I'd like to hear the opinions of forum members past and present on their thoughts about the evolution of the breed in both gaits.
In regards to pacers, I personally think we started to go backwards on the world stage in the seventies and the trend has continued, I'm unsure how many current forum members were around when Aust/NZ pacers started going to the US in the sixties and pretty much belted the septics up.
I think our breed has suffered from too many US stallions and the virtual obliteration of the Globe Derby line, people will pull out stats to disprove me I'm sure and I have heard a thousand times how our breed is "catching up".....catching up to our past I suspect.
Would love to hear what others think.
Cheers,
Dan
