oh i dont have to go look thank you, i have seen it in person. a terrible agonizing death, a AQHA halter champion, purchased two years before when his brother by the same parents died of HYPP episode. I wanted to throttle the owner when she arrived and the first words out of her mouth as he lay thrashing were "if you dont die I swear I will never skip your medicine again!" I hate them freaking AQHA halter types. they disgust me to the core. they make big lick sorers look like mother theresa. in regard to breeding... one interesting thing... I saw a mule breeder on tv and he said when you breed a donkey and a horse you can absolutely be guranteed it will have the mule ears and cow hocks from the donkey. he said they may not be AS extreme in some cases but he said he doubts theres ever been a mule born without the signature ears and hocks. So thats a case where you breed a + B of two entirely different species and get the same thing every time. weird huh. ears and hocks must be BEYOND dominant. Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
