I trust Hall of Fame Horsemen like Rodney Jenkens and my own personal experience when disputes such as these arise. For instance, I have a mare at the barn that has one light colored hoof and it is smaller than the rest. She also has a wierd fungus that comes up on the back of her heel on that foot every fall. And she is not the only example. There are a lot more, but I'm too lazy to type them up

It's just like some people argue that horses lower their head down to the ground to figure out what an object is at a long distance away. This is actually published in books such as The Horse Industry Handbook. Almost everyone who works with horses knows that this isn't the case and that horses actually raise their heads to look when something is spooking them at a distance.

Funny enough, I just heard Storm and a Half was sold to a Kentucky farm for 7 figures. I believe its Hill N Dale... i'd imagine it will be released in a few days.

Thats a lot of money for an unraced stud. The dam produced a very nice
race mare named Lu Ravi. One of favorite fillies who was trained by Carl Bowman. I guess now he will be getting better quality mares than what he got in Arkansas

Another good Poly sire from what I've seen is Cat Thief. The Storm Cats seem to really take to the carpeting.
