As for the breeding...In my experience (as someone that has posted a mare for breeding...) if the horse is worthy of breeding, most members of this board will first caution about the economy, then move on to suggesting quality studs that are compatible with the mare. You will get people that don't feel the mare should be bred, but that is way God made free choice, you make your own decision and there really isn't anything that anyone on this board is going to be able to do to stop you. Stallions of course are held to a higher standard, but I feel that is the way that it should be.
It only turns into drawn out bitch fests when the OP either has a horse with something that should prohibit that mare from breeding (long weak pasterns) or a self admitted attitude problem, and then the OP defends the mare and feels fluffy is a grand prix jumper and just won't drop it, you just don't KNOW her the way she does...and then this board will get aggravated with her stupidity and try, albeit sometimes a tad harsh, to convince her to change her mind and not create a foal that will be headed to slaughter, which that IS the purpose of this board.
When it is a reputable member that is breeding quality foals, the majority of the time this board is behind that member, although occasionally that can go wrong, usually depending on who responds, and even mares that would produce quality offspring are slammed (thinking pntreiner...I love her mare) but the majority of the time it is worked out in the end.

Anyway, I try to stay out of the personal infighting. I only have a couple of people on here that I don't like, and those are people that can't drop something and move on and continue to beat something to death...without humor, and believe it or not, PDJ isn't one of those...I feel there is enough humor in most of his posts that make it amusing. If someone says something that you don't like...guess what! its the INTERNET!!! WHO CARES! just walk away and no one will get hurt...although it will make it a tad less boring/interesting for the rest of us image

Now, nobody probably care about my opinion(s), since I am not one of the well known members and it probably doesn't matter to people one way or another...but there is my 2 cents image

Her mare is cute. I can't remember what it is now, but she did say some conformational fault with the mare that affected her movement. Or something. She never did post a confo shot though.
