Location: Desert Land | I have been around 1 daughter - she's a little hot. I don't know if I can blame that on her sire as I haven't been around enough of them. |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | I have No personal experience with them. However, I have heard that they tend to be hot and a bit hard to deal with. I know several people that are in love with FWF horses, however they won't toloOuch one that is by ANF. |

Location: Texas | I have a barn full... or at least had! Just sold my two year old. I am down to my two geldings, ages 8 and 12. I obviously love and get along with the blood line. I think a lot depends on how they are raised, handled, and trained. I raised and trained all of mine myself. They can get nervous before a run, but not crazy or stupid. Not anymore than any normal barrel horse that has been running barrels the majority of their life. And if I had a dollar for every time someone tells me how beautiful my horses are and asks how they are bred I would be a bazillionair! |

| I've got two mares and just lost a good one. And I have an Easily Smashed/Count Giacomo mare in foal to him now. How is the one you are interested in bred on the bottom side? |

Location: Never in one place long | I just sold a full sister to Duke a few months ago, she was a nice little mare, built nice and ran a great pattern about ever time. She was a bit hot though and lived up to her name Firen! I owned her since she was a yearling and broke her out nice, slow and correct. She is the type that is ALWAYs on the go, I like horses that have energy though. She bucked the first couple rides then was good after that. She is a handful though, not for a beginner to ride. She can turn a set of barrels though and flat out fly on the trails. |

| I think one of the keys is to handle these babies alot when they are young. Mine are very business like and love to run barrels and appreciate light hands. Is the Dam a pretty good size?
Some people don't like Mr. Eye Opener because of Beduino. Some older people I know didn't like the Go Man Go in him I think. But this stuff is pretty far back on yours.
Duke is quite the handfull. And he's earned quite the handfull. He was also futuritied, (flame suit on),I have my own opinions about what that can do. |

You are SOOO right about this, VERY business like and always need LIGHT hands. I learned this with my mare. She was handled a lot as a young horse so was very friendly in that respect. She couldn't handle the futurity scene, we did on late one but didn't push her and she was a late bloomer. |

Location: Iowa | Have seen and ridden quite a few. I own a filly and love her.....very turny so you have to be careful and keep the turn opened up and try to pretend you arent really going for a turn.... lol. I have several friends that have either had one or have one now...and they are pretty fantastic!! Thats been my experience anyway. I have seen some advertised that I didnt care for tho!
