I already have FGG scheduled for my CC bred mare, but I have 3 mares 2 QH (FWF GD and a SF GD) and my OTTB mare that I'll be breeding in 2021. So far my shortlists include 

As Good As Nick Gets

Ivory James

Big-time favorite

Feel the sting. 

Whose on your shortlists?

I only have 1 broodmare currently. We're not mare people, mainly geldings (would've had 4 mares). 

Our broodmare is racebred (A Regal Choice x Tiny Wood Dash-Bridlewood) and her foals are used for racing until retirement. These are the stallions on our shorlist:

• Panama Wes (Walk Thru Fire)
• Capo De Capi (Corona Cartel)
• Texas Icon (Corona Cartel)
• Ocean Runaway (First Down Dash)

Thinking about Separatist, but we're going more on the 'no-go' side.

I know you didn't ask, but I really like Ivory James. They're really calm minded. Really laid back aswell. Real nice horses who just want to please.Just got ours a couple of weeks ago (yearling), he's out of a Separatist x Transforming Bruce-Hawkinson mare.

We are doing Epically Famous on our French Streak To Vegas broodmare and Aint Seen Nothin Yet on our CS Flashlight broodmare!

Others I really like:

Slye By Design 

Irish Pay

LT Tres Ta Fame

Al Cappone

Blazin Honor 

CFour A Darknight

Carrizo

JL Sirrocco

This Guys a Keeper

French Streakin Jess

I have a yearling filling now that I am really exited about. Dam is flighty, athletic and cutting bred. Yearling is more mellow than mama but can outrun her.  And her confirmation is to die for! 

My husband and I only have one mare that we can breed (proven 1D Frenchman's guy daughter) so we have narrowed it down to these three!

-Eddie Stinson

-Epic Leader

-Blazin Jetolena

I am having the hardest time narrowing it down for the life of me

All of these studs have so many wonderful things about them!

I'm going to be crossing Ivory James on my OTTB. She is built like a QH and excelled at the 4 and 5 furlongs. This will be her first cross on a QH but she has already produced winners on the track. 

I'm really undecided on who to cross my FWF mare on. She is cow bred on the bottom. I want to add some height to her foals. 

My Sunfrost GD is currently bred to Seis Guy and I'm thinking she is who I want to breed to Feel the Sting. 

My Corona Cartel granddaughter is who I have scheduled for Fiestas gotta gun. I'm really looking forward to that cross. 

Lol, if your looking for height I would go with something racebred, DTF, or a son of DTF.

Dual Spark

BFR Igniting Sparks

Rebelen

CSR Dual Glo

I dont have plans for 2021 but a few stallions I am always keeping an eye on or looking for babies by:

Lions Share of Fame

MCM ImaHoss

Bogus 

Manors Nick Bar

On a Gator by DTF would fit this bill!

I'm now really considering On A Gator over Feel the Sting. Gator isn't getting any younger and his stud fee is definitely affordable. 

Has Gator ever produced anything? 

I know of 2 in my area that kick butt at the rodeos, love trashy ground! They also will pull a check in the 1D at 3 day shows with 6-800+ runners, so yes. 

Based on that large sample size I am impressed 

thank you. 

Sorry I didnt spend time researching all of his offsprings earnings for you. I know of 2 and they are both nice is all I was saying. I hope you have a good day! :) 

I am planning on breeding to Sun Frost Wonder. 

My mare is FWF on bottom and Marthas Six Moons/Bully Bullion on top and she's large and still growing at 6 years old right now. She was 15.3h at 3, she's somehwere above 16h now, haven't measured her this year. So maybe try something along those bloodlines? Or DTF would/should throw some height in your mix, and run since FWF are generally lacking great speed. Mount Blanc bloodlines should give you something larger as well, all the one's I know are ridiculously tall (like 17h) and can run & turn.

I'd like to do several crosses on my mare, but I won't breed her in 2021. Thinking more 2023, give her a couple years to run before I start breeding. But for her I'd like The Goodbye Lane, Lucky Wonder Horse, Makin Ya Famous, or JL Dash Ta Heaven. My choices are more based on how their strengths and weaknesses would pair, while also giving me something that if I chose to not keep I could easily sell. I would like one by Guys Dash A Latte out of her too, I just have a personal thing for him. I would like an Epic Leader, but I don't want to breed 2 FWF horses together when there's so muh other great lines I could throw in for her. 

I've seen Panama in person.... he's definitely gorgeous.

Yup! My mare gave birth to a filly from him this year! She was absolutely stunning! Sadly, she passed away 3 days later due to an infection. Thankfully, the reproduction center allowed for a rebreed for next year (too late this year with the heat). 

