The
Stud-Book
- part 2 |
The foundation stock of the stud-book
register was strongly influenced by ponies bred by the Marquis of Londonderry. Not
only did the Shetland Island breeders use his stallions, but other U.K.
breeders soon started to buy mares and stallions from the Londonderry
herd. One stallion, Prince of Thule 36, although owned by Lord
Londonderry but not bred by him, comes into many pedigrees and was used
primarily on daughters and granddaughters of Jack 16. |
