I would think someone would want to try and breed him. I think its worth the effort atleast.

i just wonder what the deal is. libido issue? or maybe a physical issue--i wonder if he's having pain somewhere when he tries to cover, so he won't try any more.

i know other horses have had issues at first, but his have dragged on for years now. slew was a timid breeder at first.

i think war emblem would be worth working with, if you can find the root cause....

He likes other male horses

Prince Ahmed bin Salman bought War Emblem from the Reinman (sp?)
anyway... He died via a CIA induced heart attack at 40 something I think


War Emblem may just need different stimuli
or maybe he just likes to get to know her first

Maybe he needs to be wined and dined first!

This is the horse responsible for getting me hooked on this sport. I do hope things turn out well for him.

Initially, he would cover some mares and totally reject others, without rhyme or reason; no pattern could be detected in which he would mate with and which he would reject - not color, not markings, not experience (maiden mares vs veterans). He just liked some mares and didn't like others. That's why he has some foals on the ground.

he won't get with any mare, only 10's or better!

well, no wonder war emblem gave them a hard time! this is outrageous, to cover that many mares in a season!

[zippyneedsawin]

maybe they should get War Emblem a little drunk before he covers mares.. I know the ole' beer goggles have helped lots of people get a little.

A stallion has to 'stop' his mares on the first cover every time is he is going to get such a huge number of them in foal. That means the vets have to be exactly right about whether the mare has a follicle that is ready or not as well as the stallion being extremely fertile. And it becomes grueling work, having to cover mares 3 or4 times a day. If he won't be shuttling (and I doubt the Japanese will ever let him out of the country), then he may have time to recover his strength for next year.

This was George Washington's problem, by the way. Coolmore has the philosophy that he's got to stop them the first cover so they can rake in the big bucks (more fees for more mares). But GW was not co-operating; he got some in foal on the first cover but would probably need a second or third for the rest. Back when 40-foal crops were the norm, the farm could do that and still get the fee, but these days they demand volume.

Golly, if I was a Buddhist, I'd know what I'd like to be reincarnated as.
And, if I ever stumbled into a pharmacy, how do you say "Super size that viagra" in horse-speak?

yeah, i kept up with the stories--seems he would go with a few, so they'd bring them in, get him riled up and then throw in a sub. but there's got to be something else going on there.
