Expert Pedigree and Mating Consulting Services for the Discerning Breeder

At Grand Prix Pedigrees, we believe that informed breeding decisions are the foundation of producing exceptional sport and breeding horses. Paula McRae’s consulting services are designed to provide breeders with a thorough understanding of their breeding stock — drawing on decades of pedigree research, breeding warmbloods, and a deep knowledge of the bloodlines that have shaped modern warmblood breeding.

Pedigree analysis is one of the most powerful tools available to breeders. When combined with conformation assessment, performance records, and an understanding of genetic principles, it enables breeders to make strategic decisions about stallion selection, mare evaluation, and long-term breeding direction. Our goal is to help you see beyond the names on a page, and understand the genetic potential your horses carry. The aim is to reliably improve both sport and breeding stock through balanced breeding techniques.

Mating Planning & Stallion Selection

Choosing the right stallion for your mare is one the most important decision a breeder will make. Grand Prix Pedigrees takes a balanced breeding approach to mating planning — carefully evaluating the genetic strengths and weaknesses on both sides of a proposed mating to identify combinations that complement and reinforce desirable traits while minimising the concentration of known weaknesses.

Our mating consultations consider the full pedigree picture: genetic compatibility, pedigree structure, the performance and production records of key ancestors, and the broader breeding patterns that have proven successful within specific lines. Whether you are breeding for dressage, show jumping, or eventing, we tailor our recommendations to your specific goals and your mare’s individual genetic profile.

Pedigree Evaluations for Potential Purchases of foals, riding horses, broodmares and stallions.

Horses are a significant investment, and understanding a horse’s genetic structure is essential to making a sound decision. Our intensive pedigree reports for broodmares will give you a clear picture of what a horse may bring to your breeding program, including the strengths it is likely to pass on, pedigree structure, and how it may complement your existing mares or stallion roster.

Whether you are evaluating a broodmare prospect, a young stallion, a foal, or an embryo from a particular combination, our reports provide the detailed genetic context you need to buy with more confidence.

Stallion Report

Stallion owners can choose an “Intensive Pedigree Report” for their stallion, which can be very useful for the stallion owner themselves in deciding which of their mares to put to which stallion, or which mares to buy for their stallion, as well as being able to advise clients on which stallion is best for their mares.
Mare owners will also get more information about the stallion in this way.
