All are very easy to be around, have people pleasing attitudes, and good work ethics. |

| Thank you guys! I can't find any sun frost in my area ever for what I can afford lol but will keep looking! I am afraid of blue valentine and driftwood lol I have heard Valentines are spooky and watchy and that's one of the biggest issues with my current horse, too busy watching everything to work! And driftwoods I have heard are terrible to start but then generally nice. I do know one mare that is said to be driftwood but has no papers to prove it and I do love her aside from her head and neck which are not too pretty lol |

Not hot, don't get worked up, but I don't want to pick on one either. They have a tendency to have big heads, but I don't mind it so much - gives them character. They are pretty under-rated, but they are getting noticed now with some of the NFR gals riding them. I love that I have found this line. Fits me perfectly. |

This is a picture of our Blue Valentine/Hancock/Driftwood 3 year old. Her first time ever sat on and she fell asleep. I love the work ethic of the foundation horses and my program is heavy in regards to that. The horse in my avatar is over 20% Driftwood. My one filly pictured is from Cross Spur, and our other mare is Driftwood/Sun Frost.

Also, just so you know. Sun Frost is Driftwood bred, so your statement truly contradicts itself. |

Location: MN | Love my Top Moon and Poco Bueno bred horses. Id have to say the horse i have now (in my avatar), is my 3rd once in a lifetime horse after my other 2 were tragically hit and killed, both by the same truck, at the same time. He has a heart of GOLD and id take a pasture full of him if i could! He goes back to Doc Olena on the bottom and Leo on the sire side.
Id say my Top Moon/Leo/Doc Olena horses were/ARE the most user friendly. My Poco Bueno was a little hard headed and hard to figure out at first.

I wish I had loved my own son of OTMR that I had. He was huge and gorgeous to boot! But WOW. One of the most hard headed most slow learning, stubborn horses Ive ever had! Sometimes I wish i had kept him longer just to see how he wouldve turned out. I do wish i knew where he was today!

He's beautiful! Sadly I lost track of mine as well. I sold him a couple years ago due to changing life circumstances and unfortunately lost touch. |

I guess I would have to throw Top Moon in also--the bulk of our broodmare band is built around this mare on the right, she is a daughter of Joe Tee--who was by Top Moon. The other two are her daughters by Sun Frost and we have four more daughter of hers in our broodmare band.

I do have some questions, if you don't mind. I'm not trying to be rude or snarky, so please don't take it that way. I know you have an Osceola Warrior stallion that you are obviously very high on. But this particular bloodline seems to be one that is almost extinct and very few horses have it. Over time, certain bloodlines usually disappear for a reason. Is the Osceola Warrior bloodline that great or do you have an exception to what the norm is? Or did Osceola Warriorbecome a regional thing that just never caught on in other parts of the country? I'm just curious is all. I enjoy researching bloodlines so your pick is fascinating to me since it's outside of the box and not very well known anymore. Thanks! |

You worked for every inch you got. Once she trusted me we really bonded.
I would say my most favorite is FWF, with Shawnee Bug a close second. :)

| Love my Dash for Perks! Strong, gritty, and definitely have their own unique attitudes. The ones I have been around don't really like being loved on and fussed over, but they love to work.Another bloodline I absolutely love is Flit Bar Beggar. Don't hardly see many of them anymore. My old horse was a Flit Bar Beggar x Top Moon and I don't know if I've ever been on a more honest horse in my life. You could do anything horseback on him. Loved his work ethic. |

Not extinct...I do not think people realize just how many are out there still winning. For example JLS Mr. Bigtime is out of a Osceola Warrior daughter, Pslamist. Pslamist is still a top producing mare.
I think Osceola Warrior only caught on regionally as a barrel horse, because barrel racers could easily get their hands on them when they came off the track in Louisiana. And those horses were unbeatable, really tough rodeo horses. As far as still running down the track Osceola Warrior daughters are producing really great runners every day.
So i think sometimes people have gotten caught up with whats hot and selling v. what actually worked...and they just do not see the lines anymore because something else a little newer may be on top or bottom .... |

To me there isn't a "vs" here. They are hot and selling because they actually worked. I have never seen another OW son standing. But I had a Burrs First Down son and BFD also stood most of his race career in LA. I have only seen a couple of BFD intact sons. Probably a reason there weren't others standing. I do know I loved mine and that is all that mattered to me. |

I was unaware that Burrs First Down stud in LA. Yet, he was more of a barrel racing sire than a Running horse sire.... where Osceola Warrior get went to the track, only a few made it to the barrel pen...and all of them that made it to the barrel pen done very well. I think this is the confusion. Osceola Warrior was a sire of runners and produced outstanding broodmares. Which in turn were the dams of excellent runners....only a hand full have went to the barrel pen because of this. To clarify what I mean is that the ones that did get to the barrel pen, other lines in their pedigree were looked at vs. Osceola Warrior being the reason the horses were so nice. With that being said. I have rode more than several OW's, and that is the reason I am so high on the blood line. It is not just because I own the only stallion by him. I have the only stallion by OW because I searched the world over for him because I rode so many that were some of the best horses I had ever sat on, rather it be to go down the track or the barrel pen. These horses just never let me down and the feel they have is different from other bloodlines I have rode. |

That's all my X said he heard from me when we were together.
Had 3 and ALL were BIG winners. 1 was even a heading horse we took for resale & when we got the papers... Flaming Jet son. Funny to see the X see that one & I opted to keep him.
Gotta love his 1/2 brother Jet of Honor also. I had 2 & both were also money winners. They all wanted to run the barrels too.
I have had 3 LHDI. 1came from Terri & 1 was cold back that came from Deana & the other from a friend (she bought from Terri). Wanted to love them, but couldn't. Ended up roping on 1, trading 1, the cattle sale the other...
