Pepper's Pride booked to Tiznow

The choice of a stud is always intriguing to me. There are alot of factors that go into the decision, even gut instincts. Annually I do make the rounds in the winter for the open houses here in Kentucky because for some reason I feel I need to see the "daddy" of my babies. (My experience is limited as I have only bred seven times).

Tiznow is a very nice sire and yes maybe they got a really good deal. I have been amazed at some of the deals that were proposed to me during my rounds this winter. 25% and up to 50% reduction off the paper price were quoted to me for this season. Tough times abound.

IF it were my mare and IF I was looking to keep the baby to run I might be more inclined to have a better "paper match". However if I had intentions of trying to sell the baby I might go for a more "hot" stud like Tiznow.

Its all very intersting I think.
