Location: NE Texas | I don't know anyone who has an own son or daughter of Corona Cartel, however I had a filly by a son that was very user friendly. She's now in MN and doing well. Being a grand daughter, I don't think I can say that any of her traits came directly from CC himself, as she was a big, leggy filly, however I wouldn't hesitate to try another grandson or daughter. |

Location: Kentucky | I just sold a yearling grandson of King Corona. He is big, smart, and beautiful. He is the type where if you teach him once, you better like how you do it because he will remember it. He has the most beautiful hip, he's just a nice looking colt. |

Location: Texas...where dreams come true | Oops I should have been a little more specific... I have a granddaughter and I've had several people tell me she has the characteristics of cartel horses. She is off the track she is kinda quirky doesn't really like to be very bendy in a run but is pretty bendy anytime else. Just wondering what everyone elses is like. She is a very fast learner.. its kinda scary haha

I have a son of Ivory James, so grandget of CC, and I agree with your statement here. He is soft in the face and broke nicely, but in a run he is much more stiffer. He's the type you push up into the turn and he'll fold back around. He still needs seasoning and finished out, but I don't ever imagine him being a bendy horse when competing. |

| Your question is too vague. If you are talking grand get, that's 5 out of 6 horses in those two generations that aren't CC. Sort of like saying how are the FDD. While lots love DTF, some don't like Royal Quick Dash. Both are FDD but they sire totally different.
We have an Ivory James and a Pappasito. Two totally different types of horses that are pretty hard to compare. The IJ is very lazy. She never forgets anything, good or bad. She has been a challenge because of this. The Pappasito just got home from being broke. She was tough to start. But once she decided to give in, she gave in completely. She was really bad about wanting to check out when she got scared.
The only similar thing about both is that they both have always wNted to be really light in the face.

| I have a son of Ivory James and Jet Cartel, both sons of CC out of same dam, both SMART and talented. Both are super light in the face but tend to be stiffer in a turn. My Ivory James has alot of forward motion in the turn, naturally a turner. My Jet Cartel wants to roll back almost BUT he is 16'2 and a lot of legs, like a FRIGGIN giraffe. Sweet boys! |

| I have a friend who has a gelding by a CC son and out of an Easily Smashed bred mare. He is NICE. He ran on the track and they said he would nicker when he was running down the track because all the other horses were running with him and he was happy. But they bought him off the track and started him on the pattern and he was smoking all of us in no time. He already knew how to run from being on the track, and has a stride a mile long. Very sweet to be around.
Is the kind of horse that you have to push all the way into a turn and when you touch him he snaps right back around on himself. And like the others above, he likes to stay a little stiffer in his turn, but can come right around on himself. Whenever he would start to be a little bit of a stinker, they just simply throw a different bit on him for a run, or throw a tie down on him and it would refocus him and then he'd be fine for months. It was like he would get bored, but the slightest change would cause him to focus again.

| I have a gd and soft in the face until you run and it's like pulling on a brick wall... She's a free runner and needs an aggressive rider... |

Location: Georgia | I have a gelding by Agouti and out of an own daughter of Strawfly Special. He's a bit smaller than I'm use to but he has a lot of growing left to do. He was started on the track as a 2 year old but due to his size and awkwardness with his legs he didn't make it on the track. I got him as a 4 year old and he was nicely broke and barely started on the pattern(walk/trot). He's very broke, bendy, and light in the face during drills and ground work but I can tell just since our last few exhibitions he's going to be a sling shot in and out of his turns. We're fast loping the pattern now and once his shoulders get to the barrel he's stiffening up to roll back and make his turn. He's very smart and willing but man is he LAZY!!! It's a close tie between who sweats more during a workout. I really like him though! |

Location: Mississippi | I recently got a 5 yr old son of Ivory James and so far LOVE him. He was not in the best physical condition when he came to me so I have been taking him slow while putting some weight and muscle on him. As others have mentioned he is a little on the stiffer side but he has a really nice pattern on him and I am excited about our future together. He was successful on the track, is extremely laid back and will be absolutely gorgeous once he fills out. And very smart! Can't find anything bad to say about him so far
