I dunno, the actual spots on 270 looks quite possibly like a copper deficiency. Get some copper in that horse & those spots just might disappear. As for the rest of the colouring, that may or may not be adjusted by proper copper levels. Jorge, I had posted one with possible light roaning on the ...

I have hands on experience with a handful of Real Quiet's prepping for 2 yo in training sales. The fillies had a rep for being buggers. Were they nice looking? Yes. Were they stellar? Not by a long shot. Never said I hate RQ, simply stated the facts that the numbers simply are not there for him. As ...

Regarding the crack going across the hoof. Sounds to me like the horse probably injured the soft tissue at the very top of the hoof, perhaps on a fence board, & it is simply now growing out. My personal riding horse has a good 2" ding like that about half way grown out of his hind left hoof. Fig...

I'm not Louis, though... I have at times feed my animals & taken bee pollen myself. My major concern is of actually knowing where your bee pollen comes from. If the plants the bees are feeding from are heavily chemical laden/sprayed, well, that is being passed directly to you/your horses. Not li...

Earl Pierpont

I HIGHLY recommend Earl Pierpont, in Reddick/Ocala. Never once have I ever seen/heard anyone in his barn lose their temper with a horse. His grooms are his adult sons, so they are trained to handled a horse exactly as Earl himself does. He has fanstatic exercise riders-which is 90% of the training ...

Thus is your opinion. I certainly do NOT like the thought of any horse having to inhale polytrack pieces whilst flying down the track! *YIKES*

Well gosh, quite obviously my attempt at humour failed miserably; even with the blatant use of all those emoticons. *oh well*

Thanks, though I am aware of this colt. Francine always works the crowd, whether it be the sales or Publix (grocery store). :wink:

It's that Boldnesian connection...

Nah, you got it all wrong, it is the Boldneisan connection that makes them so valuable... :P After all, they saw this unraced 3 year old at $250k :shock: http://www.starquine.com/mare_detail_new_auction_new.asp?id=5062 They figured if he was worth that, then since their mare has Boldnesian too, well...
