  • Belmont Brown?

    First, some old business. The results of last week's poll ("We Are Family") asked if/when a horse's female family influences your purchase decisions. Not surprisingly (you're reading a pedigree blog , after all), most of you said the family affects all purchase decisions, and the rest said it affects...

  • State of the Market: Mixed Bag

    In a recent poll, readers responded to the question " Do you anticipate fewer mares bred in 2008 due to the market downturn? " By a small majority, the answer was " No. " 28.95% of responses indicated "No, the market really isn't so bad," which was punctuated quite nicely by last weeks' record-setting...

  • Poll Update: Catalog Choices.

    A signifcant plurality of readers -- 47.62%, to be specific -- responded to my recent poll that the dam or female family is the most important "weed-out" data when examining a sales catalog. It's sure the way that I go myself. I actually keep a list of mares that I watch for each time a new catalog comes...
