Location: Kansas | Asking for a friend......I know alot of people breed to the "known" sons of a certain stallion. Would it be a no-go to breed to a grandson of a stallion such as frenchmans guy, etc? if already a proven 1D barrel horse? Just a question |

| If he has documentation to back himself up I dont care if he is 10 generations removed form a "popular" name. |

So your saying......basically...if he was proven...then you would breed to said stallion? |

Yes. But...lots of people have lots of definitions of what proven is. |

Location: Southeast Louisiana | If he's done well locally, I like his style, demeanor and offspring, I wouldn't hesitate to breed to him. It takes a lot of big money to make a stallion as well known as Frenchman's Guy. There are lots of horses out there that, I believe, are just as talented, but never will be in the hands of someone who can afford to popularize them. |

Not that you aren't attempting the best that you can if you keep the foal, but I would take a chance on something for myself before I would chance something that I wanted to sell if that makes sense.

| People like to see popular bloodlines when purchasing a horse. But I think a proven mare being bred to a proven stallion will produce a foal that is plenty marketable. If the mare isn't proven or doesn't have a strong pedigree then you better breed to a stallion that has both.

Location: Desert Land | The stud would have to be a total badass for me to want to breed to a grandson of something special- otherwise, why wouldn't I just breed to a son of something special?
Especially if we are referring to FG...there are so many of his sons standing, and with very proven records/producing with very reasonable stud fees. |

I agree. Especially for resale value. |

| Chances are if the stallion has the stats we all want to see, he will likely have the pedigree also.
The only hypothetical example I could even think of is if a horse like Honor thy frenchman were a stallion, would you breed to him or his Papa? |

Location: Kansas | I guess I need to rephrase this question......If someone bred a proven mare to an own son of said stallion's meaning could be any well known stallion....and the mare threw a colt, and they kept the colt intact....ran futurities on this colt (if colt does well and is a proven 1D futurity horse), studs horse out....would it be marketable to be that "grandson" for that stallion, in breeding terms?
It's monday, I know I'm not making any sense LOL |

Holy kamoles lol.....if I understand this correctly, the hypothetical foal is a stud and wins 1D moola.....so, therefore, is himself proven.....then yes, I believe you will have a marketable stud......however, to get to that point will take years IF all the cards fall in to place. |
