Again, the horse is representative of a cross by people venturing outside of the box. Nothing wrong with that, and if the horse doesn't suit your needs, it's no big deal. He's a step in the right direction, being from a typical halter horse mare, and sired by a Breeders Cup-winning, high class TB stallion. Nothing wrong with that at all.


So is being an appendix horse his main quality? just what I thought.

How can you judge a yearling??? I think it would be wise to see what he looks like as a mature horse before making any assumptions.


Well, he looks quite flawed for a horse that's supposed to be "the perfect outcross". And they're already collecting semen, shouldn't they wait until he grows up to decide if he's breeding material? or is being half TB enough reason to breed the hell out of him?

What troubles me the most is people talking about him pointing to the right direction. Can someone please explain me what that right direction is? Because he has the same bad traits most halter horses have and I really doubt that'll change as he matures. Will his back get normal? will his pasterns suddenly develop correct angles? will he suddenly become a heavier boned horse? I don't think so.

BTW, how tall is he? by the pictures, comparing him to the people standing next to him, he seems like 16 hands. A 16 hand yearling??? is a 17 hand horse the right direction for a stock horse???

To me the right direction would be producing halter horses that can do what stock horses are supposed to do instead of just stand there. DeRenzo won't be able to do what stock horses do, just like the other steroid freaks.

So why is he the right direction?

Because half his pedigree is TB?
