You pull hair with the roots on. If the horse is AQHA you want to get a kit from them to put the hair in and send to U C Davis. If the horse is some other breed you can send the hair to Animal Genetics. |

Location: Nashvegas | I have had two and ridden two for others. Of the two I owned, the first was my all around show horse (pleasure, HUS, EQ, HSMP, SWMP) and he was a GRANDSON of impressive, his name was Carmen's Impression. He was beautiful and talented, I showed him for 8 years until he was 21, then I wanted to get into barrel racing. He was honest, sweet, hard working and versatile. He also had good bone and good sized feet! The only maintenance needed were hock injections, that comes with most aged show horses. I don't know if he was n/h or n/n, when I started showing him, 22 years ago they didn't test. He never showed signs or symptoms... The last one I owned was a great granddaughter on the dam's side. She was a heck of a mare as well, very versatile. A solid win you money every week 3d barrel horse and show HUS with the best of them. Quiet, laidback, not marish AT ALL and sound as the day was long. Also, very good bone and amazing feet. She was n/n. The other two I rode both were really intelligent and talented, again both good bone and atheletic. So, yes, I would never hesitate in buying one, matter of fact when I see that name on papers, I perk up. |
