We Chapmans’ are typically known for breeding Quarter <strong>Horse</strong>s, and over the last<br />

couple <strong>of</strong> years we’ve tested our luck with <strong>Paint</strong>s, and have come out extremely lucky.<br />

STORY: CHAPMANS • <strong>PH</strong>OTOS: TRACEY BAVINTON<br />

w<br />

We’ve known many people over the years breeding <strong>Paint</strong>s,<br />

have continuously bred solid after solid. And yes, those<br />

Chapman’s manage to breed three out <strong>of</strong> three coloured<br />

foals, two fillies and one colt.<br />

It all began when the Mytee Obvious Te mares we retained<br />

were ready to breed. We decided to use the sire Gladiator*,<br />

purely on his breeding alone we had to breed to him.<br />

With the cross <strong>of</strong> both blood lines <strong>of</strong> the number one<br />

<strong>Paint</strong> horse, Mighty Awesome, in the USA crossed with the<br />

number one Quarter <strong>Horse</strong> producing mare, Conclusive<br />

Lace, you’d be crazy not too get hold <strong>of</strong> these blood lines.<br />

We chose to breed GSQ Mytee Fine Lady, to Gladiator*,<br />

and the resulting foal was a loud overo colt, GSQ Mytee<br />
