I'm going to jump on the band wagon. I am highly considering breeding my mare this spring. I refuse to give up on my dream. Yes I know all the reasons to not breed and don't really need those lectures. Lol. Her 2012 Howelling Corona gelding is AWESOME! He has had a delay in his tainting do to me but that will be fixed this spring.

I am the world's WORST photographer of my mare and seem to enhance all her faults. Lol. So far my list in no particular order is:

Perks Firewater Flit
Firewater Finale
CRM Livewire (APHA) si 103 LTE $100,708

My mare, Pepsi Bar Dancer can no longer continue barrel racing due to a man made lameness (plenty of info on other threads).

 What is your budget? What is your must have in a stallion? What would you like to improve in your mare? Must the stallion be a paint and how important are incentive funded?

Hello Hello; As a paint horse owner you know how difficult it is to find a sire
that can dominate the genes of the regular paint bloodlines to keep from
having a flashback to the past.

When you are looking to add speed and agility one must research what heavy
duty bloodlines have been successful crossovers on paint bred mares.

Here are two very successful full brothers to take a really hard look at :

SIRE:
PYC PAINTED WAGON .. proven paint producing sire

DAM:
SIRE: SF ROYAL QUICK FLASH AQHA
AND: ..ROYAL QUICK FLASH APHA
(when he was born AQHA and APHA rules were ... double registered
required a name for AQHA and one for APHA)
As you can see he is a full blooded AQHA CROP OUT but has the genes
to be the most prolific sires of paint runners that is alive today and
stands at Steele Farms, Ft. Gibson Okla

2nd dams sire:
Is the famous sire TEXAS HERO another dominate sire in the APHA
racing books ...

PAINTED TURNPIKE (breeding farm yet to be determined)
is the first paint Triple Crown winner in 2015 and ran
his derby year in 2016 ... LTE: $229,000 which is tremendous
for a racing paint ... he is a black bay paint bred solid colored paint ..

GITTER DUN TURNPIKE
LTE: < $100.000 Tobiano stallion
stud farm:
http://www.frontpageperformancehorses.com/htdocs/GITTERDUNTURNPIKE_...

My first choice on these two brothers would be PAINTED TURNPIKE ..
your mare has a soggy pedigree and needs all the help she can get
to produce enough barrel speed to be competitive today ..

My 2nd sire for your mare would be the double registered SF ROYAL QUICK
FLASH // ROYAL QUICK FLASH .... HE has been in the top 3 paint sires
every year since he entered stud duty .. and produces mostly solid bred paints.
He stands for $1000 ...

You have already researched my last choice CRM LIVEWIRE ..
only time will tell if he has the gene structure to dominate the
old paint lines ..

So... believe my input that breeding speed into a paint horse requires
a stout set of genes and a paint mare owner can't just flip the pages
of a stallion list and pick one to crossover on their mare ...
breeding paints is a tricky headache ... lol

and as you have found ... finding information on anything from the APHA
is almost impossible ... they are so busy with WP and HALTER horses
and printing stupid magazines to take care of their horse business ..
APHA is in serious management and financial trouble ...

as of this year they dumped keeping track of racing paint records to
SPEEDHORSE MAGAZINE and they are doing the best they can with
the filtered and minimum data they get from APHA .... GRRRRRRR

Warning ... as a breeder of barrel horses ... don't get crazy wanting
a colored foal ... breed to the best even if he is a solid bred paint..
you are now looking for the best quality foal and not for color ...
either way ... you only have a 50-50 chance of getting color even
if every horse in the foals pedigree was a colored registry paint!!

Call Nolan Pevehouse in Webbers Falls Okla to find the stud farm
PAINTED TURNPIKE will be standing at and the stud fee on both
of his stallions ... GITTER DUN TURNPIKE .. that is if you are
interested in either stallion ..
GOOD LUCK AND MERRY CHRISTMAS ..

 I agree with this. You need to add speed and refinement and reach. You want to clean and lengthen the neck, clean and refine the head, and get some refinement, reach and balance to the body and maintain bone structure. http://files.speedhorse.com/20150201/HTML/files/assets/basic-html/page155.html
? http://www.paintracing.com/marketplace/sa/Sifford.pdf
I really like Easy Jet Too and the above horse is double E.J.T and physically he's alot of what I would look to improve in your mare.
http://www.paintracing.com/marketplace/sa/DosPoruno.pdf
 I also saw Country Quick Dash is $1000 and he has sired some nice horses.
? Look to your paint race sires is my advice.

I'm wanting to keep it $1250 and under, no frozen semen. While yes I obviously want to clean up her conformation and add speed, bone is very important to me as well. I don't need the next NFR champion and I don't rodeo. Incentives are a major plus and if I'm paying the money I would personal rather pay for the stud that has them. While a regular registry foal is a huge bonus I know color isn't everything.