He's a gorgeous boy, but sadly, I don't think his owners are a fan that he had to get retired. ):

We had a client breed to PW last year- his filly this year is gorgeous and such a friendly thing! That client does a lot of match racing, and I think he was also not a fan of PW retiring- he had a lot to say!

Why did he have to retire? 

Panama Wes? He had a hoof/tendon injury (as the vet told us) during a training accident.

I was googling him yesterday. It's a shame he had to be retired early. 

I have a 1D/rodeo mare that is DTF/Doc O Dynamite that I am breeding to Shawne Bug Leo!

I know I'm going to breed to SBL I'm just trying to decide if I want to breed to FWOTR first in 22 or SBL. 

I chose SBL because the mare was really ratey, and watching videos of his offspring, they look like they have a little more run than the FWF horses.  And from what I have heard, have great minds, which is very important to us.  Although, I didn't research FWOTR much.

My short list for 2021 is

Sun Frosted Rocket and Flingin Roses!

Also forgot about my rebreed to JL Dash Ta Heaven. So that one for sure. But until I sell a horse nothing is happening for 2021 other than that. 

I am only breeding 1 to an outside stallion (most of my mares are cowbred). 

My Judge Cash daughter is booked to Sun Frosted Rocket. I tried to breed her late this year and she didn't take. I didn't try again due to the time of year. 

I really want to breed my Blushing Bug daughter to Sue Karges Hankerelse. She's got him running well and he has a super disposition. My mare is out of a good Fire Water Flit daughter. I like the double shot of Slash J Harletta.

I have a Dash for Cash/cow bred mare and I am really looking into Roarr. 

Does anyone have any input on Dashin Dynamo get?  I have seen a couple yearlings out of cow bred mares that look really nice but no idea on disposition, etc. 

The Goodbye Lane

Winners Version

A friend of mine has a gorgeous chocolate palomino mare by Dashin Dynamo. She's out of a Wonder Otoe type bred mare and this filly is doing very well. I've seen him in person myself and he's a very good looking, well-mannered horse.

I personally really like the looks of Makin Ya Famous, JL Dash Ta Heaven, Famous Bugs, and Be A Magnolia Runner.

Be A Magnolia Runner has a very reasonable stud fee, and his babies have been doing really good. He is an outcross which I love pairing to a horse with more "modern" lines. He also has a small crop on the ground compared to SBD and ASNY, but the babies he has on the ground have been killing it lately. I believe he had 2 babies this past week or so set arena records and one of them was running a 16.8 on a standard? Nevertheless, I would look into him!

We were in the same boat and ultimately chose SBL because they don't offer frozen semen to the public unless it's a last resort. With his advancing age, we wanted a foal by him and figured since FWOTR offers frozen semen, we could always choose him next year.

We have our Big Brown daughter booked to SBL and a breeding to Hired Gun that I'm thinking of using on our Shining Spark/Paddys Irish Whiskey/Two Eyed Jack mare. We also have a Shining Spark/Paddys Irish Whiskey/PC Bronsin maiden mare currently in foal to a JLDTH son, and I want to see what that foal looks like before we choose a stallion- I'm hoping it will be a great cross and we can repeat it!

I wonder how SBL would cross on a TB mare. Hmmm. 

I'll let you know in 2022 when the foal is born! We've been super impressed with our TB mare's QH foals thus far- they've all been by Playgun studs, but she's currently in foal to Jesses Topaz with a FGG embryo for 2021.

My two TBs are built like QHs and won at the 4,5 and 91/2 furlong. My one mare is an older (18years) stakes winner. My 15 yeaar old never won a stakes race but earned over 100k. Im really impressed by the pioneer of the Nile lines. I am breeding my 3rd TB to an own son by him and I'm really contemplating breeding a QH by him. Its too bad Pioneer of the Nile passed away. I think he could have been another great QH outcross but after Pharoah took home the TC his stud fee went up to 150,000 instead of his 10,000. 

famous bond looks really really neat!

my mare is by flaming firewater out of a on the money red daughter and kinda thinking about slick by design but not sure if thats too much on the money red...................................

also she is a palomino which is cool but it really limits on the studs I can breed her to..............wish she was a sorrel......ha

Your mares sound super nice!! What Pioneerof The Nile son are you breeding to? I am a huge Empire Maker fan, and I really liked Pioneerof The Nile as well. Did you see where Into Mischief is offering a $10k stud fee to QH mares, compared to his $175k thoroughbred fee? Now we just need to find the perfect QH to breed to him!!

His name is Social Inclusion. 

I did not here about  Into Mischiefs qh discount. Social Inclusion stud fee is only $5000 to either TB or QH. Since I'm having two mares bred to him (TB and a QH) mare I'm getting a bit of a break on top of an already cheap stud fee. 

When it comes to crossing TBxQH I have a mental checklist my qh mares must have. 

