VF Firin Fun and YQH Frenchman Fly

*VF Firin Fun stands in the panhandle of Florida. He's a stunning buckskin with size, balance, mind, and a gentle soul. I met Marshall in person. His kindness and gentleness stole my heart. Unfortunately, he was involved in an accident when he was young that caused long term hip problems. He's been roped on and is patterned, but cannot handle the physical demands of a performance career. Marshall's owners are fantastic people. They're super easy to work with. Marshall has a Facebook page (VF Firin Fun), or you can contact his owners, Wendy and Bard Monroe, on Facebook.

I have a 5 year old daughter of his that has an old soul. She's as kind and gentle as they come. I call her my sloth because she just walks around so slowly, dragging her toes and looking for love. But, once I'm on her she's completely different. She's incredibly hard working and athletic. I started this filly myself, and she's extremely forgiving and wants to please. I don't think she'd handle a heavy hand well.

*YQH Frenchman Fly stands in Tennessee. He's a beautiful grey with a performance record of his own. Fly is a maternal brother to Mulberry Canyon Moon. He's on Facebook, and has a flyer here on Barrel Horse World. His owners are super easy to work with, and he ships well.

I owned a 3 year old out of him. He was insanely smooth and intelligent. We ended up selling him because my daughter's old gelding was chasing him so aggressively that someone was going to end up cut in our barbed wire fence, and at the time we weren't set up to easily separate. Goose went on to a performance home who love him! They've started him on the flag and the pattern, and seem to love him on both.

Both stallions are paid into a couple incentives, but I can't remember which off the top of my head.

I appreciate both stallions so much that I've put a deposit on a 2021 filly by Marshall, and have a mare checked in foal to Fly for 2022.

The thing I value most about my experiences with these studs' offspring is their mind. I am absolutely no trainer. My husband and I have a 4 year old daughter and a 2 month old son. Trainability and quietness mean most to us. I don't futurity, so incentives aren't a big deal to me. I just want a horse that is family friendly, balanced, kind, and athletic. So far, that's what we have found with both of these stallions. I'm sure there are others out there as well! Best of luck in your search!

It's funny you mention Fly. I have a 3 year old by him that I like. I didn't raise her but bought her from Jessica (Fly's owner). I'd just kind of like to branch out a bit for this mare I'm breeding. I'll check out vf firin fun, thanks so much for all the helpful info! :)
