The registries allow for the genetic defects to persist through decades of breeding...yes, these horses are money-makers, but they are defective "products." (HYPP N/Y and all the other stuff).

I would not buy a quarterhorse.

Were the registries to let only the non-carriers of genetic defects be registered, a lot of the russian-roulette breeding would go away. Money-makers are registered.

I really do not understand...for the integrity of the breed? For the integrity of the money clip.
