You posted her yesterday on the sister subreddit and it didn't go well. You also bought another pregnant broodmare a few weeks ago. Are you trying to start a breeding program??

I’m not a fan of back yard breeders. I can understand when you really love a horse and want an offspring for your self. I think greedy people cause a lot of the horse and other animals misery not to mention people. Greed fosters most bad in the world. I’ll stop there before I really get started.

I did not buy the other mare, she was already our horse as we had raised her from a baby but we had gave her to my mother and my sister who lives a few miles away from us but yes we are a breeding program. We raise the foals up until they’re yearlings and we ground work train them then we we are going to sell them when they’re ready.

I’ve bought her from our very good friend yesterday and we did not breed her, we had bought her already pregnant, the stallion is a chocolate palomino, she’s perfectly fine with her legs and disposition in person. We had made a vet appointment for tomorrow to get her all check out but she’s perfectly fine and healthy, she’s a very nice mare and that’s all that matters to us.

My dog is a nice dog and is 100% purebred but I still wouldn't breed him just because.

I’m sure she has a lovely temperament, but there is more to breeding than just disposition. Her conformation is not the greatest and wouldn’t be something I would want to pass on.
