Thanks for the stats slv- that is interesting. I merely voiced my PERSONAL OPINION here, not to inflame anyone, insult anyone's horses, etc... it was only that - MY opinion and worth what it cost or what someone wants to put into it - nothing. My point was, not to purchase a horse on a pedigree alone, but to look at many other factors as well and consider many things.
Any and all horses can produce 'dogs', as well as outstanding individuals.
Again, I feel I am entitled to my own personal opinions.
Thanks-
P.S. Horse feathers- I think your new colt is awesome and outstanding and I would certainly be excited about him too!
