"DUSTEE PINTOS"
"Dustee Pintos" is a small stud owned by Shane & Josephine Thornton. Our aim is to breed affordable good types of a horses/ponys to suit the whole family and a range of disciplines for work and play!! Where temperament comes first, colour is just a bonus.
OUR STUD NAME & HOW IT CAME ABOUT
This came about as something country, memorable, short (more letters left for the horses name) and in honour of that Australian Legend SLIM DUSTY my favourite singer however we changed the "Y" to "EE" for distinction. We hope our horses will become as well known and respected as the man himself.
OUR STANCE ON HERDA, HYPP AND OLWS.
Dustee Pintos see HERDA, HYPP and OLWS as a disease not to be passed on either as afflicted horses or carriers, we are currently implementing an improvment year for our stud, which includes testing for all 3 if needed and striking those affected horses (if any) from our breeding program.
IMPROVING OUR STUD
Everyone has to start somewhere, we've started with what we have had and continue to improve upon it little by little. While our horses have always been good handy types we are now aiming to have all of them carry some form of registration (and where possible two registrations), to be tested for genetic diseases, all stock branded (especially our foals before they leave), to implement a vaccination program, introduce a more adequate form of record keeping and get our horses shown. As those who work hard for little money know this all takes time, be patient.
