I personally do not breed anything that does not have quality siblings. Also why would all his colts need to be gelded? Where there not any of quality to maybe use as studs? And then if they were not of quality why was Dusty still used?
Lisa: I don't believe the question of quality is at issue here. It is the [problem] of overusing one particular bloodline, and hence narrowing the gene pool. If all of Dusty's brothers and sons were kept and used as stallions, soon there would be so many related horses that it would start to become difficult to find something UN-related to breed to. And that is just why you don't want to keep every colt of a certain cross, regardless of quality, as a stud.
