See N Spots, I think it's great what you do with your horse, I'd never have anything against it. My point is that WP or the other rail classes can't measure if a horse has the typical abilities that have defined QHs for decades. Other than a good mind, which I'm sure good WP horses gotta have, how can you tell if your horse has the rest of those qualities. If you are attending a WP show, can you tell which horses are quick? how many of them can "turn on a dime" pretty fast? can you tell which horses can stop harder from a full speed gallop?

I understand WP horses have become specialized and that they are better at it than any other horse, but their specialty doesn't allow people to be certain about their potential for having many qualities that have been required from Quarter Horses since their birth. And that's why I said I don't care about many AQHA Championships, because they don't say much about the horses. That's why I can't have any faith on Impressive passing great athletic genes to his descendants, because those horses weren't tested on more physically demanding disciplines.
