A word about broodmares...

WHY does everything with a uterus have to be advertised as a broodmare?!

I am a STRONG advocate for SPAYING MARES AS OFTEN AS STALLIONS GET GELDED!!!

That way, morons with no clue about conformation or pedigree wouldn't be tempted to breed animals that have NO BUSINESS adding to the gene pool.

Yay, crappy knees AND a back as long as a dachshunds! Weiner dog horses, hooray!

Wait a second... is that a llama? Or a sheep? Who cares, she's dunalino! *This has to be the ugliest mare I have seen in a LONG LONG TIME... CRIPES, she looks like a whats-what of conformational flaws!* AND SHE'S BRED!

Hey, y'know, they sell mustangs for buy-one-get-one-free sales for a $150 ALL THE TIME... so she should bring fifty bucks less than this.

"She has the conformation of foundation stock" ... which is crooked front legs, low pasterns, a short thick neck and a long back. SCORE!

Yikes... those front legs! Among other things!

Can we say 'Short neck, ties in too high'? JEEZ, I'd be afraid she'd whonk me in the face if she ever got to tossing her head! Oh, I forgot... most foundation folks don't even break their broodmares to ride. So I guess it won't be a problem as long as she keeps throwing dilutes.

And the short-thick neck award goes to...

This is just disgusting to me. The topline on this mare, it looks like the ridgeline of a barn. Her neck is absolutely heinous... yet... she sold for $2,500!! GOOD GAWD, was someone actually stupid enough to PAY THAT for her?!

Alright... discuss. :)
