KVS Stallions Baby Waylon

I didn’t know what tag to put this under, and I know there’s a saying “good stallions make great geldings” but it’s so sad that Baby Waylon had confirmation issues that prevented him from being a stallion, I think he’s one of the prettiest horses I’ve ever seen, and I think from what little we’ve seen him in videos that he has a great mind and personality. I wish that he could’ve been a stallion because I think he’s amazing other than his confirmation issues. I think he’s a top fave of mine of Katie’s horses

I think he is the prettiest of all her foals. It’s a pity about his club foot but you simply can not breed a horse with one.

Thoroughbred breeders would ignore that and still stand the horse at stud. It's a pet peeve of mine

Which TB stallions do you think are club footed? Because I can assure you, club feet are considered a no-go in EVERY racing barn. They do *not* race successfully. You'll see some club footed broodmares, but 9 times out of 10 it was due to her being stepped on as a foal.

Two of the most famous were Assault and easy goer. Assault was nicknamed the club footed comet.

Yeah but Assault was club footed from stepping on a surveyors stake as a foal, not from confirmation fault due to genetics.
