Well down 2 more bunnies, found a pet home for Alena and terminally culled her son Luke. fortunately have other bucks and lots of does. But Luke definitely had a severely split penis, bad enought he was peeing all over himself . so definitely from Alena's line..... now I have 2 of her daughters and 2 granddaughters, 1 grandson as keepers.... decisions, decisions.... too much of a softy to terminally cull them all. The does are showable.... wish I could find more solid information on the genetics and inheritance of it. At least in bucks it seems either they have it or not. I am torn if Winston had it.... maybe he was injured.... definitely a possibility after I attempted to breed Holly. Or maybe it's so prevalent within the breed that they both carry it. Just no one talks about it... 
here is my favorite from Naomi's litter. Definitely a broken gold tipped blue steel. he develops normally. His ears and type are awesome. Ears are 14.75" at 9 weeks 3 days.

Meet "Jin" short for Magician . Another horse from my Mom's downsizing. He is a 12 year old morgan/mustang. A well spoiled boy, who really
needs to learn manners. But is quiet under saddle for trail rides just needs miles. He loves and seeks attention so am really hoping we can bond and come to an understanding.

How handsome! I know split penis was an issue in Holland lops but it seemed that Not every one carried the gene. I would ride it out and see honestly. You have worked too hard on growing your herd and they are too nice and well put together to be able to afford that sort of set back. If they start throwing the gene then assess it at that point is my opinion.

That's pretty much what I have decided to do. Hopefully it can make more shows soon. Thanks for the kind words.
Got another tie post set yesterday, so hopefully Jin will behave on Thursday for his trim now that I can cross tie him.
And hoping to ride him this week too.
Garden is cleared and ready for winter.
Not sure I am ready... have been enjoying our mild fall so far. Suppose I just need to sucks it up and accept winter will be here soon.

Jin got his hooves done today. I had yet to even clean all 4 as he would just spin around my tie post.... 
he is tall enough to go on forever.... So my lovely husband 
and I put in a 2nd post and the rings so now we have a cross tie. Continuin ground work for now. He is still acting like a yearling without manners.... as I said very well spoiled. Acts as he would climb on your lap when spooked. 
Glad he likes people but there's definitely no respect. But is getting better. Definitely needs miles and time.... hoping I can figure a way to have a trainer to put 30 days on him. I can do it.... but know I lack the time and patience for what he really needs. I haven't had the opportunity to ride him but had seen him at the state park. He looked great then. But he definitely is not completely broke, needs confidence and a better base. Get the feeling some steps were skipped. Oh and farrier definitely feels he has foundered though has recovered at this point. I knew my Mom was worried about that, though I didn't know he actually had. Good thing we have several dry lots and plenty of grass hay.
a good example Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
