I just wanted to point out that most of the breeding you're  stating here is old and generations down.  Most, if not all quarter horses and paints come from a small handful of horses.  Little Joe, Old Sorrel, King, Three Bars (which is a thoroughbred).  If you are going to look for specific breeding to throw out, most horses of todays age come from one or most of what you have stated down the line.  And most PMU mares are percheron or draft breeds, not paints and quarter horses.  There is only a couple farms that have quarter/paint horses they use.  I would say they are using those breeds for PMU for better adoption possibilities of the foals.

Just to name a few. You are naive if you think that ALL PMU babies find homes
and none end up in the 'kill pen'. I believe there are upwards of 30,000
produced in Western Canada alone each year. I don't really find the relevance
of saying that Paints and QH aren't over-produced compared to Arabians. If
anything I would say it is the opposite where I live...most PMU mares have some
QH or Paint in them, NOT Arab. And I think that the whole 'en vogue' thing you
mentioned probably has a lot to do with why these bloodlines have found their
way into the PMU barns and the massive overproduction.
