Good horses do
not happen by accident.
Whatever the size operation
or the location, the production of a quality riding horse
requires many things to work well. It takes an enormous effort and daily
dedication, a thorough working knowledge about what the qualities are that make
up a good riding horse and why, a lot of time and patience, and then
some really good luck.
Critical
to the success of any breeder is first, a good mare with good
genetics to work with. It is impossible to expect satisfactory offspring
from breeding based on emotional attachment to a less than quality mare.
Because there is a much greater risk to breeding in smaller quantities, success
so depends on careful choices based on a strong sense of the quality of horses.
This is also critical for the betterment of the breeds.
Windhover purposely maintains a small group
of carefully selected KWPN/Dutch mares and their foals. These horses spend
most of their time outside in paddocks with plenty of room for exercise and
socializing. The young ones are handled thoroughly early on to create positive
learning patterns, and their diets and general health are carefully monitored.
