| ~rodeojunkie~ - 2014-03-12 8:40 AM I'm think of breeding this mare to A Streak Of Fling, hoping for a buckskin roan. She is a big mare 16 hands solid, and is a finished reiner that grew to big. We are currently trying to rope on her. If you don't think that she would cross wel with him, please tell me why? Or maybe suggest another that would work well with her conformation. If you don't think she should be bred, let me know too... I'm just wanting some insight. I would be breeding for myself but a want a quality horse, even thought I wouldn't intend on selling. Thank you http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/tardys+golden+jewel
If your first thought for breeding was to get a pretty color or a specific color then you are breeding for the wrong reasons. Just go buy one that you think is a pretty color rather than continue adding to an already flooded horse market. If you are set on having ASOF, just go buy one. There are tons out there. Then you can see if it's pretty already rather than hoping it will be. | |

Just how is she flooding the horse market? She would be breeding for her own use. Or did you not read that? Her horse she can do what she likes. | |

That's also a very nice horse. I booked my retired rodeo mare, that won the 2008 WPRA Derby World Finals, to him for this year. Anxious to see what we get.
I know I so wanted to breed a mare to him this year, but my Fg mare had to go and cut her ear off and stick me with a outrageous vet bill lol Oh well hopefully next year ! | |

Thank you, whenever I'm breeding I at least think about the color possibilities, as well as the all the other factors. With this mare being buckskin it took more then a couple of stallions that I would love to bred to out to the question due to color alone. there are many Palomino stallions that I like but I hate the look of a cremello or perlino baby. So is that thinking any different then saying what might be nice with a certain breeding of two colors. I did firstly want views of how everyone thought that this mare would cross with ASOF on all traits not just color.
From what everyone has said and given me lots to think about I'm not fairly sure that I'm not wanting to chance getting lucky and getting one of the nice foals out of him. I'm currently researching other options.
Thank you for your insight though!
edited to say that I only even consider breeding once every five years so I don't think that I would be doing much adding to the flooded horse market. I just want a quality horse because you never can tell what may happen in your future.
