 Can You Hear Me Now?
 
Location: When you hit the middle of nowhere .. Keep driving | Nope never will touch one again. I have been around, and rode several and well they are gorgeous they are idiots when you ride. Even just a trail ride can become a battle. I also find that they all have feet that aren't proportionate IMO (ones I have seen). My girl I took a chance on for a trail horse is a pasture pet with bad feet and circulation in her legs; it's been a constant fight.
Hypp should be factored to whomever posted against that, it's a horrible thing to witness. I definitely would never consider an N/H horse. | |

He was good for throwing halter horses.... (pretty horses)... nice to look at... Perfect little feet with lots of heel... | |

Location: Oklahoma | It comes down to what your plans are for the filly. If you plan to market foals from her, or market her in the future, just know her pedigree will be a stumbling block in some disciplines. However, armed with that information, make the decision that is best for you and your plans.

Hungarian Midget Woman
Location: Midwest | My horse (great grandson) is lots fun, solid 3D (but is faster on a good day lol), and I've had him for 10 years. I have done english and jumping as well as barrels with him. He has lots of try and a good heart. VERY honest. Never has crashed a barrel unless I ran him over it literally, never has run up a fence. 16 HH, 17 yo this year
Mine you can't pick at, or do the same thing over and over with. He's smart and gets bored. He's a fast learner. The more soft you are, the more soft he will be. Try to fight him and he will fight back, but never in a dangerous way, more in a stubborn way. He bucked with the previous owner, but rarely with me, and it was more of a "play" than anything serious. He loves to run. He hasn't bucked in years. I think he bucked before because he needs a job, and his previous owner only rode a few days per week.
He has flatter front feet, but they are by no means small. All of his feet are huge, and aside from some mild lower hock soreness, he's been very sound. (knocked on wood). He's also not built very much like a halter horse- he was bred to be a HUS horse I beleive, as his dam has lots of performance points in HUS. (He's not really typey enough for that).
He is also very sweet. So yeah, I'd take another in a heartbeat.

Location: Sperry, OK | It boils down to this: All bloodlines make great horses and all bloodlines make couterfit, ill mannered/tempered, crooked legged, no brain having pieces of crap! Just like car manufacturers, they all make good ones and they all make lemons. You never know what the genetics will throw at ya. For everyone that says Impressive horses are stubborn, crazy, broncy, have bad feet, ect.. I can say the same thing about every top of the line breeding out there and can name names of people who swear by each one and also people who swear off each one. I am not saying the percentage of crap horses from certain lines aren't higher/lower, but it is what it is.
If you like the horse, and it fits your program buy it.. doesn't matter what the breeding is and dosen't matter what anyone else thinks. If the horse is balanced and comformationaly correct (at least good enough for you) the chances of the horse making something worthwhile only go down by lack of training or bad training, not by breeding alone. | |
