Location: Texas | Did the Mcleods buy her?? LOL
I sure hope so! I wish Katelyn could have made her summer run with Skye, I would bet 100% that she would be making the finals if she had.. I always felt Katelyn & Skye had a special connection, it was one you could see.
Congrats to whoever bought her(if true) and congrats to Jason and Charlie for the phenominal horses |

Awesome mare but so sad if it's true that she didn't pass a vet check. Guess being a mare will help keep the price up. Good luck to the new owners. |

Shes a bad mammajamma for sure. Apparently whatever she didnt pass for wasn't that big of a deal....or is maintained pretty easily. I know a lot of horses going down the road right now that wouldnt pass a vet check either...with all the drug-testing going on right now it must be pretty easily kept or they wouldn't have been able to run her at some of the rodeos they ran her at without risk of being tested. I know that there are some things that are easy to get around..but not for being legitimately crippled really. Its just gotten so strict. Being nervous to give a horse a little bit of BUTE after making a few runs in a row on hard/slick ground and then hauling 300 miles is silly to me. I dang sure take my fair share of Advil to get 3 hours down the road sometimes and I am not crippled by any means. Regardless...whatever it was is pretty minor or she would have broke down by now as hard as they hauled her and the ground that mare handled.

Sorry I didn't mean anything negative. When I think failed vet check I always think the worst, broken leg, dieing, etc. I never think about the simple things that vets like to nit pick at. I forget that with the drug testing you have to have a pretty amazing horse to be able to haul all those miles and not worry about giving them "something" to make them win. I am happy I haven't had to run against her!! She is a beast. |

I definitely wasn't getting on to you in any way. I know you didn't mean it that way. I just know how some people will percieve it...some people wont even think about buying a horse if they dont pass...even if the horse is still exceptional and not really hurt. I was more or less trying to make that really clear...that just because she didnt pass doesnt mean that she has been getting run while she has been in pain or anything like that...because some people really just dont know and might assume that and Michelle and her daughters are really sweet sweet people and I know take the best care possible of their ponies. No worries:) and I have run against her...and she kicked by butt by 3 tenths of a second with Kaitlyn on some crap ground at the bottom of the drag...she is a beast haha. |

That is hard to say...when it comes to this much money no one really talks about it..and they really shouldnt. But Latte was a little different...and I knew the number back then...but I dont remember and I wouldnt tell if I did haha...but not quite that much...he was more or less purchased for what the lady "was owed" and then some and gifted to Mary from what I understood. It was a sweet gesture no matter the amount...and definitely more than I have ever had in my bank account and might ever lol |

Location: Central Texas | Not passing a vet check can include minor issues. I know one vet that has only given about 2 horses a complete pass and he's an older vet. Most of the ones he does not pass have a very minor issue. He does not chose to over look a minor one regardless of how unimportant it may seem. He didn't pass a horse I know of because he didn't react to his eye check exactly the way he wanted. Said it would probably NEVER EVER be a problem though. |

The difference in her and Latte is just that. She is a mare. Could you imagine what embryos from Kellies Chick may bring? What her offspring would be worth? Latte is only worth what he is worth as a barrel horse. He cannot reproduce, thus not adding to his value other than as an athlete.

Location: lost in missouri | Hardly any vet will ever pass a horse completely in a vet check. They are just like us humans everyone of us has something going on. an ankle that pops, an eye that is lazy, etc they dont like to fully pass one and then something pops up later and the buyer can come back on the vet and say u said it was 100% so very rarely will you find a vet that passes one 100%. Quite frankly if a vet did pass one 100% I would be questioning the quality of my pre purchase exam. |

Along with that, athletes at this level are never 100% sound. Lots of money and effort go into keeping these horses performing at top levels, without those efforts a horse at that level wouldn't last a year. |

Latte sold for $850,000. The highest selling barrel horse on record.
The Walkers already owned 90% of him so of the $850,000 they only had to come up with 10% in reality....so they only paid $85,000 for him....the rest was put up by Justin Discount Boots and I am sure returned to Justin Discount Boots once the court case was over. |

Walkers did not lose the court case, check your facts. And they did have to put up the entire 850K,not as simple as suggesting they just had to put up 85K. I don't have a dog in this fight but plz check your facts. |

Location: Sherman, TX | They did lose as the other owner was awarded what she was owed, the only time the other owner ever stood up for herself was to state the judge had sided with her. The court case is public record and the court transcript can be read by anyone. Yes they did have to come up with $850,000 but since 90% of it went back to them they are able to pay it back. |

| Congrats to the sellers and the buyers. What a great horse. Before the imaginations run wild on the rumor she didn't pass a vet check (don't know if it is true or not), I can tell you from my own experience, the higher price the horse, the less likely a vet is going to "pass" them 100%. Vets are being sued for passing horses on prepurchase exams and then something comes up later so to cover their butts legally, most vets will find some little something and point it out. It is usually something minor but they still point it out. I sold a rodeo horse for a lot of money several years ago and he passed the vet check with flying colors. The vet asked how much I was selling him for. When I told him the price, they spent a couple more HOURS going over this horse and doing more xrays to be for certain. It was amusing to say the least. |

| Couldnt agree more on the vet check... I had a 5 year old, never took a lame step and he "failed" because he went off gimpy to a flex test. Came back and flexed him a second time, went off sound.
Way too much room for interpretation. |
