Location: TX | Hi everyone,
I'm looking at sons of Dash at Fame or out of exceptional DTF daughters because that is what has historically crossed well on my mare. Might also consider a FDD son or possibly another running bred stud if it meets all of the requirements. What are your opinions on the best proven producing stallions bred this way that have the best movement and confirmation? Looking for something that will pass soundness, good feet and bone, and a has a long smooth stride. Something that travels low and flat with a nice hip and shoulder. Prefer something not over 16 hands. Opinions? |

I believe that the owner has said they have frozen available. But yes, him or Streaking ta Fame. Eddie Stinson, Lion's Share of Fame, and On a Gator are also nice stallions bred that way. |

Location: TX | Thank you all, I have seen firewater ta fame in person and live him, but have not seen any of the others. Just wanting to know if any of you have seen the others in person and what you thought of their movement? Anyone know percentages of winners sired from any of the others mentioned? |

| I really like streaking ta fame or Lions share of fame. Both are proven barrel horses. Lions share of fame has some nice offspring running right now, not really sure about Streaking ta fame. . . I have a 2 year old out of him and I think he is gonna be really nice but I havent rode him yet. |

Location: Midwest | Streaking Ta Fame is my personal fav looks wise. Firewater Ta Fame is also very nice. John Fame is also a great value. I saw a yearling daughter that is very nicely put together.

Location: TX | I will look at him, thanks everyone. Feel free to throw any more ideas my way ;). Mare is flit bar in top and Mito paint on bottom. She has also done well with sun frost in the maternal line of a stallion, so considered First down French as well. |

 Saint Stacey
| Freckles Ta Fame. He is young, but he's out of an exceptional Frenchmans Guy daughter who is a winning rodeo horse herself. Can Man has been kicking ass at those ERA rodeos and he was 2nd in the second go of the BFA as a futurity horse, qualified for Mt States Circuit Finals and made it into the semis of the American. Very nice mover that travels flat and has wicked fast feet in his turns. |

Unfortunately with my mares age I need to use cooled for a better chance, she is 23
I am breeding my 20 yr old mare to Firewater Ta Fame this year using frozen semen. I have a great repro vet & if you have a great repro vet, there shouldn't be a problem. I had my mare checked today & her uterus is great & she is in great health & we feel there is no reason why she can't get bred. I was told by a respectable breeder that FTF ships great frozen semen & this lady has gotten her mares bred to him via frozen. I have a yearling filly by FTF & am repeating the breeding because we love this filly so much & we are keeping her. If your mare is healthy inside & out & your vet is knowledgeable about frozen semen, you shouldn't have a problem getting your mare bred.

| I think you would be incredibly impressed with the conformation and and speed in a Sweet First Down. Beautiful and powerful movers, with soundness, incredible legs and grit. |

Location: Gainesville, TX | My good friend owned a SFD for a while. He has done very well in the futurities with Tiany Schuster. He did have some personality quirks though. Could be a bit broncy. That being said, he also had some rough handling as a young horse and this may have impacted his behavior rather than the sire. There was no doubt he was a highly capable competitor. |
