How often do you see teams with say mare and daughter, or stallion and son? Or siblings for the team?

The mules that were a team at are farm were full sisters. Sassy and Lass. It was that way until Lass died due to a horrible accident.
I have heard of sisters and brothers but not of mother and kid nor father and kid.

That's so sad about Lass  I've seen lots of teams that were sisters, or advertised as full brothers, full sisters, or full brother(gelding)/sister. I think they're aiming to get the team as evenly matched heightwise as possible. Just wondered if anyone had ever bothered to put mare and kid, or stallion and kid to the same hitch.  |

I know of a pair of Morgan brothers who won the harness class at HOYS twice, I've not heard of a stallion & son - would that be possible (or wise?).

Although they have never been driven together, Mollys dad, (Village Chieftain) Mum (Carly) full brother Wolsey Nice Guy, and Molly, are all broken to drive. It would have been nice to see them all as a team!!
Still, there is always a chance we can have Molly and Folly driving as a pair, isn't there!!

 That would be exciting to see Folly and Molly as a team!! Molly could show her little sister the ropes  As for the stallion/son teams...don't the Spanish Riding Horses have stallions and sons on the same teams? Surely some of the older studs would still be showing as their sons are brought into work with them?
