Well, I have a gorgeous registered APHA (breeding stock) mare that I’d LOVE to breed to SC. (I have two of his granddaughters that I adore!)
However, the mare is quite the b%*#ch when she wants to be, and I shudder to think what kind of personality the foal might have with the two of them as parents! :lol:
The QH registry started out in 1940. At the time, “grade” mares (usually Arabian, morgan or Tb) could be entered into the books… they didn’t get a #, but the foals did. It was a little harder to get a stallion into the books, but not impossible. In the 1960s (late-ish) they cracked down a bit more on that.
Three Bars (1940-1968), his stud fee in 1966 was $10,000.00. There are some standing for more now, but with inflation, I’d say it’s probably still one of the highest stud fees for a “QH” stallion 
Shining Spark for instance, stood at that fee until 08. Hollywood Dunit was right around their too, and this is 40 years later!!
