"The 
old horse breeders always told me to "breed UP". That's always a hard 
decision when you have so much personal time, money, heart and soul 
into it. It's a breeding you can't take back. Time that is gone 
and can't be relived or redone. And you always want to do the animal 
justice. That's the 'hard' part of being a breeder. But the satisfying 
part of being a breeder, is that miracle(s) standing in front of you. 
The "proof in the pudding" that your studying, research, blood, sweat, 
and tears were all worth it for the perfect miracle(s) that resulted from
 those painstaking decisions. So many factors go into a breeding that 
not a lot of people realize or understand. Your hard work, dedication, and 
perseverance are completely evident and visible in your brood."   Michelle
