Blackthorn was an old fashioned ID, sorry to read on their website that he has past away recently :(
my horse is perfect for me ;o)
We will always want to improve on what we have, so I doupt perfection will ever be achieved.
Agree Cruising is great, but not perfect, for perfect he would need to be Bay
i think open to offers sounds a little desperate (sorry) and POA I wouldnt phone for because I expect it to be $$$$$!
I think people should just state what they want, I hate trying to do deals!
it is just a old saying, I don't see why people are so offended about it? It is only highlighting that breeding horses is a difficult & risky business, I don't think any breeder would disagree with that.
