| I'm looking at horse for my daughter not a barrel horse just something for her to learn to ride on. she is impressive bred and has not been tested. The folks that have her said they have not had any problems with her at all no special diet, no anything. I am thinking about taking a chance with this mare. Do any of you guys have experience with a Hypp horse? And what I could expect or what to look for if she has an episode?
Thanks so much. |

| I have a friend who has owned a couple and she will not own another N/H horse again. It is too hard to watch she said. She would however own an n/n. She liked the line a lot. |

| Thanks you guys. I just don't want to get my daughter something that will have issues. I have enough of that :) I will look at both the the sire and dam and see if they have been tested. I'm guessing I could call AQHA? There is another mare I'm looking at but she is grade I just thought it would be easier to sell a papered one if it didn't work out.
Thanks again :) |

| Yes call AQHA if the parents are not tested have the mares tested, that way you know for sure if you are concerned. I would test the grade as well.... Who knows what's in her background .... |

Location: Southern Indiana | How old is she? I'm pretty sure AQHA has required the testing for a long time. I remember having my impressive bred mare tested back in the late 90s. It should be on the papers. If you want to buy her and she has not been tested I would request that they do so.
I came across one last year that the owner had no idea she was n/h. |

Location: in the ozone | fast & easy to 5 panel (with Animal Genetics - with AQHA, they take their sweet time). If you're (or the seller, who should do it) are testing, might as well do 5 panel since PSSM1 has become a real issue too. |

Location: NW MT | I would check with AQHA too & see if the horse has been tested.
I am one who won't buy ANYTHING anymore w/o full testing - 5 panel & variants for PSSM2. Not taking anymore chances. |

| Thanks you guys. She's 14 on her papers it has a statement saying that she has an ancestor known to carry hypp and aqha recommends having her tested. I really don't need any more problem children in the barn already have 3 2 that are older than dirt and one that has a mystery limp.
I'm going to talk to the seller about having her tested I don't know if he will or not but will see.
The five panel testing what is that? my girl with the mystery limp I**might** be getting ready to sell her as a broodmare. Depending on if we can get her figured out. Would that be something I would need to do with her? Her bloodlines are DFC and Easy Jet. I'm so out of the loop when it comes to all the genetic stuff. Guess I need to go do a lot of reading.
Thanks again, everybody :) |

| There are plenty of nice horses out there. Keep looking.
Frankly, I had a beautiful, N/N Impressive bred mare that practically had to give away because so many avoid the bloodline. |

I 5 panel test all my broodmares.
PSSM, MH and HYPE positive are a no for breeding in my program.
I will breed a HERDA or GBERD carrier to a clean animal as it is a recessive disease and needs 2 copies to cause issues.
Animal genetics explains them all very well.
As for PSSM2 I wont do biopsies without cause nor use a test that has has not been peer reviewed and proven sound but each their own there. (Not starting a debate just my personal decision, if you feel the need to use that test by all means do it!)
To have it on file with AQHA you order the test through them put hair on the card they send and mail it and results are not too long, I could call and get them months before I got the letter saying my results. |

| As far as the bloodline goes, you love them or hate them. I love them. https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/dun+burnin
That is a gelding we owned who we turned down large sums of cash at every roping we went to, we lost him to a twisted gut colic when he was 18 a week before christmas quite a few years ago, I want to say 6 and have yet ever found a rope horse as good as he was, just an amazing horse that a pro could win on and a newbie could learn. Heart of gold too, honest as the day was long.
Impressive threads always make me think of him and get all gushy lol. |

Location: North of where I want to be | Considering the lifetime cost of owning a horse(any horse) The testing is a pittance. It is worth the fee to have it done simply for the piece of mind.
ANY time I see a seller stated "well bred, but never registered" I ask Why and for me it usually comes to "what is in the pedigree that you don't want to disclose.
I will not buy AQHA with out it being tested. |

Location: North of where I want to be | And I second what Della said, with Impressives you either love them or hate them. There is no middle ground, especially with the mares. To that end, it has been my experience with the Impressive bred mares that they are workers, gritty and devoted. Personally I love them.

| Thanks again every one. I asked the fella if I could leave a deposit and give me two weeks for testing, plus move some horses around. i.e. take my old one to my fil's and turned her out down there at his place . I haven't heard back from him so I guess it's a pass.
My niece has an Impressive bred mare and she's really a nice mare quirky as all get out but really nice.
I've been around quite a few esp back in the early 90's he was all the rage around here from halter, western pleasure pretty much everything. But the ones' that I have been around I have liked.
Did not know it would be so hard to find an older horse for a beginner on a tight budget lol. I think I'm at the point where I might just ride my mare more and see if she will work my daughter. She is really level headed most of the time, but she is so big I just didn't want to overwhelm her if she did act up. But we're still trying to find her limp issue but I don't think it would hurt to tote a 70lb beginner around the pasture while she's trying to figure things out. or I could maybe somehow shorten her legs and just keep on the pony lol
Thanks again every one and have a great weekend. |
