| There are 2 young horses from his first foal crop(???) doing really well, incendiary ivory and sheza a maze James (sp) I just bought a 3 yr old. He has an amazing disposition and is super smart and athletic. He's out of a Runaway Winner mare. She's not your typical RW though. Super quiet and chill. One of my clients worked for a vet that collected Ivory and said he has an awesome mind and gentle personality. I'm super excited for my boy. Also, I havet seen IJ throw one ugly baby. They are beautiful! |

| Well now that I've had mine for a whole year I can honestly say I love everything about him. Smartest, easiest and truly one of the most naturally talented horses I've ever swung a leg over. He is NOT as far as long as he should be but that's totally my fault bc I haven't been consistent. Never forgets a thing though! |

Location: North Dakota | I have a 7 year old gelding right now. A friend is having me season him for a couple months. He is super personable to be around, laid back and just a total sweetheart. He came with an excellent start on the pattern, really powerful, self rating, big stride. If they all ride like he does, I may have to buy a barn full. |

| We have a really nice 4 year old filly. We've had some health issues due to a severe injury so she's behind. She's finally healthy and sound. Very good minded and easy going. Also have 2 yearlings that are really nice. Just really nice horses overall. |

| I have one. http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/classic+ivory
He ran AAA on the track. We have had him going slow for 2 years now. Mom has won a few races on him and he has a lot of natural rate and a great mind. Not to mention he is way good looking

| I bought an Ivory James from the heritage sale a few years ago. He was 4 when I got him with a speed index in the 90s. My opinion is a little different then most of the others on here. I loved him, but he was a handful! When I first got him it took a year for him to be able to go to a show and stand in the warm up pen. I give credit to his track history to his fractiousness, as his last race he was said to be fractious in the gate. During that year though, I patterned him and like everyone else has said, he took to the barrels fantastically! Within a few months he was running about a 1/2 sec off. Despite this though, he was difficult to slow work and could get worked up pretty easy. I sold him due to time constraints of vet school, and him needing more time then I could give. The guy who rides him now has done great with him!! They finished him out and he even had the fastest time of the weekend at a show that had over 800 entries. They said he still can go 90mile an hour and slow working is still hard for him, but his record kinds makes up for it. With this being said, I would take another one, as it seems most aren't fractious like he was and wow are they talented and pretty to boot! |

The race horses trainers love the male Ivory James. But they stay away from the fillies. The track guys I've talked with have said the fillies are lazy and don't have the fire that his colts do. All ours have been fillies. 5 total now, lol! That might explain your colt. |

Thanks, my mom did most of the training, I am just finishing him, seasoning more or less. He had 5 weeks off and I got on him in the parking lot at a race the other night just to ride around....never would have known he had ever had a single day off. So laid back and sweet. He is the only Ivory James I have ridden so idk if he gets that from his Dam or Sire. He does get excited when we are hauling a bunch, but he is not dangerous or ugly or counterfeit in any way. |

Thats really interesting. I love mares so that is what I gravitate towards but I think if I found an IJ I could afford I wouldn't care what it was. |

I really like Pappasito myself. The one I have is really beautiful. She may be too smart though. She's a big filly. I also like Furyofthewind. He produces really nice babies too. |

They are a lot alike. PYC has been priced out of what most barrel racers are wanting to spend. We've had a few PYC's too. As far as the track goes, his colts run better than the fillies (same with the IJ). Personality wise they throw similar. I think PYC throws more of a chest on his foals but both stallions produce very well. |

| I have an IJ 5 year old gelding I just bought in the Fall. He is the sweetest! He is very laid back, smart, and a gentle soul. He is big and beautiful! He is lightly started on barrels, but will get him going more at the beginning of May when college rodeos are done! |

I have a Coronas Leaving You that is a doll. She is out of a Stoli mare. She was riding really nice after her track career but I just bought her for a broodmare. Very sensible, easy going and loves people. |

| I've had several ivory James and pycs also rode a couple of other grand get corona fast dash, Sean Roy, and coronas prospect.
All very willing attitude and great to be around. Can get a little hot if your not careful. The pycs always seem to be a little stiffer in their turns. |

There are several Coronas Velvet offspring that are doing well in the arena. He is a Future Fortunes sire but doesnt stand to the public. They run well on the track so only a few have made it to the arena. |
