In response to the ongoing challenges posed by inbreeding, the Friesian Fusion Studbook is introduced, embracing a broader spectrum of breeds to enrich the Friesian genetic pool. By crossing Friesians with various other breeds, this studbook endeavours to mitigate the risks associated with a narrow genetic base, aiming for horses with improved vitality, longevity, and a reduced predisposition to hereditary health issues.
The decision to introduce Friesian Fusion stems from the acknowledgment of historical inbreeding challenges within the Friesian breed. While the Friesian horse has enjoyed global popularity, the effects of past breeding practices have led to concerns about the genetic health of the population. The new studbook seek to address these challenges head-on by promoting genetic diversity while maintaining the cherished traits that define the Friesian breed.
Friesian Fusion Studbook not just about introducing foreign blood but are a strategic effort to enhance the genetic robustness of the Friesian breed. Friesian Fusion Studbook aim to strike a balance between preserving the integrity of the Friesian lineage and introducing the necessary genetic diversity for a healthier and more resilient breed.
