  Rebel Without a Cause
Posts: 2758
   
Location: Adopt a homeless pet - www.petfinder.com! | Smooth and Fab are the two studs I was going back and forth on. They have a lot of similarities but I decided to go with Fab because his babies have a reputation of being great minded and all ages and levels of riders are having success with them. A Smooth Guy may also have those qualities, but since he doesn't have many babies of running age and the successful ones I've seen are with pro trainers I wasn't convinced they would be right for me. I'm an amateur and besides getting one started with a quality colt starter, I'll do most of the training myself, so great mind and trainablity were a huge factor in my decision. Plus,my mare is a AAA producer on the track and is of similar breeding to Fabs successful babies. Sent in my contract last week and I'm so excited!!!

Location: OK | I have only had one Fab and no Smooth Guy's so my input doesn't mean much but my Fab was out of a dtr of DTF, I have had several DTF colts, the Fab colt had lots of talent but NO and I mean NO try or want to please. I traded him for an unbroke prospect just to get him gone.

Although I really love A Smooth Guy and want one of his babies, sale values will be better "right now" with Fab.
And I can attest to the Fabs, they are awesome.
She is FAT!!!
LOL. I havent had time to ride and its cold!!
But we are going to get busy as soon as I finish all this testing!! |

 Frenchmans Fabulous.....love Smooth Guy but have not seen his dz panel yet.
Smooth is a carrier of Herda and GBED. I wouldn't even consider breeding to him because of that.
I'm not sure what this means .. Does he pass something along to his offspring? Just trying to figure panel testing out. |

The readers digest version; The panal testing is for genetic diseases. If the stallion has a marker for any of them, then yes, he can sire horses with those diseases. They may not inherit the disease, or they may, they may inherite the marker and not exibit symptoms or they may be efflicted and show symptoms. There is no chance if he was clean with no markers and the mare has no markers. The chances also drastically go up if the mare is positive for any of them also and if she has a marker, you do NOT want to breed to a sire who also has a marker for the same disease or you could most likely get a foal afflicted. |
