Well…they could use the same technique as they do for Totillas - Frozen and AI :D!

I really agree with this^^
I bred two Totilas foals and one Scandic this year. It would be difficult to say Toto didn’t ‘stamp’ my foals given they look almost identical Of course the mares were black too so it’s hard to say… They both have Toto’s neck and they seem way more laid-back then the Scandic foal as you can see in this video (sorry for those who aren’t on Facebook): The Toti foals look at me like I’m crazy when I try to get them to run around for the camera:

That video is hilarious! The foal that’s running around is clearly soo frustrated that the two Toto foals want to chill out instead of playing.
I too have a Totilas filly, just 4 months now. She does look very much like her KWPN Darwin/Ferro mom who is a lovely dressage mare, training 4th level/some PSG. The dam is small, just 15.3 with a more horizontal neck, more square than rectangular, but with nice reach in front and a quick hind end. I agree that our Totilas filly is also much like her dam, yet with even more power and incredible balance. Not terribly elegant, a bit of a thick neck especially at the head/neck connection. She is a bit shy, but loves attention, very easy to work with. Our very elegant and correct Ampere filly runs circles around her - literally all day long. If you looked out in the pasture you would find the Ampere much more appealing. But only time will tell. The Totilas filly is much more powerful and loves to stand on her hind legs but not going to win a beauty contest any time soon. Just plain fun to see them develop. I’ll check back in a couple of years! This is my first time posting, so will try and figure out how to add photos shortly.
