I was looking through the sale horses today and there are many many horses that are not free tested. Some have pt scores and other tests but if not free tested they are certainly worth less to a potential buyer. I woukd have bought several but I won't buy unless tested. The free testing is really essential for breeding stock. If they don't pass they will not be good breeders and it's best to just bite the bullet and alter them. Thanks guys.

I was going to buy a 15k stallion, very nice... I was about to buy him but he wasn't free tested, it was really frustrating as I would've bought him :-/

I personally want them color tested too...I want to make sure not to double up on lethal genes that result in lost foals! I paid for a breeding on an unknown colored horse and ended up with a lethal foal....beginner mistake as I didnt even think about that!

Good point.

Yeah, color testing now costs only 100 hbs, not 2k as it used to... It's not a big amount of money.
