@@alexandramabson4234 I feel the same way!

I believe the focus of this particular rewilding project was to reclaim/enhance the presence of abundant stripes and it was experimental to cross with other wild type equines, such as the Garrano. There was a time when they had a heavily striped grulla Lusitano cross in the program as well, but to my knowledge, none of these experimental crossings reliably produced abundant stripes. Dun factor stripes continue to be a bit of a mystery, some offspring get just a few stripes, some get none and a few rare instances are abundantly striped. As much a mystery as the medieval Zebro has been and continues to be.

Thank you for viewing!

Thank you! I always remember how you described the low grass horizontal spider webs as “spin rags”, so I think of you, Miek, every time I see these types of webs!

In this instance, fearlessness is a learned skill - anyone can manage it! And the QUICKENING that one gets after getting out is medicinally addictive!

Hello András! All these things have been documented in the Journal of Ravenseyrie and the separation of the males from the females occurred in 2013. There were 20 foals born at Ravenseyrie, 2 of them were from half-siblings, the rest all by Altamiro. We have limited space and limited finances and limited energy and could not sustain continued growth. The reality of this was most difficult - and much more sad for us than for you, I can assure you. At least we are able to continue to provide for both groups to live in wild habitats. Should there be conservationists in Canada interested in beginning their own preservation of these types of horses we would definitely consider sharing from our mares and stallions to get them started.

These are Sorraia Mustang mares. Some are from Spanish Mustang heritage, others are part Spanish Mustang and part Portuguese Sorraia. I hope I understood your question and gave you a helpful answer. Cheers!

I agree, even though they are presently sporting a good number of burrs and tangles in their tresses and of course are in winter pelage with many a patch of hair nipped off from all the stallion scuffles. Yet, so handsome! Thank you for your comment. All the best in 2020 for wild living horses around the world.

Yep, happy new year to ya. Are there any family bands on the preserve?

Sadly, no. We are just two people with a limited range and even more limited finances. You can read about the tough decisions we had to make, here: ravenseyrie.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-new-phase-of-conservation-for.html

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It is a great honour to be in a gallery as lovely as the one in The Gore Bay Museum. All the best to you, and thanks for watching!

Hi guys check out this painting video th-cam.com/video/QNbSDN40vS4/w-d-xo.html

Maraff, please tell me what pure means to you and what that means for Sorraia?

Maraff, please read the overview page in my Journal of Ravenseyrie to assist you in understanding what an important role Altamiro has made for Sorraias in Europe as well as Sorraia type mustangs in North America: ravenseyrie.blogspot.ca/p/overview-of-ravenseyrie-sorraia-mustang.html

Lynne Gerard Mustangs are not sorraias !

Maraff, you have written " SAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL HORSE FROM EXTINCTION !" There are many viable ways to assist in this, and what has been undertaken at Ravenseyrie is important and perhaps vital to the overall cause.

Lynne Gerard great respect for that ! eep the good work ! some sorraias mustangs could save the race !

I agree!

jerebuck, thank you for sharing about your Sorraia type Criollo. Please email me images if you have any. ravenseyrie@xplornet.com If not, it is nice just the same to read your fantastic memory of a long journey together.

Sven, my Journal of Ravenseyrie overview page tells about the foundation of our horses, who the sire and who the dams are: ravenseyrie.blogspot.ca/p/overview-of-ravenseyrie-sorraia-mustang.html I hope that helps you remember about our role in the conservation effort of both the Sorraia and the Sorraia type North American Mustangs.

Jan! I am glad you were able to view the video and appreciate the life these horses have on our beautiful island.

My pleasure! And I'm sure you saw Levada and Tocara and Alegria's daddy in some of the images, yes?

Lynne Gerard tocara... not so sure. but levada and interessado yes. and one of the mares has a very similar face like Grelo.

Claudia Radbauer the one at minute 1:45

Claudia Radbauer i just wish i had your property for my horses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Claudia Radbauer Tocara is in the photo at :52, on the far right and also in the photo at :59 in the centre. The mare with the face like Grelo is Levada's dam, Zorita. Those fillies were yearlings in these images. And to think now the live on your ranch in the Vienna Woods...soooo far from here. I miss them, but am happy to know they are in a good place with you and poised to continue the conservation efforts there in Austria.
