You're entitled to your opinion - but I think you are way off of what is factual. A dud doesn't produce winners. And you can site statistics on his get, but you must also take into account the high number of champions who had impressive 2 or more generations back. He made a profound mark on AQHA and like him or not, he produced great horses.


From a racing and performance perspective (which is what people here are talking about) he was a dud, that is a fact, it's got nothing to do with whether I like him or not. And BTW, I do not blame him for what we are seeing in halter classes today, those freaks are completely man made. And I don't make a big deal for HYPP either, the QH world wouldn't be dealing with that disease while keeping Impressive's other traits a long time ago if breeders tried harder.
