>>>> Why is he popular? V I'm not sure. I'm not into the show stuff, and I know he was shown a lot. I read my horse's pedigrees but I've never bought one for it. I read the pedigrees mainly to be sure I don't inbreed...assuming of course, that the pedigrees were never "doctored" anywhere along the way. I bought Runa because she was a biggish mare with natural gait, and I wanted another young one to bring along. The way I look at it is that I may have a few traits from each of my grandparents, but basically, I'm not that much like any one of them. The fact that Orri is Runa's grandsire is just an interesting tidbit to me, but not much more.
I DO think it's interesting that she's your Orri's cousin though. Maybe we'll see some similarities in them as they progress...or maybe we won't. It will be fun comparing though. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
