Note from Tash Hello Friesian breeder enthusiast!!!! :):):) Welcome to the Ultimate Guidebook to Your Friesian Breeding Success! So excited to have you here and being interested in, perhaps, breeding with a Friesian. I remember when I first saw a Friesian for the first time. My heart stopped. I was in awe of their beauty and power. They truly are a magnificent animal, made all the more special by their most beautiful soft, kind temperament. I count my lucky stars every time I wake up and get to work with these amazing animals. Our stallions are so easy and fun to work with, all different in personality and in talents, but all special and wonderful in their own way. I am excited for you! One step closer to achieving your breeding Friesian Dream. Maybe you are looking to breed a stallion to ride and compete? Maybe a mare to breed and show? Maybe a gelding? I'm not sure what your exact dream is and breeding is a lottery, but I know for most of you, you are just looking for a special horse. A horse you can grow with, learn with and have fun with, and I know by breeding to us you will achieve that goal. We look forward to supporting you and helping you with anything you need in this journey. We are to help and we understand it is a big decision and can be overwhelming, so please reach out if you need us for any step of the way.

Welcome to the Ultimate Breeding Guidebook Hi and welcome to the Ultimate Guidebook to Your Friesian Breeding Success!

Then the fun starts, and we have three special gifts coming your way, as our way of saying thank-you for trusting us with your Friesian Dream! The three gifts are: 1. Access to “The Complete Guide to Horse Breeding Made Easy” which is a comprehensive look at everything involved from when you first breed your mare, to when your foal turns 3 years old and is ready to break in! Don’t worry it’s all in easy to understand language! 2. A Friesian Experience with the stallion that you have chosen to breed to! This includes grooming whichever of our stallions your mare will be bred to, and a photo opportunity! 3. I can’t tell you anything about this one except that you will receive it in the post... so keep an eye on your letterbox!! :)

I am so excited you are reading this and really look forward to meeting you in person, and helping you move forward in your friesian breeding dream. I understand it can be overwhelming at times, and there is a lot of information coming to you. That’s why we have created this resource for you, to hopefully answer every question you have, and to help you make an informed decision moving forward so you can ultimately achieve your dream friesian breeding objective. There are only 3 decisions you need to make! 1. The first thing you need to do is to figure out if you want to bring your mare to stud, or do AI with a skilled vet at home. We have put in “The Easy Breeding Guide” on pages 7-8 for these two options to be explained to you.

Please do not hesitate to call or email with any questions you might have. It is very important here at Ebony Park to match the right horse for the right person, and that stretches to breeding the right horse with the right mare.

2. Then it’s time to go through all the stallions - Ebony Park have 5 very different stallions for you to choose from, and we also be chatting to you in your breeding consultation to help you choose the perfect stallion for your mare.

To Your Dreams Becoming Reality,

3. Deciding what will suit your budget best - a payment plan over 11 months, or an upfront payment. Once you have made those decisions, we then process your application form and contract, which can be found on pages 25-39 (depending on what you have chosen and payment option) - this reserves the stallion of your choice to make sure you don’t miss out.

THE EASY BREEDING GUIDE – 7 EASY STEPS TO BREEDING YOUR MARE STEP 1 – CHOOSE YOUR STALLION You must make sure the stallion you have chosen highlights your mares strengths and improves on her weaknesses…the stallion should be a complement to your mare. There are many ways to do this – staring at conformation photos, looking at inbreeding coefficients, deciding if the stallion and your mare will combine to make a foal that is suitable for your purposes... or, if you are breeding with Ebony Park, we will do this for you in your one on one private consultation.

STEP 2 – BOOK IN YOUR MARE Read the contract carefully – some studs don’t have live foal guarantees, or you may pay for the semen rather than for a pregnancy. Ebony Park does offer a live foal guarantee, and you only pay the service fee once per pregnancy.

STEP 3 – FIND OUT WHERE SHE IS IN HER CYCLE If you know when your mare is in season, watch for the signs, and the minute your mare starts to exhibit these signs, call your vet to get a scan. The signs are: • Squatting and urinating when being teased – the tail will be held up high • Allowing the teaser stallion to approach and smell her (especially her back end!) • Winking of the vulva • Squealing when approached by the teaser • Behaving differently when you are riding her, or even just out in the paddock If you don’t know when she is in season, that’s fine, just call your vet for a scan, and he/she will be able to tell you where the mare is in season and cycling appropriately!

