>>> I know that every now and then a very rare and special horse comes along. And these are so few, most usually are the foundation horse of a whole new breed. So I guess it could happen that a sire produced something rare and special in each mare he bred. Like Alan F1 of the twh breed, it is said he passed on the running walk gait to every single offspring he sired.
Yes, like Impressive, Poco Bueno...and lots of other sires in other breeds. BUT, when you think about it, those horses usually had one, two or maybe a handful of traits that proved dominant and desirable. In the case of Alan F1, his trait was a gait that became the breed's signature gait...something very obvious. I don't think he fixed "all the mares' issues" though! Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
