Full-service breeding operation

We don’t just analyze great horses. We breed them.

Hard Six breeds its own performance horses and helps clients produce theirs. Our integrated program combines data-guided mating decisions, full DNA and genome analysis, in-house OPU, IVF and ICSI, and our own recipient-mare herd. We also offer select embryos, breedings and in-foal mares—everything needed to move from a better-informed cross to a healthy foal.

Price model validation

2025 Fall holdout: 493 sold lots; median absolute percentage error 38%; 42% within 30% of actual hammer. Training used earlier editions only. Sparse embryo and weanling results do not establish reliable type-specific accuracy.

Price centers use printed sale-time pedigree, age, breed, offering type, own race record, produce record and covering sire. Prior Fall breed/type distributions restore market price bands where sample sizes permit. Displayed band is midpoint ±15% (30% total width); it is a fixed display band, not a calibrated confidence interval.

Racing scores and commercial context

The yearling-model research rank compares the 212 QH yearlings: 30% general racing potential, 20% E90, 15% E100, 15% earnings potential, 10% reliable-starting probability and 10% pedigree confidence. The commercial-tab yearling comparisons describe pedigree market history; the mixed-stock estimate also uses age, own record, production and breeding status.
