RE: [RC] your take on aladinn - Chastain, Shannon L.

I kinda liked how the Russians stole them and we (Americans) rescued them. Ed do you think nutrition is also a factor?

pretty good, barbara!  stolen,  "requisitioned", maybe,   then "imported"!   maybe that was the origin of that saying, "ride 'em like you stole 'em!
 
my take on "bloodlines",  yes, there are some "great ones"  that produce some "great ones", but then there are some rather obscure ones that produce "great ones", too.   then there are some very nondescript horses that turn out to be "great ones" too.   so much of it is the horse's individual ability,  the amount and type of conditioning,  the rider's ability and desire to attain certain goals with that particular horse.    no "magic" genetic formulas for guaranteed success in this sport.      cowboy (dont ride papers)  ed
