Tell It Like It Is wrote: I hate to be a downer, but your way of thinking makes no sense. A) Breeding a long backed horse to a short coupled horse does NOT mean you will get something in the middle. You can't pick pieces and parts. B) You are seriously wanting to send a horse to the track that is by basically a no name sire with no runners..... at about $30 a day? That is just crazy. C) Your mare is not broodmare material. She has too many conformational flaws. How long backed she is comes to mind. D) A broodmare needs to produce better than she is. From the pictures you have posted, this mare does not produce better than she is. E) If you want a foal, go out and rescue one or spend a little money and get a nice one that is bred to be a race horse (if that is what you are wanting to do). Sorry if my bluntness hurts your feelings. But the horse market is horrible, horses are needing rescued now DAILY and yet people continue to breed mediocre horses for their own purposes. Most of them say, "Well I want part of my mare and I will NEVER sell the colt".... The harsh reality is that life can change in the blink of an eye and rarely can people hold on to something forever. Getting off of my soapbox now.

Boys are like purses. You're always going to have that one boy that you're always comfortable with and you'll always kind of like, right? That's your purse that you wear everywhere. Then you have that gorgeous bag you want everyone to see you with. But the gorgeous bag is usually an asshole...or costs a lot of money. Then you have like those other purses that you really like but don't really want to be seen with. -- Lauren Conrad, Laguna Beach

I'm probably going to hold off breeding for a few more years, but I may also end up breeding my grade mare if she proves to be a great barrel horse. She CAN be registered PtHA, but a color registry = joke to most, but she is pending registration. I think I need to call someone in Oklahoma and get a name of a certain stud out of his lying lips.

So they were VERY small races. She had one 1st and one 7th out of two outs. She won $1,791.... but her speed index was 66. I must admit, I have never heard of a stakes winner with a speed index of 66.... but then again, the money she won for winning a stakes race isn't very impressive either. So your mare doesn't even have a ROM... but she is a stakes winner... go figure? None of her colts have done anything as far as APHA records go.

Also could have been a newly built track, as they will have very low SI's at first. I think it's based on the speed of the first horse to run & win on that track somehow. That's why a horse with 100 SI may not hardly run an 80 Si on another track even though it's going the same speed as it did on another track. I've also always heard race trainers always say, you couldn't go by their SI as to how fast they are, as whether they won the race was what counted. Plus the race competition for paints isn't as demanding as in the race QH world, especially back then. So for that time, that SI may have been pretty good for a paint & that amount of money in that day & time also may have been pretty good for a small stakes race. After all, our dollar was worth lots more back then...lol...
