Location: Somewhere in the hills of ND | I picked up a yearling that is a grandson of Packin Six on the topside and is a grandson of of Smart Chic Olena on the bottom side. Just wondering what to expect out of him next year when I start him in the late spring. He seems to be smart and welling but very laid back. Any info or input would be great. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I have never been around a Packin Sixes but we have daughter of Sixarun that I love. She's kind of a big nerd, but loves people and all her babies are very kind.
I have ridden several get and grandget of Smart Chic Olena, the only ones I hated and I do mean hated, were by Paid by Chic. They were sour minded and just big turds. The only reining/cowhorse that had buck in them right from the get go. So other than that, Smart Chic is awsome especially if you get some Colonel Freckles thrown in somewhere on the bottom side.

| Chic Olenas are typical super soft and bendy. We always cross them on something stiffer like a Nu Cash. No clue on Packin Six |

Location: Somewhere in the hills of ND | Thank you all I am kind of excited to get him started this spring. We will use him to move cattle at first but then I will start him on barrels. He seems very smart and sensible to this point. Really wants to be in your pocket and your best friend when you are out in the pasture or in his pen. |

Ask Diane Guinn about this line. |

| There is a girl that runs a Stud that's a son of Packin Sixes around my area. He seems pretty mellow. I wouldn't have guessed he was a stud. Very athletic. They cleaned house all summer, but towards the end of the year he became gate sour, but nothing crazy, just stood there with his feet planted. The girl and her sister had to drag him in the gate.
I also put the 30 days on a green broke colt that was a son of Packin Sixes. He was stubborn and a little more stiff throughout his body then I prefer. But very calm, no bucking or funny business. He ended up being a 1D barrel horse. . |

| We had a granddaughter of Smart Chic Olena around here for a little while. Incredible athlete....could stop and suck back so hard she threw you over her head. Could buck off a steep 20 foot pond dam without falling. She punched her ticket the day she went to bucking in the middle of 2 large Charolais bulls that were fighting each other. When she and her rider got out of that mess, she found a new zipcode with full disclosure. |

Location: Texas | I had a daughter of packin sixes and we now have her 2013 Filly by Confederate Leader.
We were hit with A LOT of vet bills and she was a mare I knew would sell fast, so we had to sell her. Makes me sad but she lives with Robyn Herring now and is going to have foals by Firewaterontherocks so I know she will be in great hands.
I would take a packin sixes any day! |

Location: Somewhere in the hills of ND | Wel hopefully he won't be one who likes to buck. So far I like him we will see what spring brings. I know he is not very big right now hope he grows some. He is a hairy thing right now with the winter we are having. |

Location: North Dakota | Never had any experience with Packin Sixes horses, but Smart Chic Olenas make phenomenal barrel horses. Nearly everyone I have been around has been straight cow bred and can shut the clock off! A Chic In Time is just wow. I love what he produces. I wish I was closer to Texas so I could breed a couple mares to him. |
