Chamfron Stud

I used to talk to a friend of mine -- a woman who also raised her horse from a baby -- and we talked about publishing a picture book, one that traced top foals to adulthood. We'd identify top foals, average foals, and "homely" foals at breeding farms, trying to identify a wide range of types and breeding lines. We'd pick out a good sampling and take conformation photos of them every six months as they become riding horses and competition horses. We'd include information like breed show results and performance results -- maybe even links to a web site with videos! How informative would that be? Very! And Chamfron Stud posted this great photo on their Facebook page. It's  Chamfron Marco Polo by their Appaloosa stallion Exbury Ghost and out of an imported Quarter Horse called Shesa Perfect Zippo.    I wish more breeders would do this. Here the photos show how you can't predict color, no matter how much sellers pressure you for something definitive.

Chamfron Stud's breeder Laura likes to trace the progress of her horses even after they are sold. She'd like to do more of these aging progressions, and I'd certainly love to see it! Chamfron Stud is in southwest Scotland.  Here are a few of the many wonderful pix on the Chamfron Facebook page...
