| I am so excited, I am going to a sale soon, and have been trying to find my next project horse. Based on bloodlines alone, which are your favorite. Looking for a barrel prospect, and just an all around performance horse. I may work with it for a couple years, and then sell it, so I want good bloodlines to help with the resale value. Please put them in order from best to worst. Thanks!

Location: Montana | Of the choices you put out there, here is the order I would put them in from favorite to least favorite on bloodlines alone (on the list, for me 3 and 4 would be interchangeable depending on how I liked the horse and how he looked):

Location: Where I am happiest | My husband used to own Smart Lil Whiz. That is a colt who fell through the crack due to no fault of his own.We sold him as a just turning 2 , and ended up reposessing him winter of his 3 yr old year. He should have went to the snaffle bit futurity, he was that talented. My husband still regrets selling that colt.
I came back to add. I just typed his name into google and watched a video. Looks like they had the kids riding him and he came dull and unbroke but I dont doubt the talent he had, he was born with and is still there underneith it all.

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | On the second one, Stallion... Perks Firewater Flit belongs to a board buddy on here. I cant remember her name right off..  Ok I was thinking hard but I think her name is Chelsea Tanner maybe, but I think she got married and living in OK now adays. I'm thinking her board name is Circle C, but I could be wrong

Location: Gainesville, TX | To me in quality, #1 & #2 are the best, esp. if you are thinking resale. I'm not a huge fan of the bottom side of #2 but PFF is a solid barrel sire. The Hollywood Dun It on #1 had me jazzed but that one has a lot of nice foundation lines up close top and bottom. Honestly, even though I prefer running blood, that's probably the one I'd be taking home, Smartlilwhiz.
The rest of them, esp 3 & 5, meh. |

Those are my top 3 as well, based on pedigree. I would look at the actual horses before ranking them tho. The last 2, I wouldn't look at. The one with Jessie James twice fairly close on the top side would make me run due the possibility of being a bucker. LOL |

Location: Where I am happiest | Treading on thin ice here. Here is the video of the PFF Firewater Hustlr. It took alot to guide him outside but that can be fixed with training. However what I really didnt like about him the most is he's a trashy mover and paddles something terrible.

A lot of FWF horses have more knee and hock action than what I consider desirable, but they seem to clock anyway. |

Location: Oklahoma | I know this is not what you asked, but quite honestly, I've been buying and selling horses for 40 years, and a sale like this is usually not the place to buy a prospect. I have not had very good luck with sale horses. Through the years I've found that they are usually at a sale for a reason (not always....but a lot of the time) and the really nice ones usually go for more than I want to pay and the mediocre ones often go for more than they would if sold other ways. I've had a lot better luck just buying from individuals because then I can ask all the questions I want, ride the horse if I want, and make a more informed decision. JMO
Edited to add: The only one I'd be interested in on bloodlines was the PFF horse, but after watching the video, he wouldn't be what I'd want unless I could get him REALLY cheap, and I doubt he'll go that cheap. He's just not broke enough for what I want to put on the barrels.....although I've owned a PFF and they ARE athletes. I don't like how badly he paddles, but Seabiscuit paddled, also, and look what he did. ;)

Location: home for the winter...what a dumb idea | It really depends on what stile of rider you are......I personally would go with #2 . #1 has to much Hollywood Dun it they look great and are almost always a nice color but from my expericne they lack heart. Pocos are imo hot headed and very sensitive . well worth it if you can get along with them |

I took it as she wanted one to run barrels plus other western events, so I guess it depends on what she's looking for most |

| Of these, I'd go #1. Not really a fan of PFF, especially with that bottom side. If it had a running bottom, I'd probably like it more, but PFF just doesn't sit high on my list. |

| I have a daughter of Dun It With A Whiz she is also double bred Poco Bueno on the bottom side. She is as wide as she is tall and a true athlete with grit. She was a solid 1D horse and could stand up on any ground. My parents raised some Poco Bueno bred horses and I used them for everything all the ones we had were very user friendly and I used them in every event you can think of. My mare is a bit of a nut but really think that came from the reining trainer she was with before. |
