I don't think it is necessarily big egos. It is an interest in breeding and adding to the gene pool for a better next generation. Stallions have to come from somewhere...

Fred, I honestly think it...

Start with the pedigree, then performance/breeding value (offspring success) then the conformation or picture or visit. And if you are in the middle of nowhere, pick a great stallion owner also. They...

I can't tell based on a picture either. You see the pic and the stallion in person and while there is a correlation, I wouldn't have got the whole picture.
The pedigree first, then the...

From what is in my area (and many others) you most rotate between Ivermectin and Panacur. Panacur kills ascarids (big problem in foals) and...

I second this. He is a real gentleman, too. Lorrie was really helpful and honest about about her stallions. I would ask her as I seem to remember that one of the smaller stallion actually threw...

I am very sorry for your loss. And think it was very cool of you to put this in a thread to help others.
I had issues with my little guy at three months, so I did a fecal and found tons of small...

He is not my stallion and I have never seen him in person. I was just pointing out that the cross is common and that those lines can be found for breeding in other horses that are approved, even in...

I think I can see some of the flaws. :lol::lol:

I tend to agree with you about the original numbers and the decision to make it public. I also bet that many people did not really think alot of this horse (130 foals) to start with and are not...

Write them and ask, I did and now I have an answer from the horse owner's mouth.
They were very nice about it.
No one really has to speculate about it at all.
I figured if I can bother to post...

Just a suggestion but Fugly really might be able to help. I would really hate this to happen to more animals. If she said embolism she must have had a vet to say this, if not she is suspect. You get...

Why don't you press charges? Your mare died under their care, did a vet see her? If everyone in the area knows you have lots witnesses.
Not that I agree with everything she says but Fugly is very...

I am very sorry. I think it is good that you are posting this.
One of the best things I read is to check on them personally. Whether they are at a vets or a boarding stables until you know how...

I wrote and asked. I think it would be wrong to post the letter but the gist of it was that not enough of the babies are up to the standard they were looking for, they did state some were very nice....

I have a 3/4 relative really close to me.

Funny, I just spent a couple of hours this afternoon spreading manure on their trail. I also find ashes works well if you have a wood burning fire place. Gypsum works too (and is good for the soil if...

I really think your mare is nice!
I am sure some Holsteiner breeders will help out.

I personally have less faith in the public choice concerning horses. Many of them are very young or have not been around horses very long. They are basing their decisions on visibility. I share...

Kareen,
I think it is an interesting idea that economics characterize the breeding process and therefore the horses we will see. It used to be the horse market had consumers that used the animals...

You did ask for a pun.


By the way Eastern Ruler lives 45 minuets away, he is a handsome boy in person.

Throw another older horse in with them both.
Be patient with your filly, all young horses have issues. If you don't want to deal with issues, get an older horse. Not being mean just honest. She is...

"30 to 50 fillies that have a stigma attached to them in the case they were going to be used for brood mares. "

Your right, I should have said - may have a stigma. I was actually trying to point...

I agree with limiting the number of foals first year to a reasonable amount. 50? Also if they release more detail, it could help people make decisions for buying.
I hope I didn't imply that they...

I have seen some serious ugly broodmares that produce great horses (jumpers). Is it true that broodmares are just judged on their conformation? Because I hear time and again that people rely on the...

Ok from a buyers point of view. Would you want to spend money on one of these fillies without the above knowlege? As in make her a part of your breeding program? How would you feel finding out later...
