The initial shipment, in 1665, consisted of two stallions and twenty mares from the Royal Stables in Normandy and Brittany, the centre of French horse breeding.[7] Only 12 of the 20 mares survived the trip. Two more shipments followed, one in 1667 of 14 horses (mostly mares, but with at least one stallion), and one in 1670 of 11 mares and a ...
Only mares in the highest mare books can produce breeding stallion sons. While mares can be entered into the studbook at local shows, the process of having a young stallion approved for breeding is lengthy. Stallion candidates are often identified as foals, and at the age of 2 and a half the best colts attend the licensing in Munich, Bavaria.
[20] [21] In 1985, around 27,000 horses were counted. [4] A highly accurate population count was carried out in 1990, counting 28,949 Adaev horses in Kazakhstan, with a trend towards stability. There were also 772 Adaev stallions in operation that year, with 12,772 breeding mares, 44 of them purebred.
The Red Army took over the stud farm, set fire to the buildings, stole the horses that had been evacuated, and took them deep into the USSR—a 1,000 mile trek—to Tersk Stud. Among them was the mare Mammon and the stallion Ofir who became the foundation stock of the Arabian horse farm

A stallion is a male horse that has not been gelded ().Stallions follow the conformation and phenotype of their breed, but within that standard, the presence of hormones such as testosterone may give stallions a thicker, "cresty" neck, as well as a somewhat more muscular physique as compared to female horses, known as mares, and castrated males, called geldings.
The breed was built on a mare base of all-purpose farm and carriage horses, today called the Alt-Oldenburger. The modern Oldenburg is managed by the Association of Breeders of the Oldenburger Horse , which enacts strict selection of breeding stock to ensure that each generation is better than the last.
The mare Bukra, too near foaling to travel, was shot on Wilfred's orders. [4] Bitter and anxious to pay off his creditors, Wilfrid sold 37 horses, exporting several to W.R. Brown's Maynesboro stud in the United States. Between thefts and sales of horses at Newbuildings, many horses of the original Blunt breeding program were lost to Crabbet.
Zernebog (1845–1871) was a foundation stallion for the Hanoverian breed, and his descendants in the male line make up the F and W families. He was born in Mecklenburg and was purchased by Celle. Alnok, a Celle stallion born in 1888, was sired by the Thoroughbred Adeptus. Adeptus is represented by male line descendants like E.T. FRH and Eiger.
