Bought the gelding! Now he needs a name! He's super quick/catty so was thinking something along those lines. You guys told me to buy him, now you need to help me name him! Lol

Gelding - QH 4 years old (futurity eligible), all cow bred, reject cutter, good handle on him and really quick, snappy turns. Little spooky and would need a decent amount of hauling/desensitizing. Been exhibitioned a few times and cruising a nice set. Here's the video of me trying him out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wftvYoWIPk

I didn't ride them, but the one that I liked more was the gelding from watching each video (but from your description and personal preference I would have taken the mare) Just my .02... Good luck

 Love the gelding.....but having owned a reject--I don't like how they get hot.  Very sensitive with easy-to-shake confidence.  They also can evade the bit--and run 9-0 with their head between their knees. 

They both look like they can fly.  I would pick the one you like warming up the best and/or get along with better.  Is one lazier?  More charge-y?

I love the gelding too, but I have to agree with this.

I had a reject cutter before and that horse could get extremely hot. 

I will say she was one of the most fun horses i've ever rode though and her pattern was easy and flawless everytime. 

I think you need to decide what you want..

Do you want to try some futurities? Do you actually picture yourself entering a futurity in the next year? 

Have you ever bred a mare or had a foal before? Is that something you would actually do?

Do you want a push style or free runner? Because the mare definitley looked push style and the gelding looks free. 

If you're trying to find a 1D prospect I say go with the gelding, If you're just wanting something fun then go with what your gut is telling you.

You know, we have a reject cutter at home and I thought they acted exactly the same. I'm sure he'd get better with work but I really don't enjoy riding the horse at home because he's soooo sensitive.

See my dilemma?! Lol I really liked the gelding, he shut down pretty darn nice after his run but got a little hot by the third run - not bad though. The mare however, I took her through a few times and each time she ran she shut down, boom, done, all business attitude (that's what I like about mares).

Mom has four broodies at home (two track mares like her and barrel mare) and some great connections to studs so I would definitely breed her later on if she turned out to be something.

Plus if she got hurt, then I'm not out a whole bunch of money with a mare because I could sell her as broodmare sound. (Just actively thinking - the whole reason I'm getting a new horse is because my barrel horse has been sore since spring.)

Thanks guys! I think I know which one I'll go with.

I liked the gelding and think he would a real nice horse. I'd beef him up a bit and start hauling him, all I meant. Somewhat a figure of speech.

I do like a horse on the beefier side than the leaner side though. He looked on the leaner side and I bet he can really scoot with a bit more flesh. Did not mean to imply he was skinny.

I liked the gelding, I liked the way you rode him and you looked more relaxed and he looked like he sucked those barrels up, I bet with more hauling hes going to relaxed., The mare you just look a bit tense to me shes nice too but something about that gelding I liked.

Gotcha! He is only four so I think he's got a bit more filling out to do. The video is deceiving on how buff he is. :)

Going off those two videos alone, I would go with the gelding.
I don't do mares anyway, but besides that, I like his style way more. She looked kinda stiff and heavy. He looked young, which he is. But his turns were much nicer and fluid. And you looked more natural on him. Just my 2 cents!!

I liked the gelding better on video and on paper. Mentally it sounds like you ll have to keep working to keep him sane and soft but you may get the mare home and have to do the same. Dont over run him, trail ride more, do ground work to help with the spooky, and ride him quiet and youll have a bang up lil horse :) He has two years to catch up on the mare mentally (her 6 yo and him 4 yo).

Personally, I think you need to assess your goals if you want something you can compete on now or do you want to spend months getting one ready to be competitive? That is what I look at when purchasing a horse.

 Good advice to access your goals.. because the 4 yr old is young and it will take time to get him solid and sane.. slow work , relaxed and quiet rider... he might be extremely sensitive to off your seat... which some people dont want .....so if you cant or dont want to put that much time into one and want to just go and have fun then choose the mare.. But id vet check .. and work on suppliness with her..

The gelding actually has about a year of on and off barrel training versus the mare who has only 60 days. I'm having the gelding vetted and 5 panel test sent in tomorrow and we'll see how it goes. :)

ETA: The mare would need less exposure is what I meant in my op because she's already been around the rodeo scene, just hasn't been running barrels as long.

Easier to copy and paste...

The test will screen for five potentially fatal genetic diseases often found in Quarter Horses:

Me too, but I have a mare that rides kind of like that and I get along with her great. I'm not sure I could ride more of a free runner, but that is only because at this point I haven't tried one yet.

