Study Alra Blue Radiance's pedigree. Note the various bloodlines that run throughout its genetic history, for both the stallion and the mare.
Research the theories of major equine breeders, including Federico Tesio and William Hall Walker. Their methodologies are among the most authoritative in all of animal husbandry; they can also shed light on how to successfully incorporate an ancestor, such as Alra Blue Radiance, into a pedigree.
Understand linebreeding. This is a mild form of inbreeding which amasses a sizable percentage of one particular animal's genes from generation to generation.
Conduct a thorough pedigree analysis of a potential mare to be bred. Research all the way back through 10 generations of ancestors. The ideal mare will feature Alra Blue Radiance in its pedigree, or several of Radiance's relatives, no further back than the fourth generation.
Locate a stallion which shares indirect ancestry with your mare. Such genetic relationships should not be extremely close; that is, the stallion and mare should not be son and mother, or father and daughter. Cousins, aunts/uncles and nieces/nephews, and grandparents and grandchildren are examples of acceptable linebreeding combinations.
Ensure this stallion also has Alra Blue Radiance in its pedigree, ideally no further back than in the third generation.
Print out the pedigrees of both ponies to compare them. If possible, print, cut out, and paste pictures next to each pony in the pedigree. This will help you to visually see and determine if Alra Blue Radiance is sufficiently referenced in the potential pedigree of a future pony.
Clear both ponies for breeding with a qualified veterinarian before staging a mating between the animals.
How to Breed Alra Blue Radiance

Cloning the pony, or repeating its original breeding, may be impossible. But pony enthusiasts may utilize recognized husbandry techniques to hereditarily reference Blue Radiance. Only extremely well seasoned Welsh pony owners should attempt to breed these animals. A veterinarian that has initimate knowledge of the process should approve all ponies that may be bred.
