Looking for large heart stud

Postby oleos93 » Tue Oct 25, 2011 6:22 pm

Looking for a stallion that is known to have the large heart or the gene for it.

Please respond with his name and where he stands. Needing for 2012.

Only one I know of for sure is Atticus. I'm sure that there are plenty more though!!

I think the owners are advertising Kitalpha as having a large heart.

He's a son of Miesque.

Before you go looking for something that doesn't exist (at least in terms of a gene), t think that you would be best reading this thread here...

I had one but he keeled over and died in his stall right after covering a mare. When we did the post mortem - he had a heart the size of a basketball. The vet was amazed he lived as long as he did.
