So i am doing an experiment, bootstrapping. I have a couple dozen fillies, and am monitoring them, they all have the same sires, but THIS one is head and shoulders above the others in terms of points earned. Should i just spay her and show her? Do people with breeding programs keep mares like this in the mix?
I believe I understand that show-ability is not passed on genetically.. if that's true, there is no good reason not to spay her so she can be a great show horse. am I right?
Thanks -
Personally, I would paper her and only keep her intact as a Bootstrap mare if she's Gold. But if her genes are what you really want in your program, that's also a good reason to keep her intact. As a 2-year-old, there's really no way of knowing how she'll place in future shows, or whether she'll level off in a good spot or not, so it really comes down to what you want from your bootstrapping program.
If you'd like, I could sell you a few Gold mares to help your program. -
@Mackz I'd love a few gold mares. Do you have any RH?
thanks -
Oh yes, quite a few. If you're okay with some foals and 2-year-olds, I have more you can look at in addition to the ones you already picked. https://www.huntandjump.com/adv_search.php?runsearch=go&jump=0&bonel=1.5&f_adv=level&stallion=0&gelding=0&spayedmare=0&foundation=0&name=B+RM&owner=276208&sire=15310536&56=0&57=0&58=0&59=0&60=0&61=0Post edited by MackZ at 2022-08-15 18:35:05
