I am not breeding JUST to see what I get but for my own personal horses and for a few friends who just adore this horrible cross and want one. I don't breed on a large scale, in fact I have no foals this year.
There is no guarentee even with purebreds with papers but this has been talked about already before so I am not going to open that can of worms again.
I love my registered cross, and that is all that matters.
