| Senior Member | Continuation of "my horse is FAT!?" "Is she breeding Material?" NEW pics
I got lots of good feedback from everyone, so thanks for that! These are some new pictures from today. I'm thinking that I'm going to be competing her in mostly jumpers (we've got a long way to go.) i will continue training her in dressage to keep her flexiable and balanced. She has only been ridden for about two and a half months, so I'm still working on getting her into better shape and toning her up. Don't mind her feet, she normally gets them done every six weeks, but my mom missed the farrier, as she got back from vegas the day before and FORGOT. Of course she never told me when it was either. He's coming out this week. I talked to my vet about her bum-highness and he said there's a chance that her withers may come up another 1/2-1 inch. I've got my fingers crossed. I'd also like to say she might not look like much but she's SUPER flashy under saddle. She also has champion bloodlines which would be nice IF i wanted to do the whole Skipper W line breeding thing. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

She is quite pretty, but I wouldn't say she has anything special, thats worth breeding. But there again in UK we are very selective about breeding in general, but in USA you all seem to breed a lot more. Why exactly do you want to breed her? Jo x

I HAD to, to get a job at mcdonalds. I want to breed her for me! I want to breed a nice looking jumper out of her for me to train and ride later on.

If I mentally erase her "Wow!" coloring... no, I personally would not breed her. *edit* I wouldnt breed her because imho she doesnt fit together well. Shes built downhill, and always will be... that in itself isnt enough to stop me but she also has a short thick neck and throatlatch. I may be wrong, but it looks as though she may stand under herself as well. I just dont think that she has enough "Wow!" factor to justify breeding.

Better question is why would you breed - any horse for that matter. TO keep the offspring or to pass on good conformation/disposition traits. While your horse seems to have a sweet disposition, she has some serious conformation faults, from a halter perspective or any other use. A good pedigree is only as good as the actual horse. In this case, the high rump, toed out back, and thick short neck are not desirable. Her coloring is fantastic, but that's the last thing you look at as a breeder...usually.

But isn't is possible that if i breed her to a stallion that's very correct or almost has the opposite of her flaws that it could balance it out? Someone told me that it makes sense, but I don't know that it's nessicarily true. I wouldn't be breeding her to just any old stallion if i did, it would be on that's top of the line.

personally no i wouldnt breed her.she has very night color and what not. but color doesnt mean anything. and yes you can find a stallion and what not to try and fix her faults and all that but its not worth it. it may not even work out to fix the faults. i wouldnt breed her.

She has gorgeous coloring but that aside... The faults that really stand out to me is she is down hill and very over at the knees... Breeding her is really your choice... I'm not sure if I would personally... She's a gorgeous girl, but nothing really stand out to be that screams breeding.
