In order to be registered with the JC it has to be live cover with another registered TB. If you're breeding to a QH it doesn't matter because it wouldn't be eligible to be registered with the JC anyway. It's just the way the TB industry is. They believe part of the magic of what makes a champion is the actual meeting of two horses. Plus it's helped keep their industry from being flooded by certain bloodlines because the stallions can only cover so many mares per season and the mares can only have 1 baby per season. I mean there are still pedigrees that dominate, but it's not like the barrel industry where we have famous mares having 8 babies per year via embryo transfer lol

I knew some QH people from my earlier show days who got into QUITE the pickle claiming they were using embryo transfer from a nice mare when in reality they were just breeding the recip mare and claiming embryo transfer. I don't remember the details, it's been over a decade now and I was fairly young and new to the show scene at the time.
