    I had a fairly long thread last spring/summer about the same question. It deteriorated into some tangential pelham issues. Dunno if it's still around to search for. Search locks me up here at home...

    This is, I think, one of the pitfalls of the wonder of modern breeding--AI & Frozen.

    I absolutely agree with this. For some reason stallions in particular seem to be very, very clear about justice.
