Welcome to the Rainbow Dreams Stables Sire & Dam Listing! I've been involved in the pedigree assignment hobby since the late 1980s and, after returning to the hobby in recent years, have been actively expanding my breeding program and sire and dam listings. As a result, this directory is constantly growing with new horses and bloodlines. Be sure to check back often, as new horses are added regularly!
Many of the horses listed are older and remain available for historical breedings. While I strive to trace all of my current pedigrees to real horses whenever possible, some horses, particularly those from my earlier years in the hobby, are modelbred and may not trace to real bloodlines. Where known, real horses are denoted by a -r following their name in the pedigree.
Use of my Stock -- Rainbow Dreams Stables equines may not be used as the sire/dam of your model without written permission from their owner, Beth Gustas, in the form of an email and updated parent page. I do not typically create breeding certificates, but I can on request.
Age Requirements -- All horses bred through Rainbow Dreams Stables must be aging. Offspring must be 4 years younger than their sire and born within the mare's stated open years. (Please include a second and third choice for year born in case your first choice has already been taken.)
Color Genetics -- Rainbow Dreams Stables strives for correct color genetics in its breeding stock. Since the PA hobby now knows so much more about equine genetics, I ask that you please follow the rules of color genetics when choosing parents for your horses. Lesli Kathman's book The Equine Tapestry: An Introduction to Colors and Patterns is an excellent reference. A good rule of thumb to make sure at least one parent is the same color as your foal. For additional information, try googling equine color.
Breed Naming Rules & Requirements -- Some live horse breeds have specific naming restrictions such as using the first letter of a sire or dam's name or having the first letter of the name corresponding with a specific year. Please follow these rules when selecting names for your stock. A copy of these naming rules are available at https://ipabra.org/intro-to-pa/naming-the-model-horse/.
Real Mare Registry -- All live mares used as dams of Rainbow Dreams Stables' stock are registered with the IPABRA Real Mare Registries (where available). Due to the scarcity of real mare pedigrees easily available for pedigree assigners, IPABRA has created the Real Mare Registry to try and help avoid multiple duplications of foals born on the same date. This is a completely voluntary service, but IPABRA encourages members to use the RMR to help make their own lists more realistic. More information on the IPABRA real mare registries are available at: https://ipabra.org/other/real-mare-registry/.
How to Request a Breeding -- To request a breeding, please send me an email with the following information:
If the second parent is not owned by Rainbow Dreams Stables, please also provide as much as possible from the above list as well as a 3-4 generation pedigree.
Please Keep In Touch! -- I would love to hear about your foals' accomplishments in the model horse showing, racing, and breeding scene! Please keep me up to date with records on your stock's achievements. This information will be added to my horses' permanent record and is greatly appreciated! I will also love to receive clear halter photos of high-quality show horses by or out of my stock. These photos will be used only for bloodstock classes.
What is IPABRA?
IPABRA, the International Pedigree Assignment and Bloodline Research Association, is a model horse club dedicated to the research of equine bloodlines and its realistic application in the model horse hobby. Through a fantastic Facebook group, a web site full of information, and networking with other hobbyists, members learn about equine genetics and breed ideals and use this information to realistically pedigree their own "stock". Rainbow Dreams Stables is proud to be a member of this excellent organization and encourages any hobbyist with an interest in pedigree assignment to join!
