I hate to be a downer, but your way of thinking makes no sense.

A) Breeding a long backed horse to a short coupled horse does NOT mean you will get something in the middle. You can't pick pieces and parts.

B) You are seriously wanting to send a horse to the track that is by basically a no name sire with no runners..... at about $30 a day? That is just crazy.

C) Your mare is not broodmare material. She has too many conformational flaws. How long backed she is comes to mind.

D) A broodmare needs to produce better than she is. From the pictures you have posted, this mare does not produce better than she is.

E) If you want a foal, go out and rescue one or spend a little money and get a nice one that is bred to be a race horse (if that is what you are wanting to do).

Sorry if my bluntness hurts your feelings. But the horse market is horrible, horses are needing rescued now DAILY and yet people continue to breed mediocre horses for their own purposes. Most of them say, "Well I want part of my mare and I will NEVER sell the colt".... The harsh reality is that life can change in the blink of an eye and rarely can people hold on to something forever.

Getting off of my soapbox now.


I agree with TILII. And from the results of her foals, it appears her conformation type is dominate. And while she has some very nice looking line breeding in her pedigree, it is not sex balanced so their traits are not coming out as dominating in your mare.