Out of the two, I did like the mare at first but she seems a little ouchy in her back end. Maybe it is just inexperience. However, I do like the geldings pedigree. Freckles playboy horses make it look effortless. A friend of mine runs that line a lot and they're super cool.

I REALLY liked them both (and boy was it a tough choice, would have gotten both of them but ya know.. $$ lol) but decided to go with the gelding because he has more time on the pattern, can be entered in futurities and has a lot nicer feet/front legs than the mare. Different style than I'm used to but I will adjust :)

On another note, he passed his vet check with flying colors so now just waiting on his 5 panel. Crossing my fingers!

I would be less concerned with a 5 panel on a gelding because he won't be passing on and of the genetic problems, it would be more for your peace of mind of what you'll need to do for maintenance if he has any of the 5 panel test disorders. But congratulations, I'm sure you'll have fun with him.

Exactly! More just looking for pssm, it'd be maintenance which isn't a major deal to me but I already have a horse with issues so I'd rather not have another... plus if something were to ever happen in the future that I had to sell and he was pssm positive, it would make resale go down. Just thinking proactively! Crossing my fingers he's N/N and I get to bring him home this weekend! :)

Can someone explain the 5 panel?  I know what HYPP is and you basically tell by pedigree if that would be an issue.  HERDA you would know right away when time to break and he's a gelding so not breeding.  What does the other 3 things show?  Sorry don't want to steel the thread.  BTW I like the gelding better!!  He had nice snappy turns!

Just thinking proactively! Crossing my fingers he's N/N and I get to bring him home this weekend! :)

Can someone explain the 5 panel?  I know what HYPP is and you basically tell by pedigree if that would be an issue.  HERDA you would know right away when time to break and he's a gelding so not breeding.  What does the other 3 things show?  Sorry don't want to steel the thread.  BTW I like the gelding better!!  He had nice snappy turns! 

NTO posted some links above that describe it! :)

WiscoRacer - 2015-11-09 12:39 PM I REALLY liked them both (and boy was it a tough choice, would have gotten both of them but ya know.. $$ lol) but decided to go with the gelding because he has more time on the pattern, can be entered in futurities and has a lot nicer feet/front legs than the mare. Different style than I'm used to but I will adjust :) On another note, he passed his vet check with flying colors so now just waiting on his 5 panel. Crossing my fingers!
I would be less concerned with a 5 panel on a gelding because he won't be passing on and of the genetic problems, it would be more for your peace of mind of what you'll need to do for maintenance if he has any of the 5 panel test disorders. But congratulations, I'm sure you'll have fun with him.

Very difficult to asnwer without writing a book, but all the diseases are passed on genetically. And if the following isn't the answer you were looking for, I must have misunderstood the question. :) So here is a link to an article explaining all the different 5 Panel diseases: http://www.goodwinquarterhorses.com/Understanding-The-5-panel--And-Other-Equine-Genetics.html?

 I like the gelding best too...mostly because I'm a sucker for a good looking sorrel.
Did you ever get a definitive answer on your mare?

Do you mean my gelding with the reoccurring lameness? I actually missed my appointment due to a miscommunication :( He's still a tiny bit sore but we pulled his shoes and then I have another appt at the end of the month. I will post when I find out!

In the meantime, this guy will keep my occupied. :)

The gelding he has a easier move around the barrels. I prefer his style more honest and forgiven vs the mare.

I liked the gelding, I liked the way you rode him and you looked more relaxed and he looked like he sucked those barrels up, I bet with more hauling hes going to relaxed., The mare you just look a bit tense to me shes nice too but something about that gelding I liked. 

mmm-hmmmm....what he said/shesaid..gelding.

That gelding works a super nice pattern. He's quick on his feet, quicker in the turns than the mare. He's got my vote!

 Some say that it is bad luck to knowingly change a horses name.  I have a very quick and catty heading horse, We call him Cat.  Partly becouse he is so quick but mostly becase my other horses name is Mouse. lol
Congrats on your new purchase!  I am betting you are going to really enjoy him.

Yeah Rodney is terrible.
He kind of looks like a Chevy. Or Chex? Chaser? Stuck on C.

Congrats! I'm Sure you'll absolutely love him. I love my little cow horse; he's just a pain in the ass to ride sometimes ha ha!

I thought about this! Trying to find something that really fits... Waiting for the ah-ha! moment lol.

Toying with two names totally unrelated to what I was thinking before - Fly or Toad - because he's kind of cute but he's also kind of naughty. We'll see!
