I just got around to reading the Bloodhorse article on inbreeding, genetics, soundness, bone development, etc.  This shuttling is depleting diversity worldwide.

Taylor Made is allowing clients to use cryptocurrency to pay for breeding. I don’t get the whole crypto thing, but wasn’t there just a problem with crypto devaluing?

But then we have More than Ready who shuttled for years and is still going strong at 25 and he shuttled thru his 23rd year.

Am grateful for those who did well thru the yrs.  Just don't want our horses and those in other countries to take the risk.  Too precious.  If a few must, wish they could stay in that location for maybe 3 yrs. and then return to their original homes.  Since it is based upon money and deriving the most from the studs while they are producing well, it won't change and would not be logical to those farms to do so.

I did read that crypto has been devalued, but since I don't understand it anyway it matters not to me!

Hope is stays well.

Shuttling is bad enough, but I don’t like the shuttle to South America!

After what happened to The Lieutenant in Peru  (half to Justify)  I hate shuttling or even sales to certain parts of the world.   Around that same time tragedy struck in north africa also.  The Lieutenant's first offspring that I have seen have just debuted recently.  Bittersweet.

Thought you were sending me a results mess. about Cacahuete since it has not arrived in my equibase results yet.  Hope he did well at Belterra.  Will check it another way right now.

Blessings.

He finished 5th in an allowance race.
