Now I do not know much about breeding, but what could cause War Emblem to be so reluctant to cover mares? Could it be that process is painful for him, etc etc. Please advise.

Simply very picky. He knows what kind of woman he's looking for. Hasn't found it yet.

Man, In my younger years I wasnt picky at all. I guess War Emblem has a little more maturity than me.

Maybe he just doesn't like Japanese women...

That was freaking hilarious.

HEE HEE. War Emblem just wants some american mares...


Just kidding around guys!

he certainly is an unusual case. I've known some stallions with low libido (when i lived in KY we used to dread taking mares to Thunder Gulch cause you were gonna be there a while) and i've heard of some fussy stallions (there is one stallion in KY right now that only likes grey mares, so they do a bait and switch on him in the shed) but Zero interest is a new one.
Wonder if they've tried viagra, whatever dose Rush Limbaugh takes should be enough for a thousand pound horse lol...

Well, let's hope they don't do to him what they did to Ferdinand.

I don't think that's going to happen to any more high profile horses that the japanese bought from the US. too much bad press. but don't think for a second that it's not happening to all the other horses over there that aren't a success (here too for that matter).

Trust me, I'm aware. It's a disgrace IMO.

I know Silver Charm has a buyback clause, Three Chimneys has first rights if they ever want to get rid of them. Ferdinand at least didn't die in vain, a lot of things have changed since that tragedy.

Dr F*ager--please explain a buy back clause for me.

Yeah, but the horses that aren't high profile still die in vain. You are correct though... with horses like War Emblem and Silver Charm, they should be safe.
