Another important program that I followed was a foundation Charlois breeder from Kansas. Recently, I came across a small book that embodies most everything that I have observed in successful linebreeding programs. The book The Basis of Linebreeding by J.H. Lents. Another writer that makes the reader aware of linebreeding in a pedigree of a horse is Larry Thorton. The article states.
Horse breeding is an inexact science.
We never really know just how good the foal will turn out when we plan the mating of the sire and dam. This makes horse breeding an exciting and interesting phase of our industry. One area that can the breeder make sound mating decisions is the use of the pedigree. The pedigree is a genetic history of your horses and it can be a good source of information for your breeding plan. The pedigree can even give you a genetic history of your foals before they are conceived.
