LOVE IT!!
Love Key to the Mint lines so much, My stallions lines run to him on the bottom side. Key to the Mint is his Great Grandfather.
I look for these lines when buying brood mares but it seems so many breeders have swung away from these great old lines. I really try hard to keep them in my breeding program and usually have to buy older mares to get what I like.
