he's beautiful! It's amazing how well the wild horses get along without people getting in the way.. his hooves are nice and rounded without a collapsed heel, his coat is healthy, and he's got mane and tail like there's no tomorow! I know many fancy show horses that have problems with 1 or more of those things... and they have people to "help" them!

However, wild horses tend to have ugly, coarse heads, choppy gaits, and less than average conformation. There are always acceptions to the rule, but I perfer those 'fancy show horses' that may have a few problems but ride well and have good conformation when bred well than a wild card 'wild' horse.
Nothing against those mustangs, but I've seen enough of them to perfer my well-bred, not perfect but fuctionally correct quarter horse gelding. If wild horses were as amzing as you make them out to be, people wouldn't have began selectively breeding.

I know that selective breeding is a good thing when done well. I personally have 2 Arabian geldings that I've had Arabian breeders beg to breed to those bloodlines before they were told that the horses were geldings. but one of the best horses on the farm is Thunder, he is at least part Appaloosa because of his coat pattern but no one has any clue what his breeding is or even how old he is, he is at least 20 and still will out work any horse on the farm...

There are alot of twenty-something year olds of mixed pedigree that work well, and those of pure pedigree, but that doesn't mean they should be allowed to breed. I've met alot of really nice horses and I couldn't tell you who was the best, I know two purebred arabians (mare and gelding) who sold for $40k and are supreme English pleasure horses. Some people would rather have that than an appy mutt. People want different things and not everyone desires a work horse or show horse or a endurance horse, etc, which is why selective breeding is so important.

Yes, not to argue with you since you do have valid points, but how do you think that new breeds are formed and then selectivly bred? They are mixed somewhere along the lines. Your "purebred QH" probably has some TB in his(?) lines and I know he has some Arabian in there.
I was useing one of my purebred Arabs (and actually he's not exactually pure since he's got so many types of Arab in him!) to drag a sled full of feed in the barn earlier. I don't use my horses for what they were bred for, they're pets and I expect them to do nearly anything I ask of them.
Lke I said, I'm not trying to argue and I an see your point too, but my horses are ignore andare basically wild horses you can catch and ride, they never get more than a handfull of grain a day and they go monthwithout being brushed, in fact the best bred horse I have is the only one that has shoes on and needs his feet trimmed, the rest of them wear them off on their own.

We have our horses for different reasons. hip, which means I ride the horse I use (lesson horse, show horse) for western pleasure and showmans he needs to be built like a wp style aqha or his job will be too hard for him to do. If he wasn't bred for the class, the work would be too uncomfortable for him and that wouldn't be fair of me to make him do something he wasn't meant to do.
No horse is actually, completely '
I wish my horse was less work to take care of (especially in terms of feed, he is a hard keeper), but I'd rather have him than a mustang.

yeah, I have 5 of the buggers and am getting ready to have 2 more I think... I currently have 2 pure Arabs, a Arab/paint cross (splash if you want to look), Thunder (appy mutt), Doodle is a Standardbred, and the 2 new ones are Walking horses, not registered and no clue if they're pure... but they're spotted so possibly not... who cares in my book, they have 4 hooves, they're pretty, sound, and gaited. and the colt is a stud.
National show horses are great! I used to work at a Saddlebred barn and they had a NSH there.
Yeah, Wings (the one I was dragging feed around with) is a pure bred Arabian, he's bred to the hilt, and he has a long back, streight shoulder, lowset neck, and back problems... he's not built to be a riding horse... he was bred to be one though... I used to do dressage with him but it was way too hard for him so he's mostly retired... but I'm going to start having him drag heavy stuff around the farm more just to keep him from getting too weak through the back and breaking down all the way..
and Lolli... poor lolli...lol, He's a Fadjur grandson (Fadjer is a son of Kemosabi) (sorry about the spelling) so he's actually halter and western bred... he wouldn't stand a chance in a halter class, he's just not that type... and you put a western saddle on him and it's sitting on his rump and neck at the same time! There is barely enough room for 2 skinny people to double on him!
the cross breds at my barn actually come a lot closer to being what they were bred to be than the purebreds...

