[QUOTE="lesvoth, post: 1525087, member: 100864"] My Six Thousand Dollar Rig There was a day when as a poor man, if you wanted a superior performance/racing/breeding horse, you bought a filly of decent lineage. Then you raised her. That's, two to three years. During those years you fed, trained and used her. Then, if you were lucky/fortunate, you made friends with the owner of a more/most superior stud. You might work for the man, do him legitimate favors, trade something of value with him. If the man was disposed to generosity, he may allow his stud to breed your mare. One year later - you are "maybe" looking at potential, maybe not. That's probably 3-4 years in now - if you're fortunate. If you were looking for a breeding stud you could profit from, and your mare had a filly instead - you need to repeat the process - which may take as long as the first. By the time you - might - have a superior stud others would pay money to breed, you could - if you kept the dream and didn't get discouraged - be looking at 10-12 years before you realized a single dollar. - You have had to dream the dream, do the research, make good choices, stay the course when it all falls apart, keep your motivation piqued to be able to spot ANYTHING useful to further your goal even in a torrential-rain-on-your-fire storm. Above all, you have to know when you've arrived. You can't do that when you're getting your head stomped by your neighbor's grade gelding while you're trying to get/steal a semen sample from "it" on a moonless night in his barn. None of us can know the path it took another to get to his destination. Searching - asking - without an opinion is among the clearest ways to get a sniff, though. [/QUOTE]
