Personally, I think the real key to success is in making choices combining pedigree AND phenotype. I dont believe one should take presidence over the other per say. One is left with something to be desired when one side is lacking. It really takes both with any consistancy to produce winners and marketable horses.


I agree with this. The way I look at it is, I look at phenotype first and usually the pedigree will back up the phenotype.
