Veteran Posts: 119 Location: NeverLand	I had my post all typed up but it seems it never posted so I will try again.. Asking for a friend.. She has been looking at a local stallion to breed to her mare but he has a slight pigeon toe on the right front. his legs are straight it just seems to be in the hoof. he has never taken a lame step. It has never affected him in the arena. Would this be a major red flag? Is this something that could be passed on to the foal. Any info that I can pass on to her would be greatly appreciated!

Location: Not Where I Want to Be	1. Maybe 2. possibly 3. It would have to be a smoking deal for me to chose a stallion with a defect over others priced the same, bred the same etc. that did not have the defect. So in essence it's a personal choice.

Regular Posts: 73 Location: Central Texas	There are too many nice studs out there to breed to one that could pass a defect on to my mares foal. Just my opinion.
