Location: Windoming | SpaceCowboy - 2016-09-06 12:43 PM Cracks me up that some will give 30, 40, 50+ thousand for a pickup that's gonna depreciate its value guaranteed the day you turn the key, but they think its crazy to give good money for a really nice horse like this, who has a great chance of going up in value if anything. Don't get me wrong, I don't spend a fraction of that on horses, but I dang sure understand why they cost that much and I don't judge anyone who does! Sometimes I think I spend the same amount over the years making them, but sometimes I don't end up with one that I even like after all the sweat and tears!
But on the other hand, it could be a dud, get EPM, have chronic issues, or cripple itself first thing...........a lot of times these high dollar horses are never heard of again outside of the sale ring. I couldn't afford to take that chance, although I would love the chance to try. |

And that is a big gamble as I know more great horses that end up crippled and loss of use insurance is pretty much a joke. |

so is this a known individual?
I understand the clone aspect, just not the selling of eggs part.
No biggie, just thought I was missing something |

Well, is the clone old enough to have a 6 year old on the ground?? The next step is to accuse someone of being dishonest which is a pretty big accusation. |

| I'm at a loss and confused state of mind on the comment they are selling her eggs?? No, this mare has been owned by this individual for a year and a half and I do know they are not selling eggs or embryos by any means, LOL. Maybe this mare is being confused with another 6yr old?
Also, there really is a clone of FG out there now? This is news to me too  |

I believe she meant they are pricing her according to her earning power via her produce. Thats what she meant by "They are selling her eggs". And yes, that is exactly why she is worth $30 even if she were a lame duck and couldnt run again.
.....?As far as FG being cloned, yes they did clone him in 2011. So no, it would be impossible for this mare to be by a clone rather then the origional and I just do not see anyone with a great reputation that took years to build, using a clone instead of the origional. It would completely destroy them to do that. AQHA does not register clones either. They also have 4 junior stallions who are all very nice. So there is no need and again, I just do not see them destroying their reputation as a premier top breeder by doing that. I also believe I saw last year now to breed to him it has to be done ICSI. He will not be around forever and the opportunity's for a own daughter will be greatly diminished. |

Thanks. Next time I will take more time in my typing.
Guess I need to drop in more often, I assure you I am not a troll. |
