North American Sport Horse Breeder

"Kathleen Kirsan's first book, North American Sport Horse Breeder, is the most important book for breeders of horses in any disciple--including western horses, stock horses, Arabs, the Olympic disciplines, racehorses and even dog breeders.

"It is the only book of its kind for sporting horse breeders who want to learn how to read, analyze and understand horse pedigrees--how to begin to understand our own horses genetic makeup--how to choose genetically suitable stallions for our mares--how to breed top broodmares and stallions--and how to recognize which stallions have great producing powers.

"The most important question for any breeder is: How do I choose the right stallion for my mare?

"This book outlines the answers to this question using the scientifically proven methods of the pedigree experts.

It examines the pedigrees of some of the superstar sires and performers of the past and our time--and how we can use these examples as roadmaps to construct our own matings using the methods of linebreeding to superior sport ancestors.

This book examines the important TB sport lines which all our horses have, and how to utilize these for our benefit.

This book changed my life and the entire direction of my breeding programme. I am forever grateful to Kathleen for this and urge other breeders to take advantage of the opportunities presented in this book and all her future books."
