Well, this cross does show Pico Buenos on both sides of the pedigree, so in the absence of a test for HERDA there is some possibility that this condition could crop up. If the sire has lots of colts out there with no incidence of this condition, you are probably OK, although you could still produce a "silent" carrier. I haven't heard a lot of new info on HERDA lately.
Thanks Charlie. Your input is exactly why I asked!! Much appreciated.
Does anyone else have any comments? I also have another stallion in mind and would like to know if anyone has a good, bad, or ugly for the combo with him as well.

The mare again is Fair Sugaring (AQHA) and the 2nd stallion would be:

Quite the Reflection (AQHA) his pedigree is available here on the site.

Thanks for any input.
I always hate it when I don't have a persons name to address.

First, it depends on what you want out of the resulting foal?

SMOKES DUDE: One of my favorites. Having said that I don't think he got the quality of mares to him because of his color. Now that he is AQHA also...I think he's a little past his prime, but still a Paint favorite!

FAIR SUGARNIC: Haven't kept up with the cutters, refiners and working cow horses in the past few years...so I have no idea as to what her sire and dam have done or produced, and its really needless for me to do any further checking. Going on the pedigree from the Grandparents back...pretty darned well.
