Pedigree Query

No, he's not being shipped. We didn't get a place in Texas, but we will be looking for our other horse in Texas. I want to thank everyone for your help. I received a lot of advice and several private messages and I did try and use it all in our decisions. What it comes down to is the fact that I pla...

Hey everyone :) I just wanted to show a pic of our first horse, he is a Nurse Mare Foal. We really wanted to have one horse that was adopted around the same time as our little girl. We fell in love with his colors black and white and also that he is described as loving people. Here is his descriptio...

We will be looking for two 2 yr olds. This is our first auction, so any advice would be great.

Hi Lucy, Thanks for the reply. I was wondering about an early medical reason, because they are just two year olds and some younger when counting months. I didn't think about the temperment issues, so I'm glad you mentioned it and I will definitely ask about the reasons for the gelding. I just though...

Thanks Yall :) And, yes, I've looked at the past years actually, lol, and also compared pedigrees. It looks like some geldings even if they have a better pedigree as far as racing is concerned, are selling for less than fillys or colts with inferior pedigrees?

And, yes, you can get a race prospect for $2k. Not a great horse, but an okay one. You can also get a horse alread...

*Bellarina, that is so sad, what an introduction to raising horses! I think I understand what you are saying, that while I could get her a Thoroughbred, beside looking at it, she won't be able to really enjoy it and if I race the horse then it's most likely to get injured/or have to be put down befo...

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your help. I also looked into adopting a Nurse Mare Foal. Any advise good or negative on that route? Oh, and Casallc, my MA is in Child Psychology and I was a behavioral specialist and child advocate for over ten years. The last thing I would do is put my daughte...

You know what, lol, I forgot to mention that my little girl is only 1 year and 5 months. So, although it would be her horse, she wouldn't ride it, until she was 7 or 8 years old. My niece started riding around that age and when I was looking on line they advised getting a ten year old girl an older ...

Hey Everyone :D I'm new to the board and could use some help finding and choosing two horses to be part of our family. This is my situation. I finishing up an adoption of a little girl whom I've been fostering in the country of Guatemala for 1.5 years now. She loves animals and we have four male poo...
