Wasnt talking down, but when people dont have their own money invested, its real easy to run off at the mouth.

Breeders dont just breed "beautiful" babies. If you're breeding for the ring, then yes, conformation and appeal are important, but dont tell me any breeder is going into a mating thinking "I want him to be pretty and slow". Its ridiculous.

Remember this, every day your mare is alive, her value is depreciating from the moment she gives birth unless her foals are proving themselves on the track.

The real monetary gain for most breeders is in the first few foals out of a mare, before she's been proven a producer or a bust.

Regardless, some interesting suggestions, and some just REAL left field with no hope of becoming reality... but to each their own and all opinions SHOULD be heard.
