Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | What would you like to see this horse able to do by the beginning of their 3 year old year? What are things that would catch your attention about this horse at a sale, like the LG Pro Classic Sale? Any and all thoughts appreciated :) |

Location: Midwest | I'd like one saddle broke (wtc), loads, stands nicely for vet/farrier, clips, ties, and is overall quiet. It's a nice plus if they have been exhibitioned or hauled to barrel races to see the sights.
I'd even buy one that wasn't broke or really green if I liked the horse and the pedigree.
I've never been to a sale but this is my general "likes" for a 3 yo so take this for what you will lol |

Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | What about reining ability at that point? What should they know at begining of 3 year old year? Walking, trotting, loping around the barrels.....or is that too soon? |

Location: Wearing a winter coat...... | It depends. If I am buying one for futurity purposes then I want them slow loping or trotting around a set. Nothing fancy just correct. Broke nice and correct also. Now if I am buying one without wanting to futurity it then I am flexible. Heck, I have a 3 year old just getting broke now...... I do think if you want to get the most money at the bigger sales then having them started good is a plus. They will be in with a whole slew of prospects who are doing that so you don't want them out classed :) |

I would want one giving to pressue. Breaking at the poll and moving off my legs. Trotting the barrels is a plus to a lot of people I think.
I would also want them to be balanced. As in can lope a circle without scrambling, can bend when asked, isn't bracy. |

I would only want them trotting or loping a set of barrels if they could break at the poll, move off legs, transition b/w w/t/c well with seat/minimal bit, etc. I would not want them on the pattern at all if they weren't there. |

Location: In a happy place | I kind of just did. I bought a 3 year old that was in the BBR sale this spring. He didn't bring what they wanted and so they took him home. I bought him the next day. He is what the other people have listed. Ties, loads, rides good in the trailer, can handle his feet easily, he loves a bath and drinks out of the water hose while taking his shower, will come running to me when I call him from the pasture and oh he eats real well too lol. They had hauled him to a few places away from home. He can lope a nice smooth pattern and has a nice handle. Just fyi I would buy another from these people any day. Should I have bought him? Probably not but he is the first thing I have see that wasn't priced over the moon that I have liked in probably 6 or 7 years. Just didn't feel like I could pass him up. |

I guess it depends on when the colt was started.
The horse could very well have nearly a year understand saddle and if so id expect it to be pretty far along, but if its only got 30-60 day juist basic walk trot lope stop. Regardless i would expect a nice calm managible horse, willing and one that appears to like what they are doing with a go getter type additude.
At sales (ive never been to barrel one but lots of cutting / cowhorse) I like to go early walk around the stalls, watch my picks get saddled and warmed up. I think behind the barn tells you nor about the horse than the sale preformance |

You know I am computer illeterate I cannot for the life of me figure out how to post pictures. So Ms Jennifer I will text you a picture and you can post it for me if you wish. Sorry guys I wish I could post them. I will also send you one of him on my back porch. He thinks he should be with me at all times.
He is by On A Gator by Dash Ta Fame...On A Gator's dam is a daughter of On A High.
The colt's dam is Runnin Jamie by Runaway Winner and Runnin Jamie's dam is a daughter of Jim J.
Oh and when he plays in the pasture he can flat fly. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | I want one that moves forward willingly, in a balanced manner and stops the same way. Soft in the bridle without dropping behind the bit or overbending. Knows to move away from leg pressure. The beginnings of lateral movements are a plus. That's where my young mare was after 60 days as a 3 year old and is my favorite point to take over their training. I prefer to do the refining and installing of more advanced movements in addition to starting the pattern myself. |

I'm not sure. He is really starting to grow on me. You wouldn't believe how easy he has been to break. I may keep him for myself. We are breaking 3 two year olds right now and I am contemplating putting one or two in the LG sale. They are the Alazoom, the Minnie Coup de Dash filly and the Miss Splash Bug colt. I have never been to that sale and am curious about what a barrel racer would want to see a just turned 3 yo doing at that point. |

| I like the idea of the LG sale. By the numbers it is the best option for quality horses. And people are there to actually buy a horse, not just look. The more bells and whistles the horse has the better the price for you. I would just keep them going at whatever speed they can handle until the sale. If that means walk in a circle or slow lope the pattern I think the effort put into the horse until the sale will really pay off. |

Totally agree. I would add that it is really important to have your colt in halter shape for the sale. Pretty and fit and broke sells. |

Thank you for posting pictures for me. He is a hoot!
If you are wanting to sell a colt in the sale just make sure he is sale ring fit. They had this colt on the ADM feed ..... I can't remember the name but I will look at the sack and tell you. You don't feed much of it and I think she said it was mainly rice bran? And also had him on alfalfa. She told me they didn't even blanket him.
I think so many people "think" they have one shined up and looking snazzy but when they get to the sale they turn out looking like shaggy butts compared to the really fit ones. I really don't know how to go about getting one that pretty. I'm sure you can find someone that knows how to tell you what to do. I'm not usually too impressed with the "foo foo" horses at the sale but I do like to look at them. This colt just traveled so nice and seemed to be gentle it wouldn't have made any difference what his hair coat looked like.
Wish I could be there to help you!

I think as popular as Schorcho is the ads would get you more interest.
