I would consider this anotherway. The old mare you're talking about just showed that she is a good producer. Some breeders would sell that mare because their is money laying their and because they...

First of, congratulations to A Fine Romance owners for the good reference!

Going back to the article, I find it interesting but it reflects something that tends to botter me a lot in what is often...

Are you realy asking? I agree with those above that said that we do not necessarly import the best of europeens stallions. However, it is clear that most of the best producers in America were...

Exactly!!! Now we are somewhere else.

It might be sad for some, but we should learn from those who got ahead of us and get back on top instead of trying to bring everyone down to a level at wich...

Their is one only truth, a horse worth as much as what someone is willing to pay for him. I found that the most exepnsive a horse is, the more variation you will find in prices.

I remember a...

I see nothing wrong with well thought off and educated linebreeding. Of course it might be a risky business when you don't know your lines but it has done great things in the past in sport and in...

Hi, As I Have said a number of times in other posts, english is not my first language and I always try to write clearly and politly to be understood. I do my best for the mistakes.

As for facts,...

Come on, sometimes when you here a story and the whooooooole system seems to dumb......., it is because their is a part of the story missing.

Agreed, but again their is a "little" straight and Straight. Having assisted inspectors in different inspections, it i no rocket science. When it come to inspect a stallion, if their is a fault, the...

The fact that the article refers to totilas as a Thoroughbred and the following extracts that contradict themselves do not give much credibility to that article.



Keeping in mind that Rath's...

What about Ratina(not kwpn but ridden by Reijmaker)? Or Plot Blue (Swiss - German)!!!!

Those are the claims I don't understand, or show how people like market when it goes in one direction. Horses market is no different then any other market. You take your cost into account. You have...

In my view, from the get go, nobody could bring anything stating that it was done.

The whole discussion is about how it would not make sense because the use of those mares do not fit in the...

@Tiki: I totaly agree with what you say, but I would go even further. All that work do not necessary constitutes added value. The added value is the result. All efforts on a foal that lacks talent at...

@Fairview Horse Center: That is exactly what I was telling. Nobody asks you to subsidy anyones hoby. But don't ask them to pay higher then the market value for horses. They would then be subsidizing...

Did you keep fillies from that mare for breeding? Is this motherline still alive and doing well? You had a great individual wich, apparently, consitstently produced what you wanted. This line need to...

Yeah you're right, they should buy the German teams Thorourgh....wait no, they have none.....Then the French's th.....mmmmmmm......neither do they.....or the Belgium's.....



I'm not sure I get...

Their you have it. I know I never make any friends when it come to the recurent "Pricing issue", but a horse worth what people are willing to pay for it, not how much you invest in it. The horse...

@Rodawn; Of course I based my comment using the description of your mares without ever seeing them. I didn't want to imply that they were no good. I just took the first exemple to illustrate my point...

Two comments on this:

1) As Bayhawk saids, we will all be able to name exceptions to the rule. However, from my constations on the ground, the modern american thoroughbred population is not of...

I don't think they can't. In fact, they choose not to go. Most of the German young horses riders and trainers put all their efforts in bucha. Bucha are judged and not won over a jump off.

They do...

I only have broodmare right now and they are 24/7 outside. I feel realy good for them.

However, in my previous life in show and training barns, you rarely see horses going out an hour every day....

Anymore details about what you are looking for? Quinar is now in the USA. He is in my mind one of the major showjumping stallions in America at the moment. Not the biggest sport career but already a...

Long post!!! I believe the original question is "Would you keep a broodmare who is gorgeous, great pedigree but very complicated?" and not "Do you think my mare is difficult" or "How can I fix my...

By the way, not only did I mentionned it but I made one of the main point of my post about that horse:
