    Stallion selection

    If my mares dam was a good broodmare does that mean that chances are my mare will be pretty good? If I breed her this spring as a 5 yo for the first time is it more risky if I use a larger stallion? Example my mare would be about 15.2hh <never measured her> but she isnt the heaviest horse...

    What do you prefer?

    Mares or Geldings? Let the arguement begin :lol: In general I find Mares smarter, more sensitive. They tend to give you more heart. Geldings tend to be more consistant. I find the tails tend to come up on my Mares when they get around new geldings.

    Question for barrel girls

    My colts are pretty good in the mud but I have to really admire the way them barrel racers can turn a barrel at speed in a foot of mud. How do you get them so solid in the mud? Is it a gradual thing over years of raceing on different footing?

    Western Canadian Wheat Board

    Since it looks like we are getting rid of it, what are your oppinions? My impression is that it was a good outfit originally but like all beaurocracys it got to big and forgot about its original mandate. I would say get rid of it. However since I get the impression that the Americans want us to...

    The longest-ever recorded kill by a sniper in combat

    Lying low beside the rifle, his stomach touching the ground, Cpl. Rob Furlong concentrated hard on his breathing. In, out. In, out. In, out. Deep, but not too deep. Slow, but not too slow. The tiniest twitch -- a heavy exhale, perhaps, or a breath held one second too long -- could jerk his...
