    Location: Fort Polk Louisiana | Noticed alot of ya'll have Beduino bred horses from the bloodline thread. How do you like them? Where is Beduino on your horses pedigree? Any trouble with late blooming? My mare is 6 and needs to be ridden alot. Just now starting to settle and come around. |

   Location: where the roosters crow at dawn | We have several. One is a grandson on the top side, he is hot, impatient, hard headed. But this particular family is kind of known for these traits, some have been very succesful in the rodeo arena. One mare is a great grand daughter on the top side, she is fun to be around, always willing to go do anything. The other is a grandson on the bottom side he also is real laid back. So I don't go "looking" for that particular blood line, but I don't completely avoid it. You have to evaluate the individual, bare be aware that they are kind of known for being hot, and hard headed. I have even heard some people jokingly refer to them as BADuino's |

        Location: Somewhere but really not Anywhere | Yes, they are late bloomers, and that is just my personal experience. I have a son of "Dash of Buduino" and I bought him from my friend who raised him,he was 2, I came home and turned him out for about 6 months to let him be a colt, then I started riding him slowly, but had to stay on him, because if I went to long, it was like starting all over again. I started training him about 1 1/2 years ago and started hauling him last summer and then in October taking him to 4D's and exhibitioning him. Within the last 2 months started really pushing him and he is doing great! I took my daughter to a rodeo 2 weeks ago, her horse had an abcess, she ran him and ran a 17.5 (loping to the first barrel and between 1st and 2nd), what won it was a 17.0...He is turning 6 in April and I see a huge difference in him, so I would say "yes" they are late bloomers.....but I sure love them...my horse is my best friend and what a personality he has!!!! |

  Location: TX | I recently sold my Chicks Beduino horse, I would own another in a minute...for a horse with a SI 103, he was the most reliable barrel horse I've had the privilage of owning. The Beduino horses are given bad names, but you MUST consider their former training. My paticular horse was claimed at the racetrack for $10,000, futuried by Kay Blanford and then I had the opportunity of owning him and had owned him for about four years. This horse taught me alot and I will always remember him and everything I learned from him.

| I must agree. The one I sold had the worst training when she came off the track. I took her as far as I could then sent her to a trainer. He made her worse. She was worse when she came home than she was when I bought her. Some Trainers should be shot. |

        Location: NW Arkansas | One of my broodmares is out of Desert Jewel by Beduino x Denium n Diamonds. She's can be a stinker. The only time I've been bit has been by her. I have a 2 year old filly out of her and a Mito Paint stud-- she's a stinker in making. Very standoffish. She kicked the vet when she was a month old with both back feet right in the stomach. It wasn't a pretty sight. We argue over who has to start saddling and working with her this summer. I'm thinking my husband should. She'll either be a heck of a horse or a hellion that's for sure. |

     Location: san antonio texas | I have a grandson of Beduino on the top side. He was on the track as well, and he is so quiet and nothing but a pleaser. He is very athetic and down to earth. Very shy horse. I really like mine. He's a bit of a hard keeper though. |

      Location: Texas | My only experience with Beduino horses is the one I am sending home, I was in the process of buying him but came to my senses. He is very broke and is easy to ride as long as you don't ask him to run - then his brain goes away. Thank God, the sellers are diving me my money back. Don't think I will try another one. |

        Location: OK, KS STATE LINE | What little I know is they are bred to run fast, very fast. MO is they are narrow between the eyes and when it comes to useing the brain it dont engage. I am going on the colts. After training I have no idea, would say they are horses you have to handle very easy and slow. BUT we have a gdaughter of Special Effort and By a Dash For Cash, Bugs Alive stud that is very smart but having to handle very slow.

