She is smart, no buck, but did sull up for the first two weeks |

| LOVE LOVE LOVE mine, would own a whole barnful if I could. Mine is out of a Lone Drifter mare. She has way more personality then she knows what to do with and is very picky about her people and who she likes. Extremely smart, sometimes too smart, she gets annoyed being drilled if she already knows it. Mine is pretty free through the barrels and has been top 10 at a 350+ race along with earning money in her futurity year last year and derby money this year. I will see if I can pull up a few youtube videos if you want!
Edit to add videos: https://youtu.be/nudrgYeijyw (This run would have been I believe 7 or 8th in the 1D 350+ entries)
https://youtu.be/JYLMu8Xac14 (1D derby run)
Mine came off Potters ranch and has their brand. Just a side note I forgot to mention about mine she is hotter then heck! She is extremely on the muscle and is fighting me to go in and run I don't mind and she sure tries her heart out for me. I have her entered in the BFA Derby and next year will probably WPRA on her. I went slow the past 2 years with her and she hasn't once pulled up sore, shes extremely special and I want her to last. And she is short 14.3 maybe 15hh and 1200lbs shes about as wide as she is tall LOL

Location: "...way down south in the Everglades..." | I have a daughter that I just got this summer and I absolutely love this mare. She's sooo sane compared to most of the crazies I usually own. She's 4 and I'm just seasoning her as she had been started on the pattern when I bought her but had never been hauled or finished. She loves her job and truly wants to work. She's a gritty little tank too. I'm still letting her cruise through at her own pace and working on getting the turns and pattern down better, but she shows so much potential. I was just going to exhibition her this year but when my main one got injured I figured I'd just enter her for fun so at least I can still go to shows. She's already pulled some 4D $ without even being finished or asked for speed so that impressed me. I've watched her in the pasture though and she can turn on these crazy bursts of speed which I can't wait to experience on her. She's smart but a bit hard headed at times when she doesn't quite understand what I'm asking of her. Overall though she likes to work and likes to please. She's not an overly friendly mare but she's not mean or witchy either. The only complaint I have with her is non riding related in that she gets bad summer itch and just keeps breaking things by itching on them...but that's the only bad thing I can come up with about her so that's saying something! Otherwise she is just sane and solid and I only wish the others could be as nice as her. I'm really curious to see how she progresses in the next 12 months. I would highly consider getting another one down the road. |

Location: Beggs, OK | Ours was slow maturing physically, but made a nice horse. We sold her as a breakaway/heeling horse. I would have liked to have had a chance to play with her on the barrels, but couldn't turn down the money. |

Location: Willows, CA | We went the other way. My daughter has a mare that is out of a full sister to Dinero and by Paddys Irish Whiskey. She is the happiest horse to do what you want that I have ever seen. Big time speed too. |

Location: Bandera, TX | Thank you all! I saw a pretty yearling filly at an up-coming auction. Her bottom side is High Brow Cat...
I don't need a horse and she will probably be out of my price range, even with an extended budget..... All your postive feedback is not helping my situation here.... :/ |

Location: Texas | I know of two that were cold backed and bucked when young... but I know where one is now and she's solid. The other one is still young and in that phase. Both came from their ranch.
Those horses are bred to last and survive on the road, so I can see how they may be bored and have energy and may act colty or cold backed when they are young.
The ones I have seen personally have all been pretty. not super tall but thick with a lot of bone. and a lot of mane. LOL. |

Location: WI | I have a yearling out of my OTT barrel horse. He is every bit of his mother as far as looks and personality, which, depending on the day can be a good thing or a bad thing LOL. But, i think once he gets more handling and time spent with him he is going to be a great horse. Right now, he is turned out in the pasture growing up. He is kind of a slow grower. |

The good ones DO NOT come along everyday...............sounds like that filly is worth bidding high on. |

| If you got one thats got the speed they can get there. They are a good working horse and most will try real hard, few have the speed to cut the clock at higher levels. Gritty and workers. |

| In addition to my above statement. Dinero has sired average money earned of 3X the dtf average. So while your chances are slim of being top tier, it still is far from a bad choice. |

| I have two and love them both. Easy to train, they have a lot of heart, and are super tough and gritty. They don't like to be drilled and don't like a lot of frills. They just want to work. My 4 yr old looks and feels like he is slow but he always clocks and even at 4, is already fairly consistent. |

Location: Desert Land | I had one by Dinero out of the dam to Sherry Cervi's NFR horse BC Tinman and a full brother to a horse Sherry was/is running MP Money Man. The dam is a not only an NFR qualifier producer, but a multiple 1D/rodeo winning producer and in fact one of her babies is here in BHW for sale right now. My colt was broke and sweet, but mentally immature. He had some quirks that I am sure were man made. He didn't have a mean bone in his body. He did need more time than I had to give him and ended up selling him to a friend in Idaho and I believe he is somewhere in Alabama now. |

Your right it is but its especially true with ones that want to work...they are not "jump" out of their skin bred horses...don't take offense
Most dinero babies come with that work ethic bred in and it doesn't take much tuning to keep them right but some just don't have the speed across the pen...real talk

| What would be you all's thoughts on Dinero crossed on my Splash Bac daughter / granddaughter of Dash For Cash? Would the combo of Driftwood and Beduino be too much? She's super kind and will absolutely smoke a pattern and has a ton of try. She's 14.2 but still sound after years of regular competing. I was thinking of Famous Bugs, but Dinero may be a good one, too. |

It depends on whether you want another smaller horse or would like to add some size. Our Dinero filly was out of a 14.2 hand mare and she was 3 years old before she was even big enough for us to start under saddle. |

Isn't George pretty tall? ...or does he just seem tall because Stingray is so short? |

Most aren't but Twister that team roping gray is 15.3. Not insanely tall, but 15.3 is pretty good size IMO. Mine is short...she's 14.2 but I think when her withers catch up with her hip she'll likely finish around 15.1...but it's my guess, ask me in another couple years lol |

This is not my horse. But my friend did breed, raise and sell him to the gal currently selling him. Nice colt. She also has the 2 yo full brother to this one she is selling:

I would pass being the bottom side isn't exactly know for speed. Dinero (and most Sun Frost bred ones) usually need a little help in the speed department. Perhaps a mare that has produces some AAA runners or at least AA would be a better choice. |

Location: California | I have a PC Frenchmans Hayday daughter out of a Streakin Six/Easy Jet mare. She is 5 and almost 15 hands. Everyone says she's one of the "taller" ones that they've seen. I bred and raised her and she is a sweet mare and likes to work and do things. She is mentally pretty slow. It's gotten better but my joke is if we move her feed bucket she could very well starve! She ran in futurities as a 4yo and placed in AZ in the early ones. I wanted to futurity her later on but a tendon injury kept her sidelined for the last 6 months of the year. It wasn't until late Spring I was able to start legging her back up and continue seasoning. Recently I've been running her at the pro rodeos that are close to home. Her very first one was up at night in a perf and she ran just like it was a jackpot. She really likes running barrels and isn't "goofy" like the Fames. She has a willing personality and was trainable, she just wasn't very fast at picking it up. I really have to be patient when showing her new things because it takes her at least 3 consecutive days to get it.

I saw a big yellow boy run at Jackson a couple of years ago. Ran top of the 1D both days and came out round by Mary's house. I can't remember the rider's name. I was so impressed that I went to meet her and she told me he was a Dinero baby. |

Oh good to know. I'm 5'7" and while I'm not a fan of Giants, I would like a little more size. |
