Air Support died in India and someone commented on that article "we need to stop sending American stallions to those hellholes". The horse died after being attacked by bees and I thought to myself "riiight cause no horse has ever died in the USA from a reaction to a bee or hornet sting"

I'm really surprised they had reserves, Calumet horses usually sell without them.

The reserves are surprising. Most of these boys sold for a lot more than I figured they would (not because I don't think they're worth it). So now I have to wonder if sales will be done privately or if they'll decide to retain.

He's a well made horse, it's too bad his stallion record is just so-so.

Wasn't sure where to post this but may be of some interest
4 Into Mischief QH fillies coming up for sale

Side note - no wonder the AQHA supports slaughter. Look at the 2nd dam's produce records. One had *44 foals. Another 33 starters so god knows how many foals. Nothing like abusing the embryo transfer rule :roll:

I think he has fertility issues. He's a ridgling, which may be a factor.

I don't follow AQHA but I read the embryo transfer rules sometime last year. I thought the rule was only one embryo per transfer? I guess I must have misunderstood the article I read, as 2 of the Into Mischiefs in the sale are out of the same mare born 7 days apart. I found an article on AQHA's site that said "if your mare is fertile enough you could get 10 foals a year". Mares aren't supposed to be having litters. Another article said, they can also freeze the embryos for future use, so I guess they could flush her everytime she could get in foal for a year, freeze them and then implant a TON of mares the next year. I suppose though, if they are flushing 4+ out a year and they get one good one that is all that matters. The others can get on a van to Mexico or Canada. Really disgusting.

loads of them end up in match racing barns as well which might also be considered a death sentence. i mean, even champion Trump My Record ended up racing in match races (and dying following one of them). makes me wonder how many of these "not so fast" foals also end up in these barns - and either dead on a bush track or also slaughtered. :(
i like plushies. a lot.
