No no, I wasn't being sarcastic at all...and I totally agree with you about Fleet Indian. I misread your post.

already booked to Storm Cat. I know it's a crap shoot anyway, but not the best choice imo....

Isn't this a case of them expecting two wrongs to make a right? A mare with a knee injury being bred to a stallion known for knees that are not so, how should we say this, um...good?

Are there any Storm Cat sons out there standing at stud that actually have decent knees?
