Our mare FQC She’s Got Legs was part of a beautiful photoshoot recently and BOY HOWDY did it capture just how massive she is! pH is dropping and calcium is climbing, she’s due to foal any day with her Gunners Town foal! This foal WILL be available!! Genetic testing will be done as soon as it is born! Talk about a great show prospect!

AQHA members!
Please sign the petition for change of how we can vote on issues within AQHA. As it stands now you have to be in person at the convention in Vegas. For most of us breeders it’s in the middle of foaling/breeding season so leaving is hard. Besides the travel cost being another issue.

If they could create an option within our online AQHA dashboard to vote it would allow 1 vote per member and we wouldn’t have to leave.

Please sign and share!

“Based on pedigree alone, who would you breed this (insert s*x here) to?”

When did we become so obsessed with papers that we forgot about the individual? Don’t get me wrong, I won’t lie to you….I am a pedigree snob. BUT, where *I* (just my opinion, so don’t get upset) feel differently is, the horse needs to be the WHOLE package. Built well, great minded, good feet/legs, then pedigree. Let’s face it, we’ve all seen some amazing bred *donkeys* out there.

“50% of any given bloodline is not breeding quality” in the words of Susan Larkin, who was a leading pedigree analyst, and I try to live by that.

When we choose a cross, there are SO many more factors than “based on pedigree alone” or my other favorite “based on earnings alone”. We love choosing our favorite bloodlines, because we then have an IDEA 💡 of what that offspring COULD be. Gunners TEND to be quieter. Dual Rey’s TEND to be hotter etc etc.

You know what “based on earnings alone” means? It means those people had LOTS of money to send that horse to the best trainer, the best vets, and the biggest shows. Was the horse talented? No doubt, but an equally talented horse in the hands of someone with MUCH less money, would be overlooked because they didn’t get the same push that other one did.

I feel (again, MY opinion, keep your pants on before you get mad) that when we choose “based on pedigree alone” we are overlooking important things like ✨conformation✨. It’s a magical thing that ensures your horse has a long happy sound life. Large conformation faults lead to later in life soundness issues, even on a horse that didn’t compete at the top level. Did we forget how to judge conformation? Did we stop caring? Or did we just not teach the people coming up what to look for? Somewhere in the mix of things we “unlearned” or perhaps “uncared” too much about these horses.

Please be mindful this breeding season when looking at who you’re looking to breed your mare to. You’re setting that foal up, from day one, for either a sound happy life, or a life of pain. We don’t forget environmental aspects that can change this course, but you want to have the best chance at a great life that can happen. It starts with basic mechanics.

Never ask me for life advice……

You’ll end up with a new horse

There have been some things on my mind lately that I see from a lot of people. People who have a dream to breed, or raise one of their own, or learn repro but also have a "I can't because...." statement they use.

"I can't learn repro, because I don't have a facility" Darlin, you don't NEED a facility. Do you know how many doses of semen I have processed in my kitchen? Do you know how many embryos I have flushed and my stocks are not even under a cover? Yep, they are nekkid as a jaybird, just sittin' out there in the middle of the wild, where I do my breeding work from a rolling toolbox that I roll back into the garage every time I am done.

Did I mention how many stallions I have collected off a homemade dummy? Yep, power poles, some foam, and several old horse blankets. Oh and all the times I caught mare urine in a old pickle jar and then poured it on my home made phantom to collect a stud?

Or what about all the times I collected a stallion OFF A MARE because I didn't have a dummy? Safe? Absolutely not. Did I make it work? Surely did.

Summer and its hot? Don't worry, I have a pop up portable canopy that I sometimes sit on top of empty protein tubs and twine to the ground so it doesn't blow away, but it is tall enough I can see the mare from under it.

We see all these gorgeous facilities with the most up to date, high tech, wonderful things. They have heated/cooled buildings or rooms they process semen or embryos in. They have fancy microscopes, the newest semen tanks, the most top of the line breeding stocks. The ones with a door on the front AND the back AND a swing out side??

Darlin', you don't NEED any of that. You need your will and want to make this dream of yours come true. You need a little luck, as we all do, and most of all, you need someone in your corner telling you YES YOU CAN DO IT. You don't NEED anything fancy to get this done.

Did you know I transferred my ICSI embryo, in the middle of the night, in the spare bedroom? I walked my crazy ass back outside to the mare I sedated in my home made stocks, and I implanted said embryo in my nekkid as a jaybird stocks with my rolling toolbox that I had to drill out the lock on because I lost the key.

You can do it my friend. I have faith in you that you CAN do it. Don't let ANYTHING stop you from making this dream of yours come true.

This is where it all started. Well, long before this, BUT I spent every waking hour riding this horse that Pop and Great Grandma would let me. I spent HOURS on the back of this horse. He was my Pops stallion “Bucko” I never knew he was a stallion until I was long grown up.

I raced the harrow bed, I jumped the bales coming out of the baler, I rode him in the irrigation ditches, I spent most of my time ba****ck, because I was too small to lift Pops big ole saddle. This horse kept me safe, no matter what. I’ll be forever grateful to this horse, and my Punkin, Pop and Great Grandma for letting me loose to run the ranch on him!
