| I have not had experience with the get, but I have been in the stall with Walk Thru Fire, and seen him handled. He was DROP dead georgous and a total sweetheart. Seemed to be a great minded horse. If I came across one of his offspring I would def consider purchasing. |

A friend of mine has an own daughter... She was super fast and free runner. Really really smart too. 1D and futurity winner until a career ending injury. I have no doubt that horse would have made an awesome rodeo horse. I would love to have one if they were in my price range. |

Location: Desert Land | I don't think very many have made it in to the hands of barrel racers with his stud fee being what it is. But I do know of 1 a friend of mine had that was really coming on and she sold her for a pretty good chunk. WTF is just 10 miles from me and he is a neat horse.

Location: Kansas | Amy Prather near Wichita KS has a WTF son that has quite a performance record at big barrel races and at rodeos. He's been off most of this year due to injury but had a really great year in 2014. Like Fire is his registered name. I want to say they were in the top end of the 1D and Derby standings on the Barrel Bash tour last year. |

Location: Ft Worth TX | I have a son of WTF and out of Artesia by Timeto Thinkrich- and you could not ask for a better horse. Most solid horse from the start of hauling. He was entered 8 times and was landing top of the 2D on nights arena records were set without ever trying. his last run was his fastest and he injured his stifle and is just now coming back. HES AMAZING!

Isnt he a sweetheart!!! He never acted like a stud. He loved people. Course last time I saw him he was standing at Moon Lake in LA. |

They had another 3 year old WTF in the stall next to her. 1/2 hand shorter and grey, but identical look and conformation. I could have taken most the barn home with me if my checkbook would have let me! |

Ours didn't have all that chrome, just a big "heart" in the middle of her forehead. But build wise, identical! |

I ponied her out there so she could run around while I got my other mare ridden. Spent the first 45 minutes sitting on my horse staring at her and taking pictures. The sun started to set and I thought Oh crap! I still have to ride! |

Well I can certainly see why, she's breath taking! If she were at my house my hubby would probably be feeding her alfalfa by hand and wanting to get her 24 karat shoes. LOL He might leave me for that girl. |

She's very nice! I'm very happy to hear how well they're doing on barrels.
We put the first "off track" rides on her this weekend. She has the most willing and easy-going mind of any I've gotten off the track. Within 30 minutes she was flexing and giving to the bit. Picked up her leads naturally both directions and loped around on a loose rein. Had I not watched her race a week ago I would have never believed she came off the track. |
