You could easily substitute "show" for "family".


Of course you could. It's just that I, personally, haven't seen as many "show" barns that bother going to shows with absolute crap.

I haven't fixated on FQH, really, but the thread is about them so that's what I used in my examples. You can bet your butt that there are loads of crummy Arabian breeders too, and TB breeders...any popular breed is going to attract the good and the bad.

If you missed the fact that everyone here advocates quality breeding in general, INCLUDING me, then you can't read. That the ONLY thing I advocate.

It just makes me extra mad when people try to sell crummy horses as "family" horses, because those are the horses that need to be of very HIGH quality...last through all the kids, be eminently trainable and patient, etc.
