I'm looking for a barrel prospect. Horse I'm looking into has this same pedigree. I tend to like run more.. I'm conflicted and I don't see much of anything on the bottom?

The bottom lines are nicer off the papers. Maybe click on the names and see if it gives you the i for info and see what the horses on the papers have done, if anything.

I Like the bottom side better then the top. I like how the older lines are on this horse. How is this horse built? I like a strong build horse that can really get under its self, and with the way the botton side is it should be a pistol.
I would have to LOVE the way the horse was put together, moving, and attitude. The papers may be solid, but they are not flashy and don't reflect the market. Not much in the resell department if he doesn't work out.

I see a lot of work and little run. What little run the top side will throw I would worry that the bottom side would dilute out. But here's the thing. I have had several horses in my lifetime with papers that didn't scream speed turn out to be top horses or at least nice enough for resale to get my money out of them. Consider the price, temperment, conformation, way of going and so forth. If it all looks worthwhile in those areas it may be worth giving the filly a shot.
Choose a nice second or third generation Appendex bred AQHA stallion who has the type or throws the type best for your program.
such stallions will throw their type consistently. This way you introduce hybrid vigor and speed to this versatile pedigree. Nice pedigree all you need is speed and hybrid vigor.
