| This one. I was awestruck by him in the flesh.

Pappasito is also just drop dead gorgeous. The below picture is the worst one I’ve seen. It doesn’t do him any justice.

These two are better in the flesh than what any picture shows. They are both extremely balanced and correct.

I would recommend him for most mares that need some "cleaning" up. it always helps if the mare is a little more stout though in the chest. |

Do you always respond with snarky crotchety answers? did someone p i ss in your cereal this morning?
There are other nice well built studs. However i thought of the ones i have SEEN in person and thought they were exemplary
Streaking Ta Fame is one of those.

I'm partial to my own senior stallion and if I weren't, I'd have no business standing him. But that said, USUALLY a discerning horseman knows they are not perfect. Breeding good horses is about knowing what you're working with and always trying to find a match that will create a more perfect animal.

Yes! He was the one I was trying to think of! I only noticed him because JL commented on a FB picture, bringing it into my feed, and he caught my eye. He's a looker!

Yes I do! 4 year old mare that is the prettiest thing you’ll ever see. She’s huge. She was on self destruct mode this summer. Then “life” has been getting in my way as I quit my job and started a business. She’s really smart and I had her loping a set after 5 days of being patterned. My daughter was jealous, lol! I can’t say enough good things about my mare. |

Depends on who has the stud. I saw Dinero as a 4 yr old before anyone knew his name. I bred to him & had outstanding horses by him. Potters are honest people & stallion owners. I never met Firewater Ta Fame, but I have an outstanding filly we will be running next year by him out of one of our driftwood mares. Our trainers love her & said she is something very special. Just need to look at the person standing the stud & look at what the stallions pedigree is & see if it matches up to your mares conformation & pedigree. |

I'm not saying people are dishonest.
I'm saying that people will breed to a stud then see him in person and be like "oh he so doesn't look like I thought." |

I agree with this. I have a stud on my top 5 to breed to but I've seen his dam in person who had the smallest feet I have ever seen. I would want to see him in person before I decided to breed to him to see what he is walkin on. I would never have expected she had that small of feet. |

I believe it was because he was becoming a sire that no other could compete with. In the short time he was standing he made a huge impact on running quarter horses. It may have been jealousy or revenge or ?? |

Yes, they believe they knew who the perpetrator was. Hired hit men did teh job, but they could never "prove" who paid for the hit. A stallion owner whose stallion was overshadowed by Jet Deck, both on the track and in the stud. Only 7 foal crops, and his legacy is still alive today.
My personal all time favorite stud,a s well. I don;t own a horse that does not trace back to Jet Deck.

| Personally, conformation wise I love A Smooth Guy, but would never breed a mare to him but his conformation is outstanding.
I also like JL Dash Ta Heaven's conformation, the only thing I can fault him for is I'd like a little more substance to those cannon bones.
And back when one QH did it all, Te N Te:
I personally am not a fan of the downhill built stallions but they perform and so do their offspring. :) My two cents on the subject.
