So.... I have been recently enamored with the horsestudbook.com site because I just love to see all the pedigrees and see the pictures that are going on the registration papers of new horses. You can see all sorts of fun stuff, which I had never purchased the Stud Book access but now sort of wished I had.
Anyway, now that ASPC/AMHR requires pictures you can SEE the horses and what color they actually are and what they look like.
However, I have been a bit concerned because OBVIOUS dwarfs are being registered. Is this really an issue that should be debated seriously with the Registry?
I kind of find it odd that people would register their dwarfs because you are putting your farm's reputation on the line. There is a recently registered STALLION from a Big Farm... I am wondering why the farm would advertise they throw dwarfs out of their top stallion. Just seems somewhat odd to me.
On one hand, it is good to see what lines are throwing the dwarfs so that some people can avoid breeding to those lines or avoid horses out of those stallions/mares.
On the other hand, we are perpetuating the genetics to future generations.
I wish the Registry could register them and deny breeding rights to these horses. It's odd though that someone would spend the money to register them in the first place.
I don't want to post pictures of these dwarfs online here on this Forum, but they are pretty darn obvious to anyone.
