In 1989, petitioners purchased three breedings from Mr.
Minter’s stallion, Bochica Tres, for a total of $8,000. Bochica
Tres has been a “top-ten stallion” many times. However, the
foals produced as a result of these breedings were all
unsatisfactory and eventually sold at or below the cost of
Bochica Tres’ stud fee.
In 1994, petitioners began using one of their home-foaled
horses, Sindicato de Norco, as a breeding stallion. Although he
sired two foals, neither foal met petitioners’ quality standards,
and Sindicato de Norco was gelded in 1997.6

mares through and including the years at issue is summarized in

6Since 1996, petitioners have used El Ni�o Cisco de Norco as
their herd sire. In 1997, petitioners began using transported
semen from well-known paso fino stallions to inseminate some of
their mares.
