It's not BS when I cannot find a QH stallion with the qualities I require for my breeding program. They're all so specialized that they've lost what the QH was to begin with.

Maybe, just maybe, you never liked QHs to begin with? If it is so hard to find what you like in the largest breed, maybe you are looking in the wrong breed. If I wanted a Friesian, I wouldn't go to Arabian breeders. I think if you took a good hard look at yourself you'd probably end up with a nice OTTB.


True experts in their field are rarely understood by laymen, and are criticized by those who simply do not understand. Through their hard work, study and dedication to their field, they have moved well beyond the scope of those who have not invested equal time.
