Location: Texas! | I have seen quite a few for sale in the last couple months and I just wondered if they were bred with the intent to market for sale or if there is a reason so many are for sale right now? |

| Many of them are priced high and I don't see some of them going anywhere anytime soon. The ppl who bred them, if bred for marketing, sure think highly of them. But to answer your question most are probably for sale because it's time to sell. Most large yearling sales are this time of year, it's a great time to move weanlings, and it is usually the time ppl buy their 2yr or 3yr prospects. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | They kept his fee low and bred a ton of mares. On one hand it helps get them out there, out of that big of a foal crop there should be some nice ones...on the other hand they aren't hard to find so it might make it hard to sell average ones. |

| One thing about Slick that I've noticed is that he doesn't "stamp" his babies. Slye might be an exception, but I haven't seem Kellies Chick conformationally so I am not sure. They all look so different, depending on dam. Please correct me if I am wrong, but that's what I've seen so far. |

People want to strike(sell) while the iron is still hot---with the numbers he bred if something doesn't jump up and win big, their value is going to drop dramatically. IMO. |

Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | As a casual observer, because I don't buy prospects, one reason there are many is they bred a lot of mares. Many of those will be for sale. Not many times in the horse industry can you actually make a profit or break even on a horse, especially anything not patterned and ready for a job. Some will be for sale every year. Just a fact. The ones I've seen pictures of have been outstanding looking. Very balanced and just great looking horses. If they ride like they look, they will be worth a pretty penny in the future. I have one friend that has one o/o a daughter of my stud. She's over the moon about that young horse. |

| I bred to Slick the first year they stood him to the public. I loved him, conformation & especially his temperament when I met him at Ft Smith. I bred him to one of my driftwood mares, Miss Cowboy Drift. I really liked his breeding & have always loved Designer Red. I did this breeding to sell, but after he was started, my trainer's told me he was an exceptional colt. Then the following year I sent him to my trainer's to start on barrels. Again they said, he was wonderful & watching him work, he is fluint & easy. Very smooth to ride. I was still going to sell him, but the more I was around him, the more I fell in love with him. Now I won't sell him. He is a kind & gentle soul, never once has bucked, very athletic & honest.Not spooky, a go with the flow type guy. He looks a lot like Slick, same head & kind eye & body style. I hope I can ride him to the best of his ability, but if not, I will get someone I know who can. This is Slyder, LR Slick Wood

Location: Texas | Everything I breed, I breed with intentions to sell. I choose crosses that I personally like because I want to be proud of what I make... but everything has to be marketable. I bred a mare to Slick and got a homozygous black filly in 2016. She was easy to sell and I got what I wanted for her. A lot of people breed with intentions to sell. |

No, He is out of a 1/2 sister to the mare your thinking about. Your probably thinking of LR Designerwoods dam, Miss Cowboy Lady. Slyders dam is Miss Cowboy Drift. |

Curious as well. Saw him in person once at a rodeo and he sure is a handsome stallion. I agree with the not quite stamping all his babies. I have seen some where I see the resemblance but not in like a oh that’s a Fame for sure kind of way. If that makes sense? |

| One of the best things you can hope for when owning and breeding a stallion is repeat customers. Almost 1/2 of Slicks book this season was to repeat breeders that likes their previous foals. There is a reason that Dash Ta Fame is the number one stallion of all times. One because he is awesome and two is he has 3000+ foals on the ground. Interesting enough the number #2 stallion of all times has over 1600 foals and the number #3 of all time has over 1500 foals. There is ZERO chance anyof them would be where they are at today if their owners decided to only breed 25 mares a year.
We have kept Slicks breeding fee at an affordable price so people could afford to breed to him and not have to get a huge price for their foals if they want to sell as a weanling or yearling.
Slicks 3 year old crop will be his first big crop to hit the arena in December.. He was bred to GREAt mares that are in the hands of GREAt owners and trainers.
Time will tell if he will become a great sire.
We have done everything in our power to promote him and his offspring. The new Pink Buckle program is going to pay like a slot machine. In my opinion this program has the chance of becoming a multiple million dollar program and people are going to have the added bonus of running for big bucks all the way to the 4 D that will pay out $100,000 in just the 4 D. It will pay to breed to a Pink Buckle Stallion!

There’s a gelding in my area I’ve seen recently and he looked so much like her just a thicker version. Our filly is incredibly kind as well. Again these are just what I’ve seen and I certainly haven’t seen them all. I’m excited to see what they do. |

In the past I have not been a fan of OTMR own get, but obviously I was willing to give him a try. Also, being at HighPoint made that choice a lot easier. They are a first class facility and their breeding manager Christi is just the best! |

3 month old black filly
She was a little bit stubborn and not super friendly when first born. It took her some time to warm up but once she learned people give scratches and nose kisses... She's all about us. Her pictures today were also the first time she was ever tied solid and she didnt pull back once. Was pretty easy to halter break. Turns both ways loads nice and easy. This is a really nice filly. I'm excited to have a full sibling due in 2019.

I have personally been around Slick babies and can attest they are fantastic. This is exactly why I’ve bred my mare to him, and several close friends have continued to breed to him. Several friends have sold their babies and made good money on them. I breed for what I personally like, but something that will also have good resale value if I ever decide to sale. Being a small time breeder I am grateful they have kept an open book with a reasonable price for such a nice stallion. They are always extremely professional, personable, and he has the best quality I have ever shipped on. |

Technically and genetically there actually isn't a 'brown.' There are sunburnt blacks (sometimes they are smoky) and there are really dark bays (there is a modification allele that can really darken the bay almost to black, similar to a sooty gene on a buckskin). Both of these get registered as browns because they get the light around on their face and around their flanks. It would be great if AQHA would catch up with the science. :) |

| I have a yearling I am very excited about. He had a pretty big ego from the moment he hit the ground but gelding him in April seemed to help that a ton 
He looks like he should end up being good sized, very smart and watching him just out playing he is really fun to watch! We are looking forward to his first rides next fall. If I knew how to attached pictures I would.... But I am one of those who it would take more money than what the market probably is on him to buy him, wise decision or not I absolutely love him!

Both of these get registered as browns because they get the light around on their face and around their flanks. It would be great if AQHA would catch up with the science. : )
I thought a true black didnt have any brown/red hair on them..So I'm guessing my brown is more a dark bay or a sunburnt black, hummmm..
The trouble with trying to decide color based on what you see is sometimes it's wrong. I've seen horses that looked brown (per the description in AQHA's handbook) but genetically they were black. They didn't have a bay gene (agouti = A). So they technically were black. I've also seen the opposite where they sure look true black to my eye. But they are genetically bay/brown. One of the testing companies said they had found a gene that caused bay to be really dark and called it At. But it's not been proven to be true. Testing is the only way to be sure what color genes are present.

Is he/she roaning out? Kinda hard to tell by the picture, almost looks like a rose gray except for the head, maybe a blue roan or a bay roan.. I dont care what color but I like very much |

WYOracer - 2018-07-18 11:52 PM So what do y’all think is going to be his magic cross?
I am guessing DTF---for one, they cross with everything plus the people that have Slick have the means to get them, they are not cheap !!!!!!!!!!!
Ill go one generation ahead and say he's exactly what some heavy DTF breeding programs need. If the mare is not a daughter she seems to be breed to a son (not starting a debate I know there are other options and not everybody does this) but I think he will turn out to be a fantastic out cross on those mares. And like you said, they can cross with anything. |

It took her some time to warm up but once she learned people give scratches and nose kisses... She's all about us. Her pictures today were also the first time she was ever tied solid and she didnt pull back once. Was pretty easy to halter break. Turns both ways loads nice and easy. This is a really nice filly. I'm excited to have a full sibling due in 2019.
What color is the dam on this one? |

Thank you! LOL! I am sure some people think it's funny to name a horse Biscuit but the night before he was born my daughter and I were watching Seabiscuit and then I go out to check my mare and here is this handsome little bay colt full of personality...so that's where it came from. I should take some more recent pics of him. He's really shedding out to be a cool color. I'm pretty sure he is a dark bay since his dam is bay...but he does look almost black.
I am so excited for him!!! His dam placed in the 1D several times last summer while she was pregnant. Here is her winning 3rd 1D in the short go at our NBHA state finals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se2keUDjA4w

| Slick only has four 5 olds. One of them is HP Slick Sally. She started off as a Futurity money earner and got hurt and we gave her the summer off. When we started her back we sent her to a roper to get legged back up. They said how much they loved her and how talented she was. So we said see what she can do. Yesterday she placed 3 rd out of 120 teams in the #13 World Series in Stephensville and earned a spot to Las Vegas!! |

Fancie_That_Chrome_ - 2018-07-17 3:03 PM Ma'am I'm not looking to start an argument, but she is indeed black. She looks more "brown" because shes kicking out that baby Hair, and because I saturated the pictures slightly when i took them so she would "pop" better. She is not as light in person as the pictures may portray to you. To add to it she will be getting color tested as she could be homozygous black. I may also check agouti just to be sure. If you saw her in person, You'd have no doubt. That I promise. I'm guessing then she has not shed out the baby fuzz around her eyes and muzzle then, it just looked like she had already shedded her fuzz on her face, sorry if I had offended you..Edit to add: I was going by all that brown on her face..
Technically and genetically there actually isn't a 'brown.' There are sunburnt blacks (sometimes they are smoky ) and there are really dark bays (there is a modification allele that can really darken the bay almost to black, similar to a sooty gene on a buckskin ). Both of these get registered as browns because they get the light around on their face and around their flanks. It would be great if AQHA would catch up with the science. : )
What color is my horse then!?  She's almost black in the winter with red around her eyes and muzzle (like pictured) and then bleaches out to a realllll ugly sooty brown in the summer. (my farmer/4 wheeler-rancher fiance would really love if I didn't have to refer to my brown horse anymore when he thinks they are all "brown" to begin with  )

Location: Central Iowa | Well I am just in LOVE with stud muffin Stitch (LR A Slick Frenchman). He is sired by Slick By Design out of Mary Lees mare LR Frost N Go x PC Frenchmans Hayday. He is the biggest love bug ever. He will be headed to training this winter that I just cant wait. I am very hopeful for him and hoping he will turn into a heck of a heel horse for me as well. As you can see in the one photo him and my Fire On Bug yearling LOVE to play! LOL
Edited to mention he is Brown but he is almost like a dark rich chocolate brownie brown when he isn't dirty LOL
