| I got a free breeding to this guy https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/rc+king+gold
I have two mares to choose from. Mare #1 https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/bonanzas+countess
Mare #2 https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/solanos+kid+cody Of the 2 mares, bloodline wise which would be the better cross? It will be used for a working/general riding horse. Mare #1 is 19 15.3hh and has 1 foal. Mare #2 14hh and is 14 and maiden. Both are both pretty good confirmation wise. 2 is mutton withered and a little sway back but nothing terrible

    Location: Dubach, LA | Mare 1 Mare 2 has a conformation defect (away back). Mare 2 is only 14 hands and first foals tend to be small.
Most of the horses on all three sets of papers tend towards working cow/reining, right? |

I don't know much about the stallion other than King. I know the first mare has some halter breeding but other than that I don't know much about her. The 2nd mare is 100% cow horse top and bottom. |

| I would go with the one that is not mutton withered. That is a deal breaker around here. Being sway back can be an indication of kissing spines. AAEP has determined that kissing spines is hereditary. |

we're going with the first one. And good to know about kissing spine. I didn't know that. |
