This statement certainly lends credence to the notion that the mare may play 
a much more significant role in the making of temperament (SURPRISE!), 
whether it be due to nature or nurture. In addition, it casts a shadow on the 
quality of management of those who ARE obnoxious snots (I have only met 3 of 
his get and ALL were obnoxious snots who would NEVER live in our tent), and 
leaves one to wonder how much of it is inante and how much is created. I 
personally won't guess or gamble, choosing rather to both buy and breed 
horses of excellent deportment and tmperament. I wouldn't want to be laden 
with pulls and DNFs because I own a bad actor - or actress - and personally 
will always choose a perhaps lesser 'athlete' in favor of a good athlete with 
exceptional disposition. Works with people as well! I don't know Kharaty - I 
only have met some of his get. By the same token, I DID meet Simeon Shai as 
well as half a dozen of his many, MANY get - and Shai as well as nearly all 
of his get (sucklings to 2 year olds) were snappish, ear-pinning snots. 
YIKES! In any case, a line that becomes notorious for disposition problems of 
any kind shouldn't be blithely propagated. Attention shoudl be paid to what 
is being poduced. Could be the management - or lack therof - which is a whle 
OTHER problem - innept ownership!

DON'T KNOW WHY RMs CONTINUED TO ALLOW SUCH AN UNRULY STALLION AT THEIR
RIDES.  THIS GOES FOR HIS SONS ALSO.  WAS ANYONE AT THE RIDE WHERE AMADEUS
