Elite Veteran Posts: 1165 Location: California	I completely forgot I bid on a stallion auction!!! I made the decision to breed my APHA mare this spring and after some careful thought chose the close by Perks Firewater Flit. Well turns out I'm the winning bid on Bull an APHA stallion with an impressive track record. Proven sire vs freshman sire. Perks Firewater Flit http://m.runnincperformancehorses.com/site/mobile?dm_path=%2Fperksf... This is Bull My mare Pepsi Bar Dancer Sorry doing this very quick before work. So now I have a decision to make and I need opinions! Edited by Serenity06 2017-01-31 10:00 AM

Expert Posts: 3815 Location: The best kept secret in TX	Bull. Hands down. PFF has a swan like neck from high head carriage that ties in lower than Bulls. He also has a crazy steep angle on his hip that I just don't care for. He's mediocre. Bull has a low tie in his neck as well but it's very clean and isn't swan like. His hip is also much nicer than the Perks. I'd buy an "unproven" Studs foal over a baby with poor conformation any day.... ETA bull also has a shorter back and looks to be more athletically built than PFF Edited by IRunOnFaith 2017-01-31 3:44 PM

Elite Veteran Posts: 1165 Location: California	There is a video on his owners Facebook and yes he is paddling in it. Though, it's hard to say if that's how he always travels or if it was an "I'm showing off while in a confined area" deal.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1165 Location: California	Well after all the fees that get tacked on (the stallion auction wording was a tad misleading) the total cost turns into $1175 (vet fees pending an average cost) to breed to Bull. Not entirely positive I want to spend that on a stallion I don't have any good conformation pics of and no good videos. She may just be left open this year.

So then you just plan to eat the cost of the bid you placed in the stallion auction?

After paying for that bid I would just bite the bullet and breed her, what would you do with the payed for stud fee? Use it I would.. Edited by Southtxponygirl 2017-02-07 4:49 PM

Elite Veteran Posts: 1165 Location: California	The stud fee I paid is honestly the cheapest part of the whole equation. Lol. Idk I'm the type of person that over thinks EVERYTHING. If i could at least get some decent side pics it would make me feel better. I can't even find any win photos. If i decided to not use the breeding I would ask Bull's owner if it was ok to sell it. If she said no then I'd have to respect that. I honestly have no clue at this point.
