>>>> In my opinion, bloodlines don't mean anything if the horse isn't a good ride or a strongly gaited one. You can have a horse with perfect bloodlines and it not be any good in gait. Then breed that average, or less than average, mare to a good stud and get a so-so baby, then wonder why it wasn't as good as it's grandparents." She admonishes, "Strong gaited parents on both sides make strong gaited babies."
What a concept...breed good horses to good horses. One would THINK that would just be common sense, but sadly it's not always. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
