Not that it's any of your business, but I have been to Germany and have seen the type of horses they are producing in Holstein. Many of the stallion prospects that fail to be approved there are better jumpers than most of the young jumpers produced in NA. That is the reality of their breeding program: we can produce a few exceptional individuals but they are churning them out over there because their breeding program and philosophy are so much more sophisticated. European breeders use TB where appropriate to complement their mare base, and they are also more realistic about what is needed to improve their breeding stock.
