This is my 11yo QH mare LK Classic Zipper. I'm thinking about possibly breeding her this spring. Take it easy on me as far as the pic goes. We just got 18" of snow and just starting to melt and the paddock is a pit. Here is a link to her pedigree. Lk Classic Zipper Quarter Horse
What is his breeding? He is OK.. but looks like there is some Halter stuff in there (that you do not want) and looks light on bone and a bit photo shopped (yes! Watch out for photo shopping!!).
The other Paly is sickle hocked (a little). I like Preferred Platinum. I like his Get too!
They have better and current performance studs than any of the others posted. But I still ask the question....what is your goal with the resulting foal? Do you want a WP horse/general riding horse? Go with anything at Cooper QH, otherwise....the rest posted are not suitable at all.
I'm going to be totally honest here, but have 2 questions first:
1. What is your intent with the foal.....a reiner? Her lines are your basic all-around stuff, nothing spectacular....but average.
2. What makes this mare exceptional that you want to pass on?
IMO, she's not worthy of breeding based on her conformation. She is very front heavy which means performance wise....she'll travel on her forehand and it will take fitness on her part to use her hind end...and I don't see it. While I like a lower neck/chest tie in, her's is VERY low and ties into a pigeon chest and her neck is very wide at its base. Combine with his a weak long loin, shallow hip and downhill build...she'll pull herself along. These are not traits I would want to pass on in a foal. While this is only "aesthetics"....she has a square and boxy head, not refined and not feminine.

I plan on doing all around. Mostly mounted shooting. And you don't ride the head.
