Calling for expressions of interest

Breeding can be rewarding and fun!

Would you like to join others in a syndicate to breed a top yearling for the sales?

I’m proposing a breeding syndicate for 2013/14 season to breed a commercial foal for the 2016 yearling sales, using my young well-bred black type mare, who is a half-sister to Tintin In America.

Are you

• Keen to get involved in breeding standardbred horses – or know someone who might be?
• Love breeding but struggling with the costs and risks?
• Or maybe you don’t have a commercial mare?

I want to do something positive to bring in new people to breeding and help current small-scale breeders stay involved. Rewards, if any, will be shared by all syndicate members, as will the risks.

I am looking for 15-plus syndicate members. Preference will be given to those who are

• new to breeding standardbreds, or
• have been out of breeding for some time and looking to get involved again, or
• are small-time breeders who are struggling to stay involved and enthusiastic, or
• breeders who have a small financial interest in breeding already, but want to learn more and scale up their operation in future.

Although the syndicate would be North Island based, if sufficient numbers in the South Island expressed interest there may be a way to breed from two mares, one in each island.

One affordable up-front payment. No weekly or monthly payments.

This is an opportunity to have a positive experience in breeding by sharing the risks and rewards of breeding and have some fun and learning along the way.

If you are interested, contact me (Bee Pears) on bee.raglan@xtra.co.nz  or leave a comment on this page by 15 March 2013- please give an indication of your current involvement in breeding.
