Yeah, you're right about the stud deals not being necessarily a good thing, but you never know exactly which cross is going to work. I will say that Arch is a lot better looking sire and a lot more correct in the conformation department than a horse like Teton Forest. If I was going to breed to TF, I would want a mare that was going to improve his hip (croup and hindquarter), and his column of bone a bit.
