That was brought up several times. Also, the QH sire Impressive, HYPP, and how stock has to be tested for that now.

I dont follow it that much anymore but I recall seeing NY Sire stakes races with 6 or 7 of the horses by the same sire.

If I were a mare I would prefer AI to a bunch of men trying to rape me in my stall. Where do breeding "accidents" rank in cause of death?

i don't recall ever seeing a mare getting killed in a breeding accident, but several sires have been injured. a few years back a stallion injured his withers after falling over-he had to be euthanized.

He's English

I think the only chance for TB AI rests in somebody being able to show how it would be fantastically financially beneficial to the majority.





The silence is deafening ....

I think it is much more common than once every few years.
