| Yes I would buy her!!! For under $1000 you can always sell her as a brood mare if it doesn't workout. Really like her papers. Bugs Alive in 75, Azure Te, Rocket Wrangler, and Pacific Bailey are names of extremely nice studs that made a huge impact in the barrel racing industry. We wouldn't have some of the top name studs in the business today without these guys!

| Well folks I went out there and she was certainly not what I expected or what I hope she would be. she was well loved by novice horse owners her nutrition was poor her pasture was poor. she's very small much smaller than I hoped. Just not what I hoped she would be. Tacked her up anyway... which I was told she hadnt been in nine months and even still the last time she was rode she was led around with a kid on her back. She's very green but no buck when confused she seems to be very willing just doesn't know anything. |

Sounds like your going to have to invest some money into her nutrition and health first and then her training. But with her pedigree, there is a good chance she's a diamond in the rough. |

| Well she's in a stall here at home.i found previous owners phone number on old coggins. From what I understand this lady bought her at a small-town auction got her home and felt like she was too large for the horse at that time the horse was very green but a sweet sweet mare. She only kept her for a couple months and sold her. She said she didn't have a clue about what she was but she does recall her being so very fast. It was nice to have previous owner be so forthcoming and willing and and wanting to share. It's a mystery how she ended up at a small town auction and two owners that didn't have a clue what she was. I did hesitate but of course my fifteen-year-old daughter felts like she needed a chance so we loaded her up and brought her home she is certainly nothing to please the eye at this time we will work on that!!! |

| Glad to hear that you brought her home! I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised to see what she can blossom into with some good groceries, getting back in shape, and finishing out her training. Keep us updated, I am a huge fan of the BA75 bloodline. |

Location: Stuck in a cubicle having tropical thoughts | make sure you do some before and after pics. I'd love to see her now but understand if you want to wait until she's in better health.
I'm glad you brought her home. |

| I wanted to give an update for those of you that asked. We are still working on getting the Mare physically healthy enough. She needs some work on her Top Line there's nothing we can do about her conformation. No matter what happens my daughter wanted to give her a shot and I support her all the way hopefully the pictures that I tried to attach here will post. When we get further along in her training I will certainly update |

Location: Williamsville, MO | I was in your same position a few months ago. 6 y/o gelding NOT BROKE, Streakin Six/Casady Casanova bred. Both parents 1D horses. Priced under the $1000 mark and I still hesitated because of his age and as a gelding would not work out as a broodmare lol. But he has really surprised me, i start all of my own horses and he has been very easy. He is more "mature" about things than my other 3 y/o filly i started at the same time. Other than that he has been no different to start and im very happy with my decision, i think he will be a good one. I felt very rushed to get him going since he had such a late start but he is right where he needs to be now with a couple months training, about ready to start on the pattern. Good Luck with your project :) |
