Questions for fellow Racing Stock Breeders

[Horsechronicles12]

You haven't checked recently then because I have over 100% pastures (unmowed). I haven't mowed them in a while and all the ones I use for racing DEFINITELY do not got mowed.

I apologize, I realized that many of the pastures are short because of the number of horses in them, not because you mowed them. That was my mistake.

However, I still only see three pastures where the grass is at 100%, and even in those the horses that are at high strung are on 100% weight gain or performance mix. If you have a horse at high strung that has not been eating performance mix or weight gain mix I would be very happy to be directed to it.

I'm sorry for getting a little upset. You are right, ALL my horses are on Weight Gain. That's just because I like them to eat but some aren't mowed

No, it's totally alright! I realize that I may have sounded very accusatory and I apologize for it. I'm glad we cleared it up.

Hi,
I have some questions.
I am currently breeding racing stock foals.
All of my mares have the temperament of high-strung and I have been breeding them to stallions who are also high strung.
Some of the foals are born calm and then the temperament changes to bombproof...which is not what I want at all.
I'd like to know more information on how to maintain the right temperament (high-strung) for foals.

-Should I keep them in a pasture or a barn? both
-What should I feed them? in a barn=100% yellow corn in a pasture=100% peformace mix
How long should I keep them in pasture or barn? pasture= lifelong barn only before races
-Is it adjustable if they are born bombproof? sometimes
-if they became bombproof can that be changed? yes with feed
-at what age should I start training to avoid the temperament from going bombproof? about 5 months
-Do I need to change feed when training? no

Any Advice and info to help improve my stock is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

P.s. Here is some of my potential racing stock colts if you want to take a peek.