STEP 4 - FIND OUT WHEN SHE IS GOING TO OVULATE From when your mare first starts to exhibit the signs she is in season, she will generally ovulate 3-5 days later. Call your vet to scan the mare for more exact times – the vet looks at follicle size (the follicles contain the eggs) and how the uterus looks to determine when she will ovulate. The vet will let you know when your mare will most likely ovulate and when you need to breed her. If you have left it too late and she is going to ovulate before you have a chance to inseminate her – don’t stress!! The vet will be able to tell you what to do – he may want to come back and give her drugs to bring her back in season faster. The vet also has drugs that can help her to ovulate sooner than she would naturally if needed – this is to ensure you have the best possible chance to get your mare pregnant!

STEP 5 – ORDER SEMEN Some studs collect only on certain days of the week and need 48 hours notice to collect and ship semen, Ebony Park collects every day of the week and requires only 24 hours notice.

STEP 6 – BOOK VET TO INSEMINATE Book your vet in for a time as soon after the semen arrives as possible so that they can inseminate the mare for you – your vet will be flexible, but will need some notice! Once the vet has inseminated your mare, it is a good idea to get them to come back and scan her the next day to make sure she has ovulated and has the best chance possible of falling pregnant. Some mares do not ovulate when they are expected to!!!

STEP 7 – PREGNANCY TEST We suggest you get your vet out to pregnancy test at 16 days after insemination/ovulation – this is to make sure there are no twins! Another scan at 45 days is also ideal, as many pregnancies will terminate before this time, and this will give you a higher chance of successfully breeding your mare again in the same season!

THE THREE STEP GUIDE TO GETTING YOUR MARE PREGNANT AT STUD STEP 1 – DROP MARE OFF STEP 2 – WAIT FOR POSITIVE PREG TEST CALL STEP 3 – PICK MARE UP The choice of whether you breed your mare at home with chilled semen, or bring her to the stud is a very personal one – there are pros and cons for each method! Think about your specific situation, and what is going to be best for you. Some mares may not travel well, and tend to stress out when they leave the familiarity of your property or a particular horse they may share a paddock with. Some mares will already have a foal at foot and you may not want to risk travelling the foal so early in life. If this is the case, then you will probably want to have semen shipped to you from Ebony Park rather than inseminated fresh. However, breeding with fresh semen ensures that your mare has the largest window of opportunity in which to ovulate as the semen will last longer when inseminated fresh! It also ensures that just the one person (the stud) is organizing everything – scanning, collecting and inseminating can be all timed so that your mare has the best chance of getting pregnant. Some stallions may have high quality fresh semen, but it does not chill or freeze well, and therefore has less chance of getting you mare pregnant. On the other end of the scale, some stallions need extender added to their semen in order to make it last long enough! The stud will also have a lot of experience with breeding, and will take the hassle out of you having to learn all of the ins and outs – you just have to hand the mare over and let them do all of the work! There is also a negative side to shipping semen. You may need to take time off work to accommodate to when the vet can come out to scan or inseminate your mare, and lots of mares may not work exactly to the textbook, so this can be a time-consuming process. Vets don’t always run on time, as they are very busy during the breeding season and can’t always get to you when they say. Some mares are allergic to the extender we use to prolong the life of the semen, and will not get pregnant unless you inseminate them with fresh semen! The postal service, while usually good, does not always get semen to you on time – this does not often happen! Shipping semen, however, allows you to keep the mare where she is without transporting all over the countryside, allows you to use your own vet, and means that you are able to get semen from a stallion who may be over the other side of the country! Whichever process you choose, Ebony Park is here to discuss with you your personal needs and preferences, and help you to decide the best way for you and your mare to get a foal on the ground in a year’s time.

Ebony Park Jor!t Jorrit is an exceptional dressage stallion that made it through to the very prestigious 70 day performance test for approved stallions. In the performance test in Holland, Jorrit was within days of being approved as a stallion but a muscle strain hindered his movement and was unfortunately eliminated late in the test. He was also awarded a breeding permit from the KFPS when they came out for the 2013 Keuring. This is only awarded to very select Friesian stallions who possess the desired characteristics of the breed. There are only a few Friesian stallions in Australia Born 12/05/2003, 16.2hh, Jet Black that hold a current KFPS permit, and Ebony Park is imported Friesian ster stallion very proud to offer Ebony Park Jorrit to the discerning Friesian breeder.

Ebony Park Elko

Unfortunately, due to a paddock injury to his knee, Elko is no longer able to be ridden, and has been retired from the competition arena. Ebony Park is extremely disappointed and upset by this incident, however we are very happy that he is still able to be bred, and has still retained his breeding permit (not something to be taken lightly, as the KFPS are very strict about awarding breeding permits!). When Elko was able to be ridden he was destined to be Natashaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympic Grand Prix horse. He had everything! Three amazing paces, the desire and trainable temperament, and was quick to learn and improve. In his short career he scored up to 72% in preliminary and gained 44 grading points qualifying him for the 2006 Australian Dressage Championships in Novice in only 2 months of competition.

