I used to break horses. I never had enough time in the day to ride all
the horses in the barn so I had head lamps and rode nearly nightly. It
is so quiet and peaceful then.

I owned several TN Walking mares. I had them bred to high quality
spotted walking horse, a cremelo(to sorrel to get pals) or world grand
champions. It was either breeding for color or the best of the best. I
sold one colt at 4 months old for $8K but the stud fee was $5K as it was
out of Pusher(I bought the mare in foal). When breeding to the high
dollar studs it was all about knowing the flaws of your mare and trying
to use a stud that would over ride these. Like The Touch did not have
much heart but was a very good walking horse would only be bred to a
mare with alot of heart. I never made this pairing but anyone who knows
walking horses and was at the show when the Touch won knew it was the
shortest work out ever to crown the WGC.

My back injury took me out of the business and finally my farm. But
what else do you wish to talk about on this topic. I have broke horses,
shown horses, and raised 2 WC 2 year olds and one became a WC 3 year
old(both of these sold as colts). If it is walking horses I know the
blood lines and even within reason the colors possible from breeding 2
horses together.
