Pedigree Query

Does anyone think that inbreeding to Icecapade 3 x 3 would be a good thing or a bad thing. ANY opinions are appreciated. Being fairly new to breeding I have a whole lot to learn still.

Thanks in advance

Need to know which mare and what are your plans(selling vs Racing yourself)?

The mares name is E J Shack. We breed to race with a possible sale but it would be private not at a sale.

I think inbreeding to Icecapade may be good, but I suggest it should be sex-balanced.; that is, through a daughter.
May I suggest a stallion?
IROQUOIS PARK.

Actually I looked into this very topic because of my stallion Rocking Trick.. and a mare I have named Schwank. Another stallion owner with an Icecapade line horse shared with me that it is quite a good nick provided the rest of the cross is good. There is a discussion regarding Northern Dancer/Natalma as a source of unsoundness.. yet Nearco himself was a sound horse, as was Icecapade and the Icecapade line.

Of course my horse/Schwank is 3x3 Clever Trick, which is 4x4 Icecapade, but it is considered actually a very good match.

Thank you all for the insight and information.

I'm quite fond of Icecapade inbreeding. I also like Icecapade w/Damascus and Delta Judge lines.
