[RC] Breeding - Mike LewisI recently purchased a pretty nice mare who has a good racing and endurance background. I would like to breed her eventually to a stallion in hopes of producing a world class result. I'm new to horse breeding and would like to know folks' thoughts about how to select a stallion to produce my desired result. The mare has completed the AERC national championship qualifying ride, Biltmore Challenge, and another tough ride (can't recall the name, but it is a SE endurance ride and goes STRAIGHT UP and STRAIGHT DOWN.) She's won a 25 and either a 50 or 100... will have to look up her records to refresh my memory. My thought is that I need to breed for disposition first, then soundness, then for heart/lungs and athleticism. I appreciate any thoughts.
