that sucks geek

anyway, War Emblem needs to carry a rainbow flag and join the parade's!

never liked his owner, so by default i never liked the horse (well, after he was purchased 3 weeks away from the derby). I guess it doesnt bother me that there will not be any baby emblems around.

Its to bad that he doesn't have any interest in covering mares. His first crop (4 foals) is 75% winners right now. And the 4th foal, has a record of 4 starts, 0 wins, 1 place, and 2 shows. He doesn't seem to be doing that bad as a sire. I think his second crop even has a winner or two already as well.

You didn't like Reinaman or you didn't like the middle east guy that bought him?

I cant remember but did they try to breed him hear first or did he go straight over there? Maybe someone can bring him back over here and try to get him to do his business.

he went right over there, and no luck with him. he covered a few mares, i think he has a total of about three dozen offspring--but not one mare covered this or last spring.

and the reason i mentioned the owners is that it seems quite often these days, owners (such as the lewises) have it put into a contract when they sell, that if the buyer decides to re-sell, they have right of first refusal. but since there ARE no previous owners, obviously that isn't an option.

Old Friends in KY has said before that they will try and get him if no one else was interested.

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....
