No. I know I am most likely going against the grain on this thread. But Oh Well, That is the Way I roll! hehehhehehe
I am not going to propagate a Bloodline that has genetic problems to begin with and then add in the FACT that Impressive's feet were a size O or OO for a 1200 lb animal. Ain't no way no how I will propagating something like that in My Band of Horses or on My Place.
HYPP has been found in several bloodlines and several breeds. It is not exclusive to Impressive. I have 3 roan boys that are all your Impressive bred and they all wear size 1 shoes lol.

Ain't no way no how I will propagating something like that in My Band of Horses or on My Place. Question could his size of feet be due to poor shoeing. In current time, I have seen many horses in too small of a shoe, and I have had farriers do the same to my horses.
ABSOLUTELY! MOST TIMES THIS IS A MAN MADE PROBLEM! PLUS I would dare say that most large horses still get shod with an 0 shoe. |

| My friend just bought one that is N/N of course.
I've only had the, errr, pleasure of coming into contact with two impressive horses. Both mares. Honestly, I wouldn't own one. One is starting to come around but both have just total witches. The mare he bought just had a baby. I've never met a foal soo scared of humans. On the other hand, she does seem to have the attitude to be a nice horse.
Time will tell. But both I've come in contact with have had a personality that I don't prefer. |

| My horse has impressive twice way back on his mothers side. I'm hoping he will be my main barrel horse. He is N/N. If they are N/N they are normal like any other horse. His mother is also On a high, breeze bar and nuther dude bred. So much more blood to consider. He is all racing QH or TB otherwise. I will say the impressive made me stop and check his HYPP status on his papers - since he was N/N I didn't let it stop me. |

| My horse is also the cutest, sweetest and handsomest boy! Lovely attitude! He has that inner drive to run too:)
Just adding I don't think my horses feet are small at all. He is barefoot so I couldn't tell you the shoe size lol

This is new news then? I haven't found anywhere on the internet that says HYPP is found anywhere else other than Impressive linage horses. |

That's what I was going to ask. Of course it is found in other breeds as there are many that cross to AQHA horses. But I have never heard that there are any other bloodlines that it is coming from. |

Really? Please educate us on your knowledge....other breeds, yes, because they have been crossed with Impressive bloodlines....but I would like to see your proof that it has been found in other "bloodlines"..... |

Hence, my point proved. Impressive is Patient 000 w/ HYPP. I will NOT be propagating any animal with THAT Genetic Defect!

I have owned mares that where total witches and they had NO impressive in them. Witches comes in all bloodlines, sizes and shapes. I have a mare with Imppessive on one side, she is N/N but she had a nice dispositon. |

I think she was pointing out that she had experience with 2 and both times it was negative. Doesn't mean they are all bad, but like my dealings with horses of that bloodline, and out of all different kinds of mares, it was not a positive experience. The post asks if we would ever buy one. I really would have to say I doubt it. |

I agree... my mare has Impressive in her SECOND generation. She has very thick nice bone, and her feet ARE FABULOUS! Wide, good angles, not flat, good heels... and she passes it to her colts. Her 5 yr old is in a size 1! I think it comes down to how and who Impressive is crossed on... Like mentioned my mare is crossed on old running bloodlines and even has DEPTH CHARGE on her face papers... so it was a good cross that created a fabulous animal! |

This is what I meant, thank you. I have come across plenty of grouchy, witchy, and / or gritty mares not related to this bloodline (in fact own one!) but have notice that the only two horses I've been in contact with from Impressive are this way.
It do feel as though a type of attitude can be passed from certain horses. I'm not saying all the impressive bred horses are this way, just what I've had experience with. |

Get off a computer and ask a vet. A vet from an equine hospital, not a backwoods vet. HYPP is not exclusive to Impressive bred horses. You people and your intolerance of opposing opinions are obviously hell bent on your labels and opinions. Get off you high horse and educate yourselves. And if you aren't going to breed or support any breed with a genetic defect I certainly hope all your horses have had their 5 panels tests and are not PSSM positive. Let me guess, you only associate that with a certain bloodline too lol. Or maybe you haven't heard of it with your ur extensive equine research ;)
APHA even did an article on this. Contact them and call them and idiots. I personally was of the same opinion of you folks until a high profile equine vet informed me otherwise. As far as being on a HYPP bandwagon, I think it pales in comparison to PSSM. There is little known about it other that it definitely affects all horses. It is a much worse problem.

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | Mine have all had hair pulled for the 5 panel and so far they are all coming in NEG.
Why are you upset that they don't like Impressive just because you do? You are mad with the ones that don't like him and yet act like they are pushing you to the same opinion. It's a big world, full of lots of horses. I have A LOT of Beduino in my herd. You can tell me all day long the reasons you hate them and it won't bug me a bit. I like em |
