Quote:Yes, but Zan Parr Bar was a much more accomplished horse both, as an individual and as a sire, than any horse bred by Hank Weiscamp so I think I'd forgive his back and any other flaw he had.

Quote:What happens to the ugly one bred to perform but can't?
Quote:I just don't believe it is necessary to sacrifice eye appeal for working ability. There are many horses who fit the description of both (Zan Parr Bar was one). As a breeder who is breeding for both performance ability and eye appeal, I don't find it necessary to sacrifice one for the other. It might be more difficult to achieve, but what worthwhile goal isn't?
Quote:You must realize that most people don't have the best interest of the breed at heart. Of course they're not going to understand (or agree) with someone breeding for the long term integrity of a breed. They're too consumed with doing what they currently do with the type of horse they do it with. That is more self-serving and provides for the probability of success in a shorter amount of time.
