and their impact as mothers of the breeding stallions I feel very satisfied to have this confirmed.
This has been known for thousands of years and every now and then some successful breeders have used the knowledge for breeding good horses. More frequently though, is the short-term thinking of the use of a successful stallion without a good damline. In the first generation it can give some good competing progeny, but in the generations to follow the breeding material is weakend and the potentially good mare line will be destroyed.
The english version of Mr Hall´s report can be seen on my site http://www.aramon.se/

Matchning av stamtavlor
För en tid sen hittade jag en mycket intressant sida på nätet om matchande stamtavlor i aveln av Mr Norman Hall i Canada. Detta gjorde mig mycket nyfiken och senare mycket tillfredsställd. Det var en absolut bekräftelse på mina egna iakttagelser från mina 50 års uppföljning och studier av stamtavlor och kopplingen jag funnit utifrån stolinjernas betydelse i den använda avelshingsten och stoet. Dessa kunskaper har under tusentals år funnits hos beduinerna. Med jämna mellanrum har det kortsiktiga tänkandet grumlat och skymt sikten men de stora och mest berömda uppfödarna har följt dessa riktlinjer. I den "moderna" övertron på enbart hingstens betydelse kan det fungera i första generationen där han kan ha stort inflytande över ett vekt sto. Tyvärr får man sedan i kommande generation(er) dras med både hingstens prestationssvaga mor och avkommans veka mor. Med andra ord har man försvagat sitt avelsmaterial högst betydligt. Jag kommer att utveckla dessa vetenskapliga rön mer ingående här på bloggen.
