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

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.

So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....

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