GP Dandi Gem has just produced her first foal, a beautiful bay and white filly. This is the first all American bred pintabian foal born in the UK, infact probably the first pintabian foal ever born in the UK.

************************************************************************
Welcome to the Terackie Pintabian Stud. We are importing two bay and white homozygous pintabian fillies into the UK later in 2006, purchased from Jodi and Dan Blesener of Grindstone Pintabians, Minnesota, USA. As far as we are aware they will be the first ever imported into the UK so we are very excited about this new venture. When bred to a pure arab stallion these pintabian mares should produce foals with the tobiano pattern and all will be approx 99.8% arab blood. Jodi and Dan are currently trying to get GP Dandi Gem impregnated by another homozygous pintabian stallion over in Iowa at the Pintabia stud of Jean and Stan Hawes. Their stallion is Wahed Kemotion also known as "The Kid". These two mares and hopefully a homozygous tobiano foal next year will be the foundation stock of our newly formed Pintabian stud.
The Pintabian is a breed of horse that must be verified as having 99% or more purebred Arabian blood with a tobiano coat pattern. Pintabians are bred for their beauty, intelligence, disposition, stamina, and are very versatile. They have a short dished head that is wide-set between large eyes, long arched neck, short back, level hip, and high tail carriage. The general height range is between 14.2 and 15.2, with a few individuals over or under that height and weight between 900 and 1,100 pounds.
Pintabians are ideal for pleasure, showing, competitive and endurance sports, driving, racing, or just family fun.
It is common misconception that the "Pintabian" (pin-TAY-bee-an) horse is simply a cross between an Arabian and a spotted horse of Pinto or Paint breeding. This, however, is not the case, because of its dominant characteristics, experts in the field of genetics have known for years that it is possible to breed the popular tobiano spotting pattern into the Arabian breed to produce a "relatively pure" strain of tobiano horses with over 99% Arabian blood (also known as the Pintabian!). As you may already know, the purebred Arabian horse does not come in the tobiano pattern. Also, because of the genetic make-up of the tobiano gene, at least one parent must be a tobiano in order to produce a horse with tobiano markings. The Pintabian breed was developed by continually crossing tobianos back to purebred Arabians, and in order to be eligible for registration in the Pintabian Horse Registry, horses must be over 99% Arabian in blood. It is because of this high degree of Arabian blood that the Arabian "type" of the Pintabian horse breeds true.
