....she has several lines of Impressive breeding".
This right here is likely to be an issue for a lot of protential buyers. The whole HYPP thing is NOT laways the issue with buyers. Being N/N means nothing to those that just don't LIKE Impressive bred horses. Not everyone is "shying away" because they don't understand the whole N/N thing. They are shying away because many "Impressive bred" horses are so unathletic they can't get out of their own way, and/or are so slow they can't out run a fat man pushing a wheel barrel. Around here, people can barely GIVE AWAY youngsters that are "Impressive bred" especially when he is in the pedigree multiple times.
Yes!
I'm not shying away from Impressive due to HYPP, because I understand the testing. If I were in the market for a foal, I would personally pass on an Impressive bred foal. There are too many good running bred babies out there with bloodlines that have proven themselves in the barrel pen. Impressive lineage is not exactly known for athleticism and while there are exceptions out there, people are going to want what is proven when it comes to buying a baby or prospect.
If you were breeding to keep there'd be no issues at all. Breeding to sell though, I would look for a mare with a more marketable pedigree.
