I was going to post this as a reply on another thread but it was too far off topic and I want to know what people think. So instead of possibly taking over that thread I thought I'd start a new one.
I always see poeple on these breeding threads saying people shouldn't be breeding horses that don't have near perfect conformation, great bloodlines, have proven themselves in some disapline, etc. That's all fine and good and I understand where you're coming from. BUT if those were the only horses available out there I'm willing to bet a lot of us wouldn't have horses. After all, horses like that are going to cost a lot more than the one's with a few comformational flaws and unremarkable bloodlines. Most of us probably can't afford horses like that.
Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know much about comformation and bloodlines and how that affects the price of a horse but it seems logical that the types of horses everyone wants to see breed would be more expensive. So I'd like to hear what people think on the subject. If I'm totally wrong I'd like to hear that too!
