Ah... I see we are not signing our posts again. 

Just FYI, "spaded" is not a word the way you 
used it in your paragraph...   unless you mean 
the deed was done with a shovel?   

The reason I haven't joined the Appy distance 
program yet is because my App isn't *quite* 
ready yet... but my bones are all still intact 
(knock on wood) and I hope to keep it that way. 

After that point, it will depend on value to 
very limited dollars.

Regarding Marshall's response: You spay   the mare to get her registered , 
because she has unknown heritage,then she becomes an outstanding distance 
performer .She is now   spaded and can't have a foal. And ,here we are looking 
for proven horses to improve the bloodline....
This spaying/gelding rule is to prevent pintos, parrot mouths, monorcids, etc. 
from cropping up from unknown horses added to the gene pool. Yet, it is OK to 
have non-characteristic "Apps."   ( that Ain't no   APPALoOsa) shown in big 
circuit shows.