      Location: Lost in a Corn field! Indiana | I bought one 6 months ago and asked for advice on here about them and you guys were right! They are hard headed. Mine wasn't too bad you just didn't dare pick a fight with him outside of that I enjoyed him the brief 3 weeks that I owned him. He was actually a western and english horse. We sold him to family and they love him! |

     Location: san antonio texas | Mine wasn't too bad you just didn't dare pick a fight with him Why would you want to pick a fight with any horse Beduino or not? I know alot of horses that are hard headed, I think it gives 'em an edge, you just have to know how to handle them. My Beduino isn't the fastest maturer either, he's 4 this year and I'm just now adding speed and he is handling it great. |

     Location: tennessee | I have a 2 yr old gray stud sired by el chico bedunio.He is a real sweetheart so far to be a stud.He hasn't been bred to any mares yet,but he has been around some and although interested he has good manners.He is very good to handle on the ground and i haven't put a lot of time into his trainning,he is just naturally good natured.I have started breaking him and he is doing great,never bucked and is giving his head good and has a very willing attitude.It will be another year before i can tell if he is going to be a hot headed beduino when he is asked to start rating the barrels,but so far i couldn't ask for a better young one to start.He also has some moon lark and go man go,so i could be in trouble later on. |

    Location: Fort Polk Louisiana | oh wow!! ya'll pretty much summed up my mare in one big package. She is out of Duel Fuel so she is grand-daughter to Beduino. Very sweet (couldn't ask for a better personality on the ground will walk up to you in the pasture and loves to be petted and brushed) horse. Impatient, hard headed, can be hot, very smart but has trouble using the smartness with speed. She has just started comming around this year but for awhile I had almost given up all hope. She's the type of horse that you cant "make" do anything and if you do you might as well unsaddle and put her up because your not going to win. Its taken alot of patience on my part and revamping my training methods even seeking a trainer to deal with both of us at least once a week. First show out (we are only exhibitioning this year do to her flukeyness) she ran a 15.625 and I was extremely impressed as at home she sometimes forgets to rate. The pattern at home is quite large(standard size around 17-18 sec.) and this pattern was pretty small. She set down like a pro and didn't kick once or push her at all and most of all she did not even show on instance of her hotness. Top time in the 1D was a 14.9. Still considering selling this mare but that sums up what I thought that its just not her its just her lines that contribute. Iv had a couple people aurge that its JUST HER lately and when I tell them Iv heard alot of Beduino horses are like this and take a little more time they dont beleive me and say you cant blame a line for traits so prominent. She's really not that bad but needs to be ridden ALOT to keep her in her place. As long as she gets 3 + good days of riding she's a super horse. She's been in heat the last couple times Iv ridden and been a complete angel. We went on a trail ride yesterday and we long trotted did some short breezing on a back dirt road passed 2 stallions and lots of things that could of been boogers etc. She never blinked and didn't act moody at all. |

| I just bought a grandson bottom side Beduino. He just came 5 and has about 90 days on him. He is very laid back and a real lover. He seems extremely smart and willing. He is an own son of 1st Down Dash. I am hoping for great things from him. He does need riding alot before he gets his mind down to business but he doesn't get stupid. I love him. |

   Location: HOME OF THE DILLON BEAVERS!!!!!!! | I owned a grandson of Beduino and he was a challenge also. The first years he was spent on cattle and what a cutter. He would almost lose you to get that cow. I trained him myself for the barrels and man you talk about speed, I could make tons of mistakes and then bcause he ran so fast make it up. I won like 7500.00 on him and a saddle and 12 buckles and silver bits. Last year I sold him and for a price of 15,000.00 . I really miss him but he went to a college girl who kicks some serious A$$. He was never mean,never bucked but just got hot because he loved to run. He ran the poles in the high 20's and was 16 hands tall, he was the best money I ever spent on a horse. |

        Location: I'm lost - please tell me, I'm not on BHW again!!! | I like mine in someone else's yard! LOL No really, we had a broodmare who's dam was a daughter of Beduino, and she was a super nice horse and all of her babies were runners but also willing to learn and be very happy to do things. Matter of fact WWFH has one of her get and he is super!!! So it's just like any other bloodline it just depends on who they're bred too and what kind of horse they want to be. |

    Location: texas | I have a friend who trains race horses. He loves them. He says that they have "freak" speed and could win a race on 3 legs. But he says that Behold a Beduino horses are the hard headed and hottest horses he has ever had to deal with, so maybe it has little more to do with those lines rather than the whole bunch. I have seen several and they could fly, but they all looked like they needed time and patience. I wouldn't mind having one. |

    Location: Fort Polk Louisiana | okay anyone wanna share pictures of your horses? I love grays anyways but think that the beduino body structure is passed on along with all his other atributes. This picture is from last year when she was in really good shape. Recent picture shows her big belly but gained muscles. Im working that belly off right now.

       Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | From my experience and what others have said...they (that bloodline) don't fit in at my place. I like my horses easy to get along with and willing. That is not what I experienced with the Beduino granddaughter I had. She did NOT want to work for a living. Even the slightest pressure to conform to the program made her blow up and become a blithering idiot. She had a limited capacity to learn. I had her from the time she was 2 until she was 6 and she never mentally grew up (or even made any great progress) in that amount of time. And she for sure didn't want to be a barrel horse.  I sold her and heard a couple of years later from the people who owned her....she hadn't changed much. I will NEVER own another one.  |

Unless I'm just so good a trainer and he is hard headed and I just get along with hard headed horses!!! I wish!! |

You can see her on my mare page on my website http://www.schimkeranch.com/ I bought her last summer and she was open. She was purchased by a friend of mine at the Heritage Place sale, in foal to Skirt Chasin Alibi, but ended up open. Then they couldn't get the rebreed worked out with the shipped semen last year. I just bred her to Oh Magnolia a couple weeks ago and am hoping to get a pretty blue roan out of that deal!

        Location: Oklahoma | Any of you guys that want another Beduino bred horse...I know where there are two that are pretty reasonably priced. One is a gray 8 yr old with a 92 SI and the other is a bay 6 yr old with an 82 SI. The gray is started on barrels by a former World Champ and multiple NFR qualifier...the bay is finished and has been hauled. PM me if you want more info. |

       Location: Gainesville, TX | I raised a daughter of BIDUINO, a AAA son of Beduino. She was out of a AAA Go Dick Go mare who was a pretty fair producer (8 of her 11 starters ROM with SI of 88 to 101). The BIDUINO filly was dumb as a box of rocks with an ill temper to boot. I couldn't wait to get rid of her and don't think I'll ever want another Biduino bred horse. |

      Location: oklahoma | I never really wanted to own one because of everything I had heard about the Beduino horses. I then purchased two Beduino colts, one mare and one gelding. Both were the sweetest colts I had ever worked with. I guess I would have to say that every horse is different and that you should not condemn a breeding due to what others have said. I would have missed out on some nice horses if I had listened to everyone else. |

     Location: In the middle of what matters most. SD | I have a daughter of Mr Eye Opener (he's out of a Beduino daughter). When I got her, they told me she was cold backed, but I have not had any problems with her. She is 8. She is really sweet but can be a ditz when her buddy leaves. She tries really hard. I have not had her long enough to put much pressure on her so I don't know how she will handle that. She is out of the same dam as Marthas Six Moons and I have heard that his foals can be cold backed so that problem could come from her bottom side. I'd own another Bediuno horse if it was like her. I don't like to stereotype horse bloodlines I guess. Bloodlines are an important factor, but not the only factor that makes a horse how it is. Plus, with my mare being a great granddaughter of Beduino, there are a lot of other contributing bloodlines. |

      Location: sunny california | I have a grand daughter of Beduino and she was pretty pig headed, until about 7 years old. Didn't matter how broke you got her, if she sat even a little while she was back at square one. She is pretty cool now, but will always require maintence. But she has the funniest personality and the biggest heart. Many people have rode her and the really good hands that I would consider a really good trainer, didn't have problems with her; but if there is even a tiny hole in your program, she will chew you up, spit you out, and make you look and feel stupid. When I even think of taking a shortcut, I have to backtrack and watch that she doesn't eat me. |

     Location: Depends where the next barrel race is..... | This is interesting...... the number two horse in the world right now is Beduino bred. Tami Fontenot's horse is Beduino bred. I make my judgement on a horse individually. Years ago I wouldn't have owned a Doc Bar bred horse if you paid me because I based it on one horse. I have since owned three very talented individuals with Doc Bar in them, one was double bred. I learned a very valuable lesson, never judge a horse just on it's pedigree. It is the total package. I believe that the Dam is just as important as the sire anyway. |
