Someone said not user friendly, can you elaborate, as I had 2 firewater same sire, the gelding very mellow, the mare is coming 4 and hot she is not user friendly |

Location: Depends where the next barrel race is..... | I have a two year old. We sent her away for 60 days and the trainer had me come get her after 30 days because she was ready for us to ride. That is user friendly so far..... : ) |

Location: California | I have one. Definitely can tell you she was not like a DTFs or FWFs! She was not born knowing how to turn around a barrel, BUT once you showed her (a million times) and never got mad, she really got it. My filly is also Streakin Six/Easy Jet on the bottom. I really like her so far. She is entered in the AZ futurities and is running as a 4 year old. In the recent months she has really matured a lot. I would have definitely labeled her as "immature" this summer. She ran low 18's on a standard set at her first futurity in December and this was after a nearly 2 month break from consistent training since I fell off my Open horse and broke my sacrum in September. My filly definitely needed a rider who could give a lot of one on one attention. I don't think she would have done well in a big time trainer's barn where they have 10+ horses to ride. She would have been put to the back because her talent didn't show through right away. |

Location: Desert Land | I have a 3 year old son of Dinero out of the dam of Sherry Cervi's NFR horse Tinman. I've only had him about a month, but haven't been on him yet. He's broke, but not quite in the shape I want one to be in just yet. But he seems a bit immature, very sweet though. There is a full brother to him standing at stud in Canada and Sherry also has a full brother that I think is a coming 4 year old also. |

| I had a filly by Dinero. Bought her as a yearling, sold her as a 3 year old. My filly was/is extremely sweet and kind and was gorgeous. She almost looked fake. LOL She showed some talent but as a 3 year old she was inmature to the point of being almost lazy. She would do whatever you asked of her but didn't put forth that extra effort. I thave no doubt she's going to be nice as she matures and comes into herself.
I'd definately buy another one. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | Certainly not saying they aren't great horses but they aren't for everyone. There is a reason you see so many succesful FWR stallions running and winning. They just seem to go with the flow and it seems any level of rider can get along with them well. For resale I sure think you can't beat them. There are exceptions of course and you will find exceptions either way.

Pretty much my point. The majority of barrel racers would have blown her up and ruined her.
They need to be in capable hands.
Good luck with her! Hope you win a lot of money and have a ball off of her. Sounds like you have done your homework.

Location: Texas | A good friend has a filly by him and out of her daughter of Dash For Perks. She is very good minded and well built. I don't have any doubt she will be an incredible barrel horse and keep her wits about her. |