PFF is local and I have personally seen him. I have not seen a baby of his that I don't like!

Firewater Finale I haven't seen a foal I don't like either. I've actually been watching quite a few for a while.

CRM Livewire I've had my eye on for a while though he has no incentives.



I will look into the other suggestions!

I would breed to Firewater Finale. I love how everyone says their babies are so good minded and trainable. With your health problems that would make me want to breed to such a stallion over speed and refinement, if you are looking for a horse that you can do anything on. If I were to ever have a mare I wanted a baby from, he is the stallion I want. I would want a horse to trail ride, work cattle and barrel race and possibly do Ranch classes. I believe for an older amateur rider his colts would be exactly what I was looking for. I sure hope you find something that helps your back. I love your posts on Ace, he is just a special boy for sure.

That so far is exactly what my thought process has been. While I do want to add speed, I don't need a 1D horse. Though if I end up with one I sure won't complain! Lol

They are! I've seen quite a few in person and personally LOVE the PFF sorrel gelding she personally running (Firewaters Rapid Dash). PFF himself may only be 14.3 but he is MASSIVE, honestly pics don't do him justice! That's funny because Double Galatea's foals are always my favorites too! Lol

I'm really torn between breeding to him or using another stud.... Firewater Finale has the same easy going user friendly type babies and is enrolled in even more incentives. Of course the chance for a palomino doesn't hurt either. Lol

CRM Livewire I absolutely LOVE as well. He doesn't have incentives but he has more speed and his LTE is quite impressive.

As of now Painted Turnpike's owners aren't sure if he will stand at stud for 2017 or continue racing.

I had a feeling that might be the case ..

With all the innuendo's that APHA has installed on solid colored paints it
would be tuff to get racing mares to him even with his racing record.
The guys ruining APHA are the same ones that killed the APPY Association
with crazy color rules.

His owners or any owner for that matter has a tuff time finding any races
written for paints over 3 years old. 3 basic types claiming, allowance and
handicaps are their choices but almost none written for a successful
race horse. The few they do write are for like: non winners, long distances,
invite only with nomination and gate fees applied...

Tx and Ok are your paint running states .. there are a few run in Wy, Mt, Id
areas as meets at fairs once a year and are again for your 2-3 year old.

Most of us that were breeding and racing paints have sold all of our paints
due to the fact APHA would change rules to go into affect immediately
and leave us with a pasture full of young paints with no where to go
with them and of course these constant flip flops on rules de valued our
babies so much they practically had no value ....

GOOD LUCK ... and don't assume you are going to get a 1D horse regardless who you breed to .. your mare is a solid looking girl .. but finding a stallion to
add all the things you want may take several years of extending her pedigree thru her daughters ... so breed for the best improvement on a baby ...
if you are happy ... I am happy ... lol

Thank you again for all that insight! APHA is definitely a mess. I honestly only have this mare by chance. Just like her too much. Lol. If i ever buy another prospect it'll be AQHA. I definitely don't expect to get a 1D horse out of her and that's ok with me. Her 2012 gelding by Howelling Corona is exactly what I was after when I bred her. While he's not perfect he is better conformation wise then his mother and VERY athletic. He hasn't quite found his speed yet because I really haven't asked for it. I've been more focused on giving him a slow and solid start. We lost quite a bit of training time this fall do to some personal issues. I was just to the point of asking him for speed.

I'm also not 100% set on breeding next year. Just doing my due diligence and trying to make smart decisions if I decide to follow through with it. :)

 I'm going to throw my vote in for Firewater Finale. I have one and my colt is only 15 hands but has the reach of a hunter under saddle horse. It's all in the shoulder. He's so mellow it just shocks everyone how young he is. Very smart, can lope the smallest of circles with ease. I am so impressed with him. He has a pretty dished face, very refined. His dam was a bit TB'y but FWF put all the bulk and bone I could ever want on him. Nice sized feet and real flat knees and low hocks.

I just wanted to add that your mare is really cute and I like how she's bred. I think you can't go wrong with any of the studs you're looking at. Can we see some pics of your HC baby??

Thank you! I really hate that she won't be able to continue barrel racing, she such a fun little mare! I've done almost everything with her; works cows, rides english, trail rides, parades, go through drive thrus in town, showed halter/showmanship/western pleasure, and so much more. She LOVES working cows and barrels/poles. Such a gritty mare. I actually bought her for $75 in 2008 as a just turned 2yr old 2 days before the auction, she had never been handled, was malnourished, and foaled a month later. That foal unfortunately was premature and did not make it. I almost lost this mare multiple times while trying to get weight on her and save her. Our journey together definitely hasn't been easy but it's all been completely worth it!

 I have a nice 2016 filly by Osage Spirit. She's an absolute doll and has been the easiest horse to do anything with.
