Location: Wonderful Wyoming | Tle2424 - 2014-12-29 8:27 AM My mare is a daughter of merridoc. She is long and tall so looking for a stallion with a shorter back and some bone. Would french streaktovegas be a good fit? Or would I be better off with slick by design or blazin jetolena? I want one that could bring good resale as well just in case i dont keep for myself. My mare was off the track with lots of speed. Any other suggestions for under $2500?
You are not going to get good bone with BJO if your mare is already somewhat lacking. Super nice stallion, but I would stick with a mare that is full of substance and maybe 15.1ish tops so to keep the foal balanced. I like a thicker made horse myself though. |

| What about Shawne Bug Leo ? He is thick built and seems to have a good resale value |

I got to meet Shawne Bug Leo in person a couple of months ago...WOW, what a knock out. He is even bigger in person than he looks in pictures. He has really good bone to him and quite a sweetheart. And I cannot say enough good things about his owner. She is just a doll and great to work with. |

My mare that I bred to Streaks is long bodied, I don't feel like my filly is any longer than her. One of the things I like about Streaks is he has won a lot of money with a lot of different people riding him, its not like he was put into a program for a length of time or really had an consistency with who was riding him. I think that speaks a lot to his abilities. The other stud you may want to look into for your mare is A Smooth Guy. He has a really short back, they said he wears a size 2 shoe. I was down to him and Streaks, I went with Streaks because I could get a better deal on the breeding but I'm thinking about breeding a different mare to him this year. He is in the VGBRA stallion auction also. |

A friend of mine just purchased his full sister, what a nice nice mare!! And smokin fast can't wait to see her run this next summer, the friend has raced pro up here and said she has never felt that kind of power after a lifetime of good horses, that alone gives me respect for this cross!
 Emmy? I liked her!!! Good Luck to your friend! Streaks is the kind of horse you would run to the fence to watch run when he came down the alley at a futurity... not too many of those out there IMO....  |

I only got to watch him a couple of times.....my goodness, he can drag his butt and turn one! I'm betting his babies are super nice. It will be fun to watch Jordan on him! |
