Pretty cool, huh? And decent fee! The more I think about it I think I will stay with Jesses Double Dee this year and plan on him for next year since he'll be standing a while |

Location: Silver Lake, MN | I love appys and will own one someday...but I know it will not be bought for resale. BUT...I do think they are going to be getting more popular with some of the bloodlines out there with Ivory King and Pikee who is a son of Furrtreeous. |

| We had a double six domino mare "ex race horse" years ago. Fastest horse I have ever ridden. We never did anything competitive with her but the people that bought her were very successful with her. She was a running machine and just loved it.
Crossing her with a lot of the modern successful barrel horse would have made a beast of a horse. And the rest of his QH pedigree looks great. I say go for it!

I mean, yes. You are Crazy. LOL
But at least the guy is built well and has a great top half of his pedigree.
You do run the risk of a solid baby and regardless of talent or color your resale value won't be as much as an AQHA or even APHA. But if you are happy with your choice and plan to raise and ride the baby for just you and not profit, then I say by all means breed.

THEN- maybe next year, 1 to A Smooth Guy and might sneak some spots out of this guy for the other

Location: mi | There really is no big value loss in the ApHC world if you get a solid. We get to show our solids right next to the color at ApHC shows. Yes you have to purchase a permit but its a small price to pay for the solids to hold their value. Yes its disappointing because I believe if you are breeding App's you want color and its disappointing when they come out solid. Trust me been there done that but it only decreases their value slightly. Find them a job they are good at and it doesn't decrease their value at all.

Location: Lala Land | I think for me personally a solid app or solid paint is perfect! But totally understand breeding for color, I'm just not ready to go down that road yet. That being said I do appreciate a gorgeous colored app. |
