The Most Influential Foundation and Impact Mares
Researched and written by Joy Poole OAM
Once again these eight mares selected themselves by the numbers of descendants they now have in the Australian Stock Horse Stud Book. The Foundation and Impact rules apply as for the stallions, with the only difference being that mares need 500 descendants within three generations to be deemed Foundation or Impact Mares.
Obviously there are many great horses that do not appear in these stories, but many of those would be descendants of these great horses. There are also other very strong lines that did not have the current numbers to be in this elite group.
It will be interesting to note at the 50th Anniversary of the Australian Stock Horse Society, how these bloodlines are progressing.
