    I agree.

    It would be nice if the registries which require mandatory inspections for registration would reconsider their stance.

    Perhaps if Z is successful, it will be a wake up call to these...

    Sounds like the AWS philosophy too, it's right on the first page of their website. Sounds like the philosophy of any good breeder.



    Are you sure about this? Both American Warmblood...

    Well that's a double standard if I ever heard one. You plan to go thru each registration personally to see if you like the bloodlines before accepting the horse, but one of the founders of Z can...
  5. The fallout of the bad economy, and breeding choices

    There has been a lot of talk on here and in real life, about how the economy is effecting people's choices regarding breeding. It seems like the high end breeders are not concerned (the $10K+...

    I also can't help but wonder, if people believe in non traditional crosses, great, but why the desire to label them warmbloods or Warmbloods? Why warmblood/Warmblood, and not Morgan cross, QH cross,...

    Freedom- yes, I think it would be interesting too. There are a lot of them! I started with the first 20.

    Of the first 20 Approved stallions, half of them are Elite.

    You could also say "what a waste to muddy the waters of a Warmblood breeding program with American breeds". ;)

    I'm all for American Warmbloods, but I'm not in favor of using QH, Paint, Morgan, or...

    Down Yonder: There's Warmblood with a W (traditional Warmbloods) and warmbloods with a w (crosses of hot/cold, etc.) ;)

    Interesting then- it looks as if people are divided between American Warmblood = traditional Warmbloods but bred in the USA, versus American Warmblood = warmblood or sporthorse type blend utilizing...

    Let's see if I'm understanding this, it's been a long thread-

    At one point, people imply American Warmbloods are crap because they're Heinz 57's or because they might have QH, Paint, or Morgan...

    What's to 'figure out'? :confused: What's wrong with following the European model? It does sound a bit like you're wanting to reinvent the wheel, or to use the prior metaphor, trying to make apple...

    My stallions only sire nasty foals, they bite, they kick, they've been known to eat small children and the occasional pet.

    I'd thought about starting a thread about it, but it wouldn't be very...

    Yeah, exactly.

    My reading comprehension is actually pretty good, thanks.

    Wait a minute, back up the bus.

    You are saying, you make your own rules and arbitrarily disqualify members from USDF All-Breeds Awards? Who polices this? What qualifications would...

    I also do not do Rabies on pregnant mares, although I don't know "why", other than it's at my vets recommendation. I'll be curious to hear how others weigh in on this.

    Ditto that. I can't imagine any sane person wanting to sell them a horse now.

    What a wise and thoughtful group of people.

    Unfortunately, it is probably the people who still can't sell their 2006's and 2007's who will rush out to rebreed anyhow, without hesitation.

    I...

    I'm disgusted. I don't think she a clever marketer, I think she's delusional and/or dishonest.