Well, that's bad luck. I want to buy a purebred andalusian colt (will geld) and that baby better be wellbred all up and down his pedigree for what I'm paying for (when I get one).
I also want another aqha gelding like mine when I'm older, hopefully a sorrel with chrome and an awesome pedigree like my Cooper (he's on my front page), but with less of his faults.
That's weird that your arabs have so many problems. Where did you get them from?
Also, why are you leaving your twh colt intact?
π: 0 β©: 1
Andalusians are cool, I worked with some of them one summer and showed a 4 year Azteka (Andilusian x QH) mare for the lady. I got all of my horses for free and I'm not really going to complain about them, they are all sweet and rideable even though 2 of them were really green 10 year olds, one was a completly untrained 10 year old, thunder was abused and was a cranky distrustfull 16 year old, and Doodle... is just doodle...lol
AQHA's are good, they're just not my style.. I know that riding a well built, well trained western Pleasure horse is heaven but it's just not my thing. I want something I can jump on bareback and go on a trail ride, canter down the road, jump 3 feet or so, race a friend with, drag stuff around with, sit under, or even sleep on. I haven't been in a saddle in months, at the most I'll put a bareback pad on one of them so I don't get my jeans filthy since my horses love rolling in the mud... sigh...
One of my Arabs came from a Virginia Tech study and the other one was willed to Centura Stables when his owner died. The Pinto is lovely though... he definantly got the Arab brain that the Arabs didn't manage to get... he has been known to spook at a carrot!
I see no reason not to leave the stud cold a stud, we have housing for him and he's not going to be lonely as so many studs are since he's always going to have a pasture mate... depending on his color when he sheds out he may also have some cool color coat genetics... he may be a cremello... not sure... he's solit white and all of the skin around his eyes, nose, and all feet are white... so who knows what color the skin is underneath... if he is a cremello I'm definantly keeping him as a stud. He can be shown without being registered, even in some pretty big shows. I've never used the registration that Wings has... Lolli isn't registered but he is pure and we do know his lines. Splash isn't registered but we know his lines too... Autumn is my friends Anglo-Arab filly and as far as I know she's not registered... her Sire is a Jocky Club approved TB and her grandsire on her dams side is a world class Arab... but without that piece of paper they are no better than Stud is.... (yes... the stud colt's name is Stud... Five Card Stud to be exact)

lol
*sigh* You shouldn't keep Five Card intact just because he has a pretty color. Really, I get that more 'mutt' horses are better in quality than their purebred peers, but he better have some above average conformatioin for his type and an equally impressive show record if you are planning on breeding him. The economy is terrible right now and I know for a fact kill buyers will not resell mutt horses, even if they look wonderful, because they know buyers will almost always rescue a ugly purebred horse over a better but paperless mutt. Most 'kill buyers' are just horse traders and won't sell purebreds with papers to slaughter, but really, you should try getting your colt into some sort of registry so if you chose to breed him (and please, not because he's pretty) he/ his offspring won't be at such a disadvantage if something was to happen to you.
You should really read the Fugly Horse of the Day blog.

lol, I know I don't want to make more bad conformation horses... we have some boarders at our barn that are good enough at buying every badly built horse they can find. If he hits maturity and has any bad problems he will be gelded no matter what color he turns out to be... but at a fuzzy almost yearling that hasn't had very good nutrition recently he's not going to look much like what he's going to look like when he grows up. and I am going to try to get them in some sort of a registry I just don't know what they could get into yet.
π: 0 β©: 1
You'll be able to tell more when he's almost three (sadly, after three, registeries charge more). I hope he matures nicely.
π: 0 β©: 1
well, I still have to get him... have to get a vet out there to draw a coggins and get him to my barn still...

thanks, I'll be posting some picks soon if you want to look

My horse is like that.. he heals like there is no tomorow... one of my friends was getting upset because my horse got his hind leg over or through one of the barbed wire fences somehow and cut his thigh up pretty bad... it was healed and the scabs were falling off in a week...

I know, they are remarkable. Maybe it shows what breeding can too animals. We select them for very different characteristics then nature would. Look at this: [link] Wild horses have no problems with these injuries while our pet horses would almost die (or at least feel miserable)!