Chapter Three: Choosing a Stallion Gold Stallions Hi again! I know that having so many stallions to choose from only makes the decision harder... but we want to make sure that the right stallion is matched to your mare to make your Dream Friesian! Our stallions are all different in personality and type, so finding one that is a perfect match for your mare is so much easier! Our two youngest stallions - our Gold stallions that have been bred here at Ebony Park, again for the specific purpose of competing and breeding in dressage, are Dante (who was imported in utero from Holland but born here in at Ebony Park) and Zeus (who was born and bred right here at Ebony Park!). Each stallion is magnificent and different in their own way, and each will suit different mares and different purposes. Check them out on the following pages, and make sure you click on the links to visit their pages on our website, and to watch their videos! Enjoy! To Your Dreams Becoming Reality,

Zeus of Ebony Park Zeus is Elko’s first son that we have bred, and we have eagerly been waiting the years until he was old enough to work. At 5 1/2 he is already competing in Elementary level dressage, with scores over 68% and a Medium start expected late 2013! At the recent Keuring earlier this year, Zeus was upgraded to Ster status!! The judges liked his type and his movement, and we are very proud of this gorgeous boy! Zeus is a delight to work with, having an exceptional canter just like his father, and a swinging, easy trot. He is still taking time to mature with some growing to do, but in another year we are so excited to see where this boy is at! He has inherited the beautiful, willing Friesian temperament from both sire and dam. This will be Zeus’s third season standing at stud, with his first lot of gorgeous babies born last year, and a wonderful opportunity for people to get access to Elko’s bloodlines!

Born 22/11/2007, 16hh, jet black Friesian BBook1 Ster stallion. By our imported Friesian stallion (who has a breeding permit) Elko van der Woalderhoeve Registration Number: AU0360 0420 0706 076

Ebony Park Dante Dante is by Champion dutch stallion Norbert 444, who has won the prestigious Friesian Stallion Show in Holland for the last 2 years in a row – 2012 and 2013. We imported his gorgeous mother, Ebony Park Jantje from Holland, and within 2 months of his birth, Jantje was competed by Natasha, with three floating paces and one of the easiest horses to ride! Dante looks to be a superb mixture of sire and dam – he is solid, strong and powerful, at the same time being easy and willing to train. Natasha says this stallion is the definition of ‘easy’ – you get on and do nothing, and the horse performs exactly how you want underneath you. To handle he is quiet and obliging. He has great bloodlines and breed potential, and we can’t wait to breed him for the first time this year for some gorgeous foals in 2014! Dante was competed for the first time in February 2013 in Preliminary dressage – and what a superstar! It was his first time out ever, and he took it all in his stride, coming home with over 62%! We can’t wait to see what he does in the future on the dressage arena!

Initial: DELIVERY

Date:

Ebony Park Performance Friesians

Breeding Brochure 2013

Page 27

We recommend that you keep us regularly updated with your progress so we may offer our help and advice. Standard chilled semen delivery is Tuesday to Friday. Extra transport costs are involved with semen delivery Saturday to Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it is not always possible to deliver semen on these days. Also note that semen is on a first come, first served basis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; every effort will be made to accommodate two bookings on the same day, but calling up on the morning semen is required may result in your booking coming in too late as we only collect each stallion once per day. The stallions are only collected Monday to Friday between the hours of 1pm and 3pm unless otherwise arranged (for express post - couriers will need to be arranged with plenty of time to spare). 24 hours notice is required before semen can be dispatched. Semen collection outside of these hours, i.e. Saturday or Sunday or without 24 hours notice will attract an extra $100.00 charge, and only if it is possible can we fulfill the request. Although we will do all we can to help with delivery, Ebony Park is not responsible for late or non-delivery of semen for any reason whatsoever. Delivery will be to the address on the order form unless otherwise specified. We will do our utmost to have the semen with you when you require it, but please remember that stallions are animals and not machines and very occasionally they do not wish to perform. Nor can we be responsible for adverse weather conditions affecting delivery - obviously we will always do all we can to get your mare in foal.

However, in the event that a mare does not get pregnant during the 2013 breeding season, a refund of the service fee will be given to the mare owner in the form of a cheque. This amount will be the value of the service fee, minus the non-refundable booking fee. I have read and fully accept the “Terms and Conditions”.

FRESH SEMEN Fresh semen is inseminated into one mare only per stud fee. As soon as you know (i.e. the vet has scanned) or feel (i.e. she is teasing) that your mare may be regularly coming into season please contact the stud and let us know, so that we can book your mare into a paddock at the stud for insemination. Alternatively, you can leave her here and we can get her scanned and ready for insemination. 48 hours before dropping her off please contact us on (03) 9796 8690 or 0422 227 364 and confirm your booking. The more information and notice you can provide for us, the better we can accommodate your requirements.
