First off, WHY would a breeder want more than one stallion?
Seems like stud fees are a lot cheaper than paying for hay, promoting the stallion and PROVING it (which is sadly what most of the breeders I'm talking about bypass first, when it SHOULD be the promoting...).
So without further ado, here are some horrific examples of what is being peddled off as 'stallion quality'...

Just because a horse is both A.) male and B.) a double dilute does NOT make it a stallion prospect!!! Good LORD, that colt's sire (as seen on their Please visit our website for more foals link from the ad) has some CROOKED front legs, and has very little going for him... besides, of course, the qualities listed above. Which, now that I think about it, makes perfect sense... that's obviously their only criteria. Nuts and Color.

Again, homozygous black genes do NOT a stud prospect make... this colt's obviously pretty cow hocked, and at the odd picture angle, also appears to have a long back and crooked front legs as well.

Holy Freakin Long Pasterns! No pedigree and a strange-looking neck make this colt the ULTIMATE moron backyard breeder prospect. GELD HIM, I don't care HOW GOOD HE IS AROUND MARES... GEEEEEEEEZ!

This ad just speaks for itself... yikes.

I like how they say 'use him as a stallion prospect OR train him in cutting and reining.' Like you can't do both, because, y'know, that would void the code of the moron breeder: thou shalt not breed with proven animals.

Ew. This colt not only has ancestors that are KNOWN producers of the HERDA gene, but if you look closely, he looks to have very looooong pasterns. And what does "HE HAS BEEN PLAY SENCE BIRTH" mean?
No WONDER the market is in the toilet... if this is what is out there being bought as stallion material...

I heard you say you were near the Fug colt in Vacaville... whereabouts? I'm just south of San Jose, and I would seriously pitch in time and/or money (no truck and trailer though) to get him outta there. Send me an e-mail if you want- the address is my username here, followed by AQHA at gmail dot com. Slightly cryptic for the spammers ;)
Also, I wanted to add this:
The perlino stud colt's "breeder" has a mare named-
Mass Hysteria
Ironically appropriate for this post!

I find it funny that you spend your days looking for poor examples of the breed when you have your very own close to home. While your cousin's stud may be proven, he lacks good conformation. It looks more like your cousin is breeding for color - the very same trait you've slammed these breeders for on your blog. Ironic.
Did your cousin train him? No? Did YOU? No?
Just where do your qualifications for judging come from? Are you a judge for any of the registries? No? Are you just a malcontent that spends way too much time on the internet judging others instead of spending time with your son? Yes?
Maybe you should work on your priorities. Then clean up your own backyard before you go messing in other's.
lawlessshadow, I'd recognise that pretentious diction anywhere.
I wouldn't expect a breeder of mustangs to really "get" what this blog is about.
Good luck with that.
Apparently, perry's mama, you don't know as much as you think you do. If it makes you sleep better to think I am who you think I am, go right ahead. You're wrong, but I know that doesn't stop you from running your mouth.
Hilarious, Lawlessshadow.
At last, they come out to 'avenge'.
While I'm not quite sure what you're talking about regarding me not spending time with my son, or my cousin's stallion having poor conformation, I can definitely see that you have me pegged for something I'm not.
So, if it makes you feel better, go right ahead and talk.
You'll dig your own hole.
So, we're pretty sure that lawlessshadow is the TMom creature...but we can't for the life of us figure out how she is managing to spell all these SAT level words???
Is there yet another vengeful HTer out there out to get us?
"At last, they come out to 'avenge'."
The only problem with those who "come out to avenge" is they're unable to discuss the issues at hand - they'd rather resort to the personal attacks. It's all they have.
To be honest, I don't really care who it is. It could be one or a combination of people. Like I said, they'll dig their own hole. I see no reason to do it for them.
But you're right, Susan.
I've never lowered myself to the level of public personal attacks on anybody; it's always related strictly to their breeding practices. And honestly, it's kind of character-proving in and of itself, making mean comments about people's personal life, isn't it?
Well, I believe that in order to improve our judgment and evaluation of a horse (ours or anyone else's), we have to be totally honest. It doesn't matter WHO says it, or whose horse it is. We have to be willing to discuss it (if a person is serious about breeding) without the PC crap. Sugarcoating anything never helped anyone. Sugarcoating is for the My Little Pony forums.
But nobody can tell me what 'has play sence birth' means.
C'mon haters, you seem to know it all... what does it mean?
