Re: [RC] Breeding your mare...sheesh guys - Kathy MayedaMy friend's husband rides a Kiger. He finished LD without missing a beat - calm, cool, steady pace, but he just putted uphill most of the time, probably more due to lack of conditioning yet than anything else. She herself has a little mustang. They both show a lot of Spanish influence in their conformation and the way they move. Read: almost gaited.... I think that the right mustang would be fun to breed to if I were to cross outside the breed. Kigers are absolutely beautiful! Love them stripes.
I do myself have dreams of breeding my mare, who's already produced some really nice purebred Arab fillies. But it will be when I'm in a position to keep them in a forever home, too. Certainly wouldn't be breeding to sell.

The arab was CMK/Polish lines, just what I was looking for, pretty well built, nice legs/shoulder/back and movement. The Kiger mustang was actually shown in multiple diciplines (Kiger Sundance) has a wonderful personality, has the more smooth muscling that I wanted vs some of the beefier, drafty types or the ass/onager slab sided type. So far, my yearling+ has dad's thicker skin, not as sensitive, not as jumpy as the arabs, he's sweet, has AWESOME legs and feet, great hip/shoulder, neck could be a bit longer, but that's the mustang I'm thinking!
