Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | Any info on the horses in this pedigree? (Besides what is in the Legends books. LOL) This is a broodmare. (Big, REALLY good looking, well built, bay roan.) Not for barrel horses, but more along the lines of ranch, roping and pick-up horses. (Will be crossed on my all race bred stallion.)

Location: Carpenter, WY | Well, I can you you I'm very, very, very jealous WYO Quarter horses is Woody Bartlett and Bill Smith. They now hold their sale in Thermopolis. I remember when they had their sale in Torrington I saw Royal Diligents and just fell in love with him. Wasn't real tall at a little over 15H but must have weighed at least 1350 lbs and very well porportioned Every stinking baby of his in that sale was very, very nice and I'm still kicking myself to this day for not bringing one home. Ranch and roping horses, great minds and very athletic. They have made a small fortune over the years crossing Royal Diligents with the Tee J/Jackie Bee mares you can't even find own sons or daughters for sale very often. I think they only had one in their last years spring production sale, a weanling black filly and she sold for 5k. I'll go look on their FB page and see if I can find her pic. This is the sale that sold the 82k RD gelding to some guy in New York as a dude or trail horse. You can't go wrong with Royal Tailwind and have several over the years.
I would just love to see a picture of this mare, but am afraid I'd drool all over the keyboard.Does she carry the circle7 brand?

Location: frozen tundra of pa | I have dealt with several tailwind and jackie bee bred horses. They were all nice looking nice temperments and athletic enough to most anything. Your mare should fit well into what you want her for. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I use to show against a lot of Mr. Tailwind horses since he was from Wisconsin and we lived in Illinois. Back then horses actually showed halter in the morning and were in the performance classes in the afternoon. I would call the above, Jackie Bee and The Continental produced all around horses. They could do it all but weren't outstanding at one thing.
I remember when a couple from IN started to breed specifically for barrel horses and a lot of people thought they were nuts. It seemed back in those days...a horse needed to be able to do it all. I think back to those days and remember how we entered a ridiculous amount of classes on the same horse. The Two Eyed Jack horses were another good example of do it all horses. |

I think you're dead on NTO. The time of one horse being able to do everything and anything really wasn't that long ago. The thought of event specific breeding hadn't come to pass yet.

LOL. I was hoping you would see this as I figured you would know these horses. She is a VERY kind, sweet mare too. Probably 15.3 or so. (I haven't sticked her yet.) I am having computer issues to haven't gotten the pics off of the camera yet. With any luck, I can get them off tomorrow. Otherwise, I will take a couple with my phone. (So you better have a "drool rag" handy! LOL) |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | Well, I FINALLY got the pics off of the camera and they didn't turn out that great! (Figures.) Haven't been able to get more since the fog has been as thick as pea soup the last several days. Here are a couple of the "OK" ones. (At least gives you an idea of what she looks like.)

I agree with the highlighted part! "Jack of all trades master of none" describes my Jackie Bee, Two eyed Jack, very, very well! Has done almost anything we've ever asked of him. Finished head horse, barrel horse and kid toter!(http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/renecue+chief)
Your mare should make outstanding babies, she's a beauty! |

 Worst.Housekeeper.EVER.
Location: Missouri | Congrats on your new purchase! She's pretty!
My FIL has a homebred GS of Royals Diligents that he uses as a herd sire. He is absolutely one of the nicest looking, well mannered horses that I have ever seen. He makes me drool every time I see him. He was broke and roped off of, but does nothing but sire babies now. Too bad, b/c that dude has LOADS of potential! His babies have sold locally, nationally and even internationally. Every one I have seen has been well-built with super kind eyes and beautiful tiny heads.
I have a 3y/o APHA with RD way back in the pedigree. Probably doesn't even count, but he's been really slow maturing and stubborn as sin. I hope he makes it. He's huge, goofy, and awkward. As mentioned, there's a lot more in the mix so not blaming RD at all! But, if he turns out, I'll be proud to have him!
eta: here's a pic I snapped of my FIL's stud this summer.
