You know, in 10 years, you could save up a lot of money and buy the foal of your dreams. In that case you get to choose the gender, choose the color, choose the breed.

AND... you don't have to risk the foaling and all that.

thank you for the suggestion.

10 years you say? How old is she now? The same stallions probably won't even be available in 10 years and there will be 10 crops more of young stallions to consider. This really is a bit far in advance to be looking.

Her biggest faults are her very straight shoulder and pretty bad sickle hocks. Also her back is a bit long for my liking, her pasterns are pretty upright (not too surprising given her shoulder angle) and she is fine boned. Her croup is a bit short and a bit steep too making her back end look poorly defined. Her stifle angle seems a bit open too. I can't tell much about her head or throatlatch from this shot.

It's hard for someone to recommend a stallion in this case for many reasons.

thank you for telling me her flaws i really appreciate that i now see that she is not prefect and not meant to be bred. and i also respect you standing up for all of the horses that have been over bred. there are a lot of horses out there that are going to slaughter because there are too many

ohh and she is 5
