I have to agree with Charlotte, Sue and Becky on this one as far as the number of quality stallions being way over the 20 number you mentioned. Here in Texas alone I know of 27 that have produced World & National caliber get that I would consider to be really top 10% quality stallions.
Then you add in the all the others spread out over the country and the number grows substantially. Here at our farm we have 13 of those stallions represented by more than one individual in the breeding pens.
Back to the question though, in my opinion we (AMHA & AMHR) are still n the stage of being a height registry. Particularly when an AMHA/AMHR bred to another AMHA/AMHR horse does not produce a respective registrable baby. You can't have it both ways in my eyes. Either they produce a baby that is maybe not eligible for the show ring, but still can be registered. Or we add in things such as height and still are a height registry.
Just my thought s on the subject anyway. By the way can I have a cup of coffee also on that front porch, it would be a lot of fun to have this discussion in person with everyone. LOL
