What on earth makes TB so special? You can find those qualities in any breed. Only you have latched onto the TB as the sole source of excellence.

Why do you find that funny? That is the perfect recipe for success in any discipline. Athletic superiority, elegance, excellent type, substance, etc., and that comes from race blood. There are performers by Impressive, too, but the attention has always been on the halter side of it. If I'm not mistaken, he sired over 20 AQHA Champions, 3 race winners, and around 180 performance point earners. Performance with class.

The cowhorse people hate halter horses, Impressive, TBs, you name it, and they can't see past that and open up their minds to what it will take to fix the things that have gone wrong

And you can site statistics on his get, but you must also take into account the high number of champions who had impressive 2 or more generations back. He made a profound mark on AQHA and like him or not, he produced great horses.
