Look up Colonel Vuillier and the botanist Hugo de Vries’ work on saltationary evolution to understand why dosage came about.
The point is you cannot deny that some horses are bred to jump, whether that’s through their pedigree, or was the intention when the breeder made the mating decision.
I’m sorry as an earlier post alluded to this is a total fallacy no horses are bred to jump. Jumping is totally unatural to a horse and its something that a wild horse will never do and has to be taught. Horses are bred for longer distances, but certainly not to jump!
Sorry to be a bit pedantic
There’s pedantic and there’s wrong.
These horses ARE bred to jump, that is the intention of those that breed them! You hear such things as "blah blah bred Best Mate", they bred them to jump.
Whether or not it is natural is a different, and pointless, discussion.

Maybe the owners of these increasingly lucrative (as they can cover mares all year round) jumping stallions should have to register their stallions as jumping stallions (for a fee) and the horses by those stallions would be eligable for bumpers? Could also help combat their rancid prizemoney.
I think it makes you less likely to go spotaneously, in a "what shall I do this weekend" situation, if you know you could have got the tickets much cheaper earlier. Surely plenty of racegoers operate in this spur-of-the-moment fashion, rather than planning their days out well in advance?
was wondering can you name any 5yr old NH horse by Montjeu that won a race in GB or Ireland since January 1st?
Not really, because i barely follow breeding on the jumps. Having said that, havent seen too many montjeus on the jumps but isnt there one at kings stable?
Just two could be Moskova and Ned Ludd.
