Actually, it’s all true…if someone cares they can look up the thread. It was regarding linebreeding IIRC and you were holding forth with your expert opinion on how ill-advised it was, and how terrible the outcome would be.
When I presented many, many examples of how it can (and is) used successfully as a breeding tool, you proceeded to expound on how uninformed and ignorant I must be to think such a thing…how could ANYONE possibly disagree with you?
You seemed so firm in your opinion, that I began to push for info on why you felt so confident. Turns out you took some course in biology/genetics in college. But you are not/were not a breeder, you have never ridden competitively at any significant level, nor have you trained a horse to compete at a significant level, nor have you worked or been involved professionally in the horse world.
When I pointed this out in the other thread, you proceeded to trash my stock, both of whom have been evaluated by those with far more credentials than you to be quite nice in quality. Olympic nice? Probably not. But pretty darn nice.
If any of this is untrue, please correct me. It is the internet, so I suppose you could lie, but honor system.
And yes, this IS a public board and everyone DOES have the right to express an opinion. Will not argue about that.
But for someone with no actual, valid experience to back up those opinions, they don’t carry alot of weight. Yet you are incredibly arrogant in your replies and responses to those who DO have some experience & knowledge.
Some of your responses are just flat out rude and belittling.
Like the one on this thread to Jackie Cochren, Bent Hickory and Cumano . I will not defend Bayhawk, as he has shown himself to be quite capable in that regard. ;):eek:
To my mind, this is kind of like some armchair QB telling Tom Brady how he should play the game.
I have my share of bad qualities, but dishonesty is not one of them. So by all means look up that old thread – be my guest. I will not say I can relate the posts word by word, but the gist is there.[/QUOTE]
Apparently you are dishonest, since much of what you have posted is not true. What I post here is based on “actual, valid experience”. I’ve already posted about my experiences and am not going to do it again just so you can misrepresent it. If you know me at all you’d know the horse I bred is an orphan, and I have answered questions about orphans here many times.
I have a bachelor of science degree in biology and took several genetics classes and worked for several years in research. I’ve posted about that before too, but no doubt someone on COTH will soon inform me that I don’t actually have a biology degree. :lol: You were advocating an appalling degree of inbreeding and I think used Nearco’s breeder in your arguments. This in spite of the fact that inbreeding is a model for creating lines rife with genetic defects and the fact that Nearco’s breeder backed off from using inbreeding later in his career (wonder why?). Nearco himself is not the product of close inbreeding. If you didn’t talk about Nearco’s breeder oh well. I’m not going to go look up some argument with you. An animal breeder is NOT necessarily someone I would look to for advice about inbreeding at all, considering what has gone on with dog breeding for example, to the detriment of many dog breeds.
From what I can tell you’ve bred a few horses and now think you are an expert. No, I am not a breeder, but one doesn’t have to be a breeder to know about horses, genetics, and breed history. In fact I’ve seen a lack of knowledge on those 3 subjects from some breeders on here. It’s kind of hilarious how those same breeders expect potential customers to bow down before them.
Over and out. There’s no point in reading your diatribes anymore.
