I needs some opinions. I have some pretty good ideas in my head but interested in what others think. I have two DR Nick bar mares that I'm looking to flush or breed this year. One Is mito paint on the bottom and the other is otoe bred on bottom. Both are proven producers. Dash ta fame is a proven cross on DNB mares so considering one of his sons. Not sure I can afford dash ta fame himself this year. The otoe bred mare has two colts by dash ta fame already and both are exceptional athletes and both ratey types. If I could change anything about the dtf cross that I still own it would be a teeny bit more speed (though he is pro caliber) and a little more hip. would like something known for soundness and resale is always a consideration as well. Both mares were very athletic themselves but were injured young. Ready... Go!

Honestly I'd breed to the nicest stallion you can afford. I think something like Epic Leader would be a neat and marketable cross, as long as everything else is a good match.

I have one of them in foal to Epic due in March, very excited to see what she has. Was just curious to see what others would like if they were in the market. The Red Dasher? Slick by Design, firewater ta fame and Shawnee bug Leo are all studs I've considered.

Would all be pretty nice, of those I'd go with The Red Dasher, unless mare conformation suggests otherwise.
