| I've ridden and run a lot of Doc O Lena bred mares. They are turners and you better have a good seat. Whether or not they have speed depends on what else they are crossed with, but that doesn't always matter with the turns they can pull out. |

Location: Central Montana | Agreed, depends on the cross and what you plan on doing with it, but, in general, I don't think you can ever go wrong with Doc O Lena. |

Location: North Dakota | Doc O'Lena is one of my favorite lines. They are athletes and many of them can downright scat! There have been many MANY top barrel horses that go back to Doc O'Lena. |

Location: Carpenter, WY | We have a DOL grandaughter and have crossed her on both cow and speed studs. Her 2 yr old gelding and yearling filly by Slim sold quickly. This is the mare we take into CFD every year because she is so gentle and the kids or novice can handle her with no problem. Her older babies they are mainly roping off of and have won all kind of trinkets on. Wonderful mare, built like a brick and absolutely no problems at all with her!!!

| Thank you. The man said horse is really nice and from the sounds of it the Bolton side is show and halter bred. |

| The quickest, cattiest mare we've ever had was a DOL mare. We're raising babies out of her now and they are showing to be just like her. She was a little hot, but I think it was because she had a lot of ambition and just wanted a job so badly. |

 Can You Hear Me Now?
Location: When you hit the middle of nowhere .. Keep driving | I have this guy, even though its further back this stallion is one of the best minded horses I have ever came across. Everyone who has one of his babies loves him as well and I have a standing order for more with repeat buyers. I finally gave up and said no to a ton of buyers wanting to take my 2 year old who I never wanted to sell. Even though Pep is so laid back he is cat like and I don't think a beginner could stay with him. His babies are taking after him a lot as well and even on my super hot mare the foal is so good.

Also like the poster above said look at Blazin Jetolena, hes certainly stamping his foals IMO.
My dad loved Blazin Jetolena and I actually have a contract for him on my desk to cross him on our favourite mare, but with everything going on I haven't sent it in yet, he was super excited about this cross. Her only foal with Pep was stunning and crossed on Blazin it should be super special and will be a keeper for sure. |

Location: NC | My DOL grandson is awesome. He's built nice and will lick the paint off a barrel. He's not a 1D horse (at least not with my fat butt) but he's as honest as they come. Level headed. Easy going. Just a nice all around horse. They're super smart horses. Which is good & bad. You have to stay a step ahead of my guy and he doesn't let you cheat. But as long as you do your job, he does his. I want more like him. I really really like his personality and laid back attitude. His turns are really nice too. Lots of natural rate and athletic ability. |

How about Doc O Lena on top and Poco Bueno on bottom? Likely not enough speed you think? |

Do o Lena bred horses ? Temperaments, minds, are they just cow horses or All around?
