Re: [RC] To breed a "no name" horse - Kristene SmutsFar too many horses of all ages being bred today are being bred because they have a "famous name" in the pedigree--one where the fame has been bought by a well-padded training, showing, and advertising budget, not by any particular merit. Unfortunately, that sort of fame is not genetic, and is not passed on to foals...Heidi>> Change of subject, if I may ......... Let's say you have a good stallion, conformationally, temperament etc., although he has cosmetic imperfections and therefore he doesn't go to shows or doesn't have a "big name" pedigree. However, he breeds good foals from various mares. How would you market him as a breeding prospect? (He has to pay back all that hay he eats, ya know ;-)) ) Just a "slightly" hypothetical question ;-)) Kristene South Africa ===========================================================If you treat an Arab like a Thoroughbred, it will behave like a Quarter horse. ~ Libby Llop ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
