Why do you find that funny? That is the perfect recipe for success in any discipline. Athletic superiority, elegance, excellent type, substance, etc., and that comes from race blood. There are performers by Impressive, too, but the attention has always been on the halter side of it. If I'm not mistaken, he sired over 20 AQHA Champions, 3 race winners, and around 180 performance point earners. Performance with class.


OMG, are we gonna get into this bizarre topic again?

Impressive's racing offspring mean NOTHING, they were 3 and they only earned around $1600 total, my mare makes more than that just in penning jackpots.

And on his AQHA Champions, they're 24 out of 2250 foals, is not very hard for a halter horse to earn an AQHA Championship, all you have to do is getting them in a rail class. Zan Parr Bar sired almost as many AQHA Champs (22) out of 652 foals, and those foals could do way more than trot along the rail. He even sired the same amount of race starters and they made more than twice as much money.

Impressive was bred to run, and yet he was tried and rejected as a racer. His foals were halter horses, some of them could do rail classes, that's it. He's not a performance bloodline, and he can't even compare to rail stallion's achievements. All QHs have racing bloodlines somewhere but that doesn't make them racing horses.

I think it's quite delusional to keep going on about Impressive's quality as a performance bloodline.

And about Kid Clu's cow sense, it can't do much on slow learning horses with very little athletic ability.

Bottom line Impressive was a dud, a beautiful looking dud.
