we used to have breeders that would go overseas to find top stock that would fit here, improve the breed and freshen it-can't help but wonder if that would help us out a bit. and who would be willing to do that?
also, i believe most of the north american horses trace back to only one of those foundation sires-i wonder if the aussies/euros trace back to another, or an influence of all three?
