N/H is one normal gene and one positive gene. This, of course, is not as bad as both genes being positive for HYPP. My gelding never showed any signs of it,...
Why do "people" breed a bad genetic defect and why would a parent even think about one for their child? Melissa ... From: sharon huskey <huskey@...> ...
Well I have no idea why some folks insist on breeding theses horses other than $$$ But obviously they are wanting to unload somethign that is a liability......
The almighty dollar keeps the breeding alive. These horses are absolutley gorgeous!! Naturally muscular, and the ones I have dealt with have fantastic...

I am sorry if I sounded judgmental... I wasn't trying to be. I assumed because of the way your post was worded that you daughter was young. But on that note I...
My horse was diagnosed with COPD/heaves (now I think they call it RAD) over 10 years ago. He's been well-maintained on wet hay ... he picks the hay out of a...

Hello, I need some suggestions. I am going to be traveling with a foal (6 months) for about a 17 hour ride home. I was thinking of giving her a little gastro...

Gastro Guard would be a good idea. I'd also provide her with plenty of hay to munch on. A hay net is OK but hang it very high. Water that she is used to...
Good decision, if prospective buyers would stop buying these gorgeous creatures, perhaps the incessant breeding would stop. It's a shame that dollars trumps...
What the breeds needs to do is stop pinning these horses in the show ring so they aren't so desirable. There is a breeder down here that just keeps breeding...
The answer is simple, MONEY !!!! And you are sooo right, if the judges would stop pinning them.......if only. Back when I worked on the Paint breeding farm and...
I do not condone the breeding of hypp horses, but as the owner of a mare from the Impressive line who is N/N (or whatever the proper designation is for not...

I atteneded a Nutrene Feeds seminar this past week. The represetative said the halter people breed for this because the resulting muscle twitching helps to...
Margo, I have seen many N/N horses who had just as much muscle mass as their N/H relatives, so this really is a choice these breeders make. There are several...

Unfortunately Herda is unlike HYPP in that one copy of Herda causes no damage or ill effect to the horse at all. Only when 2 Herda carriers are bred together...
One of my parents best horses was an Impressive bred horse. She was N/N. She had Two Eyed Jack and several other halter, reining and racing in her blood....
I was on the HURDA list for awhile and they were telling stories about people that were breeding mares that have HERDA. The only way it is fatel is if you put...
