Kaschmir's first get - Mendlessohn - has just started his training, this very athletic horse was being broke to ride - bare back and is now under saddle. He has been ridden bare back in the herd with just a halter - a compliment to Kaschmir's temperament which he passes on. Kaschmir's foals, to date, will all be taller than their dams. He has thrown 4 chestnuts out of chestnut mares, 2 bays out of bays, a paint out of a paint, and an appaloosa out of an appaloosa, and a gray out of a gray. One of the chestnuts may gray. How potent is Kashmir? His semen has a phenominal 90% plus motility with enough semen in one collection to inseminate 30 to 60 mares depending if using fresh, or frozen or extended cooled! How many live sperm is that: an estimated count of 40 billion plus in 55 cc's of volume. And that was his first collection of 1998; it gets better as he breeds!
