I have always wondered why horses are described this way....how is it possible that an offspring can be anything BUT a "direct" daughter or son or an "own" daughter or son?
LOL I crack up too when I see a foal out of a stallion....poor stallion, labor must've been heck.It doesn't bother me when people use that but I smile about this or that foal OUT of a particular stallion. I think foals are by the stallion and out of the mare. But maybe some stallions are more versatile than mine
I think that is exactly it. Trying to make it sound a bit more important.HAY! Maybe it just sounds more important or prestigious to certain people? To me it's still the sire or dam.......
I know this is why I've used it in the past as pointed out here. I'm trying to communicate to a potential buyer that my horse is really out of or by said horse and not just beleived to be a certain percentage of said horses blood. Did I explain that correctly?Some people will advertise a horse that is linebred and has 50% of his genetic makeup (supposedly or theoretically) from a certain horse, for example if a mare and stallion are bred together who are both by a certain stallion, some will say that such a foal is a "genetic son" of that stallion, or some other term. It is not a "direct" or "own" son, though. So other breeders sometimes want to make it clear that the horse they are advertising is an actual son of a certain horse, and not just a combination of linebreeding to make it almost-like-a-son. Clear as dirt?
