I'm definitely with you there. This doesn't leave me feeling very confident with Suzie's situation, which isn't really what I was hoping for after what happened with Yauvauni

Oh I most emphatically agree! There are LOTS of really good stallions out there that are user friendly and have all their ducks in a row, so dealing with a stallion owner that just doesn't have the information necessary or if there are conflicts with the information they are providing, it sets off all kinds of alarm bells for me. I WON'T go chasing someone to give them my business <smile>.

I second this! The Holekamps are wonderful to work with and quick with responses to questions you may have. There are also several Trak inspections around the US during the year, each year, for you to present your TB mare and foal.
