It seems to me that at least 50%, (or more), of the genetics that make up a foal come from the mare. Yet I never hear anything about quality control of mares from any of the countries. Only the stallions. (Yes, I realize the stallion can be responsible for many foals in one season, whereas the mare only one in a season. But that one should be the very best it can be.) Judy
