| Where does a big named horse have to be on a horses pedigree to be able to say it is "whatever" bred? |

That is a whole other question from the original question.
I am not one to ask on line breeding if it is close up as I am not a fan |

Location: sunny california | I think "such and such" BRED almost implies grandget. if you had a son or daughter of said horse you would say BY such and such or OUT OF such and such. Otherwise not sure how you could say double bred... i am not an expert but this makes sense to me |

| I have a mare with BA75 on her papers twice in the 3rd generation, once on top and once on bottom. I would consider her double-bred.
As far as saying it is bred a certain way I think is more of a preference. If I have direct offspring of a big name stallion I would just go ahead and say I have a son or daughter of them. If they are grandget I might say they are bred that way, but if it gets out to the 3rd generation it's getting a little too far out there and I'd want to have something big name closer up. |

| Here's one to ponder. I was talking to a guy about his stallion and asked how he was bred. He told me Oklahoma Star. Oklahoma Star was born in 1917 and died about 1943. He was given an NFQHA number but I seriously doubt that he was anywhere close on that horse's papers. |

Location: You never know where I will show up...... | The problem is that so many people will say (JUST AN EXAMPLE) they "have a DTF". But when you look at the pedigree if it's an ad, it might not even be on the papers. I saw one listed for sale as "a DTF" and it was 3rd generation. That's frustrating if you are shopping!
If I say I have a Tres Seis, a DTF, a FWF, or a FG, they are direct progeny.
If I have a grandget of anything like that I will say they are grandget.
If it's not even on the papers, I will say they "go back to" whatever it is that they might go back to. For example my great barrel mare Lena May wasn't anytihng anyone would recognize so I'd tell people she went back to Leaving Memories & Bugs Alive in 75 because that's all that was recognizable on her pedigree.

I agree. It is best to just be specific these days |

I have a question for you :) What about if the horse you are looking at is a great-grandget BUT out of one of the top sons/daughters of that horse? Like great-grandget of BA75 but a grandget of one of the top sons/daughters of him. Would that influence you either way or still a no-no?
Sorry I'm not meaning to pry at anyone or make anyone angry, I'm just exploring horse-people's thought process on pedigrees :)
For example (if you like OTMR) looking at a horse that is a OTMR great-grandget but its grandsire and sire are both major producers and performers. |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | If its not right on the papers then im not interested in hearing it. That doesnt mean i wont look at horses that dont have the top bloodlines on papers, it just means that a horse should not be referred to in a sale add by generations not on the papers |

Personally the Great Grandget is too diluted...  |

^^^^ THIS......That being said, IF the "grand" is a great horse and has the credentials, I would "consider" the horse on that merit....not on the merit of the GREAT grandsire. |

As for double bred
I have a few who some would consider double bred
I have a daughter of judge cash who i have bred to a son of DTF, and another year to a son of DFP some would say double bred Dash for Cash.
This coming year I may breed one of two of my FDD grand babies to another FDD grand son.
I personally don't look at double bred, but did have one foundation mare that was 97% king.
As for what classifies prodigney, I aggree direct sons or daughters. I want the sire to be proven on his own I don't want to breed or buy a horse who has nothing in the first generation. |

| Hahaha I get so annoyed when someone lists their horse as bred such and such and it's not even on the papers. I personally don't look past the grand part bc the great grand are so diluted. When I was buying my big gelding they were marketing him as double bred dfc. He is but way back. He's actually double FDD, a grandson on top out of own daughter of Holland Ease and successful Shawnee Bug mare. I like FDD better than the DFC anyway :) I think sometimes people just pick the most recognizable name to put in ad. |
