good info Madelyn. I'm not as experienced in the QH/TB field much beyond seeing a couple of races and seeing the pedigrees of a lot of the stock at farms like GumZ Farm. I used to field a few calls at the stud farm from QH, paint, and Arab breeders about what type of stud horses we had on the farm. ...

well then.. :shock:

I have only seen QH's bred to other QH mares with a touch of TB in their pedigree to create more of a fancy hunt horse, but Joe Nevills of the TB Times has a lot more knowledge about this and would be able to answer your questions about QH/TB breeding for race.

No I won't say you hide. Because bottom feeders will always be at the lowest ranks possible. You can do or say whatever you want and fill your responses with more excuses. I don't buy any of them. You made an example of your poor judgement by going to get a colt (Carpe Demon) who IF he was in such p...

Go re-read your post. You specified prior to 1993 you had shipped horses. I said "in danger" because they SHOULD NOT BE RETURNED TO THE TRACK in the first place. You buy horses off of CANTER, lay they up while "retraining them" and then bring them back to low level races where they have no chance.. ...

What kind of person openly admits to running horses under someone elses name? Why? What are you trying to hide from? So is your training career taking previously retired horses, laying them up for multiple years, re training them for riding and then bringing them back to race once? Because you seem ...

well, they should let you know but they won't.. And Freudian laws says the moment an under rated stallion moves he will have his best racing year ever.. i.e. Empire Maker.. It depends on the farm and mare support he got before he leaves.. If it was a regional stallion who got 10 or less mares each y...

I love how now FBs suffer from feminine appearance, weak immune systems and now Self Esteem issues..

Chicken-hearted-ness is a known TB issue.. But I'm not even going to bother why this is all crap and this whole book is junk.

where else have you advertised your mare? You should have been able to find someone right now. Is she a good mare to work with? Maybe retrainable for a riding horse?

Having worked with this mare personally and also having the means to figure out how to work equibase/brisnet. I know for a fact this mare and most of her offspring were a mess. All of her offspring have been Finger Lake/Suffolk Downs horses at best. I would not blame the cross of Andromeda's Hero x ...
