‘ We had a few reasons why we decided to breed Cygnet to the Quarter horse sire , Almora QP Double Doc ,’ Paul says . ‘ Firstly , his great performance record spoke for itself , and he was a lovely type of horse . Double Doc was also one of the few Quarter Horse stallions that had been ASH registered , at the time . Cygnet was an extremely athletic but sensitive mare and we felt that the Quarter Horse influence would really help in producing more trainable athletes . Double Your Money was very much like his dam as a young horse ,
