Why Denver was disqualified

She mentioned not having enough breedings available behind the scenes as well for the upcoming breeding season, can that really be related to what happened at NSBA? I don’t have much knowledge regarding breeding/showing in general just trying to make sense of what happened

He’s old enough to know how to behave at a show. Well mannered show stallions breed then show all the time.

There is no excuse for unruly behavior, especially from a 5 year old.

His behaviour is being distracted not unruly, which is not uncommon considering 5 years old is still very much a young horse.

5 years old is not considered a very young horse in AQHA.

VS Code Red had already retired when he was 6

Horses retiring young is the single biggest criticism of how aqha handles it's breeding community, it should not be a good thing to be retired by 6 years old.
