Stats First Goodbar is NN (Negative) across the board for the 5 Panel and also NN for OLWS(Lethal White Syndrome)
Genetic Specifics ~ What about all this "Five Panel Testing" going on? AQHA has partnered with University of California - Davis to provide genetic testing for stallions(or mares) with the 5 known genetic diseases that affect quarter horses(and paints and some other breeds, but we won't go there and confuse you just yet)
So, What are these diseases? I've added a link for specifics if you would like to dig deeper than my description.
GBED, which stands for "Glycogen Branching Enzyme Deficiency" Syndrome. If you have a carrier, as he is, they show no signs, and have no symptoms or issues to deal with at all. But, the problem arises when you breed two carriers together. Not all the time, but sometimes when tow carriers are bred together it makes it difficult to conceive, which is a good thing, as if the foal is brought to term it unfortunately does not have the proper genes to process glucose, or sugar, and they won't live.

Herda mainly affects the Poco Bueno line, and is linked to line/in breeding that was seen many years ago. Affected horses are missing a link that "glues" the skin together and the skin of the affected horse is loose and tears easily. These horses are usually euthanized and not capable of leading a pain free life with the condition. Think of it like having skin draped over the body with nothing for it to hold onto. It moves around and slides and can rip and tear.

It is a disease that even a single carrier can exhibit symptoms and some go along without any issues. If the horse has a line that goes to Impressive that is tested NN, it means they do not and can not carry even one copy of the disease. If they go to a line that is NH, that means they can or might carry a copy and be a NH horse themselves. CB has no impressive in his pedigree to worry about HYPP at all.
