I'm breeding my mare to him this spring...what a hunk to look at! I've heard nothing but good things about him and Amy, and so far have really enjoyed working with her. And how can you get better than a palomino?!  |

You won't be disapointed. I have a 2 yr old that was started this fall. He is so fabulous. Really friendly from the day he was born and I can give him a month off and he rides off just like he was ridden every day. He has this strange lope, it feels elevated and so collected and smooth. I haven't ridden a smoother lope. But when you watch the videos of him, he doesn't look elevated at all in the front end. He just really keeps that hock up under him. He's a natural athlete. His dam is one of my favorite mares, she was a daughter of Shoot Yeah. I am so tired of winter because I have 3 young horses and am not getting any of them ridden like I want.
Amy was super to deal with on the breeding. My husband gave me the last minute OK to breed that mare via AI and Amy was as accomodating as could be. |

I envy those who have babies out of him. I cant afford any of his for sale and done t have a mare to breed to him but one day I will have one. I have ridden a few of them and they are so correct. Nice bone and even a plain sorrel looks flashy. |

My 2 year old is just like this. I would take a barnful of Dazzler babies! Amy is awesome to deal with too! you will not regret breeding to him! |

     Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I am hoping someday I can talk my husband into another one. He is just so anti-AI because of all the added costs. The resale value on Firewater Finale babies is unreal for how reasonable his stud fee is. I had several emails and phone calls to sell mine but I just haven't wanted to yet. I have a really nice local FG stud that we can breed to, but I like to venture out every now and again. I want a Pappasito, a Jess Jones and and and lol. |

     Location: On top of a Hill, WA | I just love my Firewater Finale colt! He is so confident and BOLD about everything. It makes introducing him to new things a breeze. He hauls quietly by himself, and loves a little adventure. In fact - he's been on two prize rides this year, and I dressed him up at Barbie's dream horse at the Halloween one. He's coming three this year, so he's one pretty cool cat! You can shoot off him too! Plus he's easy on eyes! Mine is pushing 15.3 as a two year old...wears a 81 blanket...

| A Firewater Twist RB
I had two out of him, the first one I sold, the second I still have. The instant acceleration these two have is insane. The one I sold would actually give me whiplash coming out of the barrels. The second one is even more talented, but missed her futurity year as she kept having freak accidents in the pasture. |

| I have a 2015 colt by Firewater Finale. I love how balanced he has stayed - even during weaning he hasn't hit that awkward, ugly colt stage. I had to take him into the vet clinic at 4 months old and the vet & assistants raved about how well mannered he was and that I must have spent a lot of time working with him- when actually that was the first time he had been haltered and handled besides a few scratches out in the pasture  |

I love your's ! Mine has the same mind you described your's as having but man, am I jealous of the size and color of your's!
Mine is a sorrel, very well made and stocky but only right at about 15 hands but he is butt high so I'm hoping for another growth spurt.  |

I have a now yearling colt out of my race bred mare. I'm complety smitten with my handsome fellow. He is everything and more that people told me I'd get by crossing my mare with Dazzler. He has the looks, color, brains, sass, and is just perfect in every sense of the word. I would take a pasture full just like him. |

| Some that I haven't seen mentioned are Flaming Firewater, Nonstop Firewater, Firewater Fooler, Firewater Canyon, Alive N Firen. With the exception of Firewater Canyon, who is very young. I believe all these guys have get winning in the barrel pen. |
