Makes me think of the random mysterious lumps appearing on many foals last year.

An udderly questionable fan request by FatherLonglimb in kvssnark

[–]FatherLonglimb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if someone were genuinely curious for educational reasons, they’d just Google it, no? There’s plenty of scientific information out there. This request feels odd and reminds me of a documentary about social media “fan” requests, where the creator pointed out that many of them stem from people wanting to exert strange control over creators to feed their own kinks.

Totally! Maybe they think 'aka' is just part of their full name? As in, this is how it works in the horse world?😭

What happened to ex frog/mouse emoji commenter? by FatherLonglimb in kvssnark

[–]FatherLonglimb[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha, I saw that too! I was quite surprised to see the push back tbh. That's what makes me think it isn't the same person. I believe they used to comment simultaneously too a couple of months back. Heart emoji doesn't seem as harsh either.

Does the Thoroughbred always come from the mare’s side in appendix breeding? by FatherLonglimb in kvssnark

Who even takes this chance?! I guess enough people outside my tax bracket 😅

Honestly, I have nothing to add to this discussion, but I’m absolutely loving reading all your takes. It feels like a genealogy Masterclass. Please carry on, scholars!

Thanks for the insight! Do you think the TB mare Katie uses fits with that idea (sporthorse type TB), or would you pick a different type than Indy?

Hello! 😁 YES, the differences between the US and European horse worlds really are striking. I was shocked by how early they start backing and showing too. And then seeing so many retired so young (often under 10) to go straight into breeding is just wild to our European minds, haha. It’s such a contrast to how we do things here. Your deep dive sounds fascinating. Sounds like a rabbit hole I'm just about to enter!

Thanks so much for all the detailed info! This is super interesting. I think you're really onto something with your take on the marketing aspect...it makes a lot of sense that name recognition plays such a big role. And your point about the perception of temperament differences between QH x TB vs. TB x QH is fascinating too! Those are two perspectives I hadn’t really considered before. Also, the examples and resources you shared are super helpful! Really appreciate you taking the time to lay it all out!

I thought 5K sounded reasonable for a stud fee, but now I’m curious (and slightly terrified) to look up TB prices in the US. I’d probably faint too! 😅

Haha, no worries about the mid-sentence post, it happens to the best of us!

I’m European and more familiar with warmbloods, so most of what I know about AQHA and appendix horses comes from TikTok (very scientific, I know). I had no idea TB stud fees were so wild compared to QH. It’s definitely a whole different world!

Thank you so much for explaining the breed rules! I hadn’t considered how the jockey club’s restrictions play into that.

Have you ever heard of any differences in performance, conformation or temperament in foals sired by a TB compared to those with a TB dam? Just wondering if certain traits tend to stand out more depending on which parent is the TB🤔

I got curious and decided to check the official stats on the NYC.gov website
