Hi Thomas, don't wanna take sides as I'm not too familiar with Florestan and his offspring. The Bänderproblem concerns the ligaments- whether true or not.
I just would like to comment on your argument that colour and certain other dispositions aren't linked. As far as I'm into genetics there do exist links between genetic dispositions, e.g. canter and walk. According to the information given, there are are couple of stallions, that seem to throw different types and qualities depending on the colour. De Niro, Gotthard for sure etc. The recent discussions/ research in equine genetics investigated the possibility of genetic dispositions concerning ocd and the extent of hereditary diseases. So I wouldn't bet on that horse.
