This thread isn't for talking about why I shouldn't breed a grade horse. I just want an opinion on which of my mares would be the best.

I wouldn't breed any of them, frankly. They aren't breed examples and it's completely irrelevant anyway, since you want a grade foal out of a stallion who *also* isn't breeding quality.

It's hugely of irresponsible if you ask me. Unless, of course, you intend to keep the foal its whole life no matter what it comes out looking/acting like.

I really like aspen. I know she is only 3 though but if you are waiting till May is she going to be 4 by then? I just think Aspen is gorgeous and I would just thrive to see the color foal that would come out. I also love her structure. Good luck in choosing. :)

I personally wouldn't really want to breed any of them either. None of the mares (or the stallion) really have stunning confo and none of them really compliment him/offset his faults either.

However, since you are probably going to do it anyway, I think that Oatie would be your best bet. She is the best conformed of the 3 and just seems sturdier. I would really avoid breeding him to Aspen because IMHO, she is far too young to support a foal from such a large breed.

Please don't talk crap about my horses. If you aren't going to answer the simple question then don't post.

I was not talking crap, I was stating what I consider to be obvious and only offered my opinion (which you asked for). I stand by my post.

Smrobs wasn't talking shit about your horses. She simply said they aren't perfect conformation wise, a lot of horses aren't.

I agree Oatie would be your best bet, Aspen is a bit too small.
Saying that, I wouldn't breed any of them.

I think she meant from Lollygag who has not replied back to her.
