| I'm not 100% of how this works so am asking: I have 2 colts by same sire. They have the same granddam. Would they be considered 3/4 brothers? 7/8 brothers? I don't know how that works. Here are their pedigrees. Thanks very much!!

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | In order to be 7/8, you would go back one more generation. There are 8 horses in that generation. If 7 of those 8 horses are the same, they are 7/8 siblings. $ay your boys were mares, and you bred them to the same stallion, THOSE babies would be 7/8 siblings. |

Location: Kentucky | Not to steal this thread, but I hear people say that they have horses that are 1/2 siblings - by the same stallion but out of different mares. However, I heard that in some industries, that is not correct. Which is right? |

Half siblings are out of the same mare. If they have the same sire they are just considered by the same sire even though genetically they are 50-50. It is just terminology, I think this was started back in the olden days when a mare only had one foal but a stallion could have many. Times have changed in the QH industry but it still holds true in the TB industry. |

That's what I always went by also. I don't think it's quite "fair" to consider horses 1/2 siblings from a stud who can have 100 colts a year, to one for a mare. |

Me too!!! It's such a little thing but it just gets me irritated. Seriously , think about what you just said. How can a baby "come out" of a stud horse... it just doesn't happen. |