Mind, mind, mind

Thick legs and good solid feet

Shorter back 

And they must be running blood. If they are old school run blood it's a super bonus. 

Personally I like Mitole over Into Mischief if I was going to those two Spendthift studs. And he's more affordable at $4k for QH mares.

I am a bigger fan of Mitole as well, but he has zero foals out there whereas Into Mischief has a fantastic sire record (which obviously you're paying more for). IM just had Authentic win the Kentucky Derby.

I will have to look him up! I agree wholeheartedly with your criteria- we were pretty blessed with our Big Brown daughter, she's definitely the whole package (at least in our mind)! Her oldest foal is a 2yo in training and we are very impressed with the three she's had thus far.

Thanks so much! 

We have a yearling and a weanling by DD out of our daughter of Letta Hank Do It, her mother by Shawne Bug.  Both fillies are outstanding conformation wise, and I have to say two of the most good minded we have raised to date. They really want to please and work with you. Quick learners, and my favorite thing - very clean in their pens! Always poop in the same place lol!

I bred my mare to Famous Bugs this year and Jeff was great to work with! I personally feel like Famous Bugs gets overlooked but he has produced some NICE barrel horses. I talked to several people who have owned/ridden them before sending in my contract and every single person raved about them and how they have great minds. That sold it for me. He's 19 this year so who know how much longer he will be around. Side note - speaking of Be A Magnolia Runner, I just saw where is now enrolled in Ruby Buckle! 

Ima Boy Gator (on a gator x Judge Cash mare) has been on fire this year in northwest at the futurities. 

My easy jet GD is officially booked to Ivory James and our three ohs gd has a 2021 date with Easy Rapper. 

I have him in mind for my BJO mare.  However, I'm worried about the cross.  She is only 14.2 and super wide.  Wondering if it would be a good fit. 

I've sent out the contract for FWOTR for my Shawnee bug/Ole Man gd, and we are breeding our SF gd with Fire on Bug. FGG has a date with my CC GD. 

Breeding to our stud! Yay! We had two from his last year. And we are breeding his momma back to Bullseye Bullion (she lost her foal this year). And we are breeding another of our mares to BHR Frenchies Socks.

I am excited about breeding my Doc O Mister Hawk daughter to Stoli.

We have a yearling Stoli filly. She's very nice.

We are breeding to four this year.  Tres King, Sawyers Game Changer, HR Chasin his Memory. And Hi Level Daredevil. 

This is the final list we decided for 2021:

Blazin Jetolena X I Need A Hero (Valiant Hero X Jt Joyride X Streakin La Jolla)

JL Dash Ta Heaven X Ole Rare Hope (Rare Bar X Ole Mans Hope X The Ole Man)

Flingin Roses X Guys Love Lucy (First Down French X Reckless Lucy X Reckless Dash)

Walkin On Fire (FWF) to JL Sirocco 

Perks Mega Million (DFP) to BHR Frenchies Socks

Go For The Fame (DTF) to Blazin Jetolena 

Shawne Bug Leo x Cryptic Smoke (TB) by Big Brown (ET)

Hired Gun x Nebulas Dream (TB) by Champ Pegasus

Brother Jackson x Mila Delights (TB) by Boisterous

Time For The Diamond x Little Ms Pistol by Hired Gun (ET)

Bedergo Ta Heaven x Tis A Slew (TB) by Slewdledo

Holy crap, I just realized how many foals we're having this spring (5) plus breeding these five mares for 2022 and we're having another human baby in July. And my husband is an equine repro vet, so I think we're expecting at least 30-50 mares to be bred on site via AI. I am SO excited for all of these mares to check in foal, but I'm really excited for our coming 3yo Hired Gun filly to be bred to TFTD. She's currently in cowhorse training and just doing phenomenal, it is going to be a stellar cross. 

In addition to my DTF mare being bred to Shawne Bug Leo, we are also breeding my Strawlfy Special/First Down Dash mare to French Streakin Jess and my daughter of Panther Mountain to a well known cutting stud (Gallo de CielloxSmart Little Lena) up here that has been producing a lot of exceptional barrel horses up here.  So pretty exciting for us!

Blazin Jetolena hands down.  

I will have 3 babies this year 2021. I am excited for all the stallions I have lined up for next year.

LD Lil Foxy daughter of Mr Eye Opener

We have Fiestas Gotta a gun and Makin Ya Famous to breed her to.

Ryons Mandy

I have Jb Proud N Famous, HP Dash Ta Fiesta, and Makin Ya Famous. 

I won a breeding to Ima Talented Guy that I might use on a judge cash mare. Or I will use PG Dry Fire on her. 

Busy year for next year 

I have three mares booked to Bogart, a young son of Corona Cartel
